The purpose of this facility is to go along the urban renewal of the Emmaus-Saint-Michel district, which is a priority district in the Urban Social Cohesion Contract, and which benefits from social, economic, educational, and cultural development actions for the low-income people that are particularly affected by exclusion. As soon as you enter this project of ours, the globe in the meeting room symbolises the idea of community. The continents represented by a multitude of small mirrors are deliberately inverted to disorientate the users. Around this sphere and around the meeting room are the reception, the activity room, the offices, the library where people meet and exchange. Inside, people meet, make decisions, and move forward. The design of the library is based on the idea of difference: the shelves are of different sizes, depths, and colours.
