Set in an area carrying France’s long history of extraction economies, the site of this lead mine is the oldest of its kind in the country. Our concept for the transformation and the extension of one of the main buildings there suggests the reinstatement of the old structure and its conversion into a médiathèque, dance and exhibition hall – a new community center. With respect to the historic fabric, our idea of a contemporary interpretation of this traditional industrial building would catalyze new public activities for the community of Pont-Péan.
