Chartier Corbasson have created Maison de l’Architecture which was drawn on features of religious architecture. The concept behind the maison is to create thresholds between the spaces by what Chartier Corbasson terms as patches thus integrating all the components/space together. Corten steel is used to create an overall coherence because steel add a chronological dimension and history of the location. The ground-floor space is a versatile public reception area. Visitors will notice a large metal plaque embedded in the floor of the chapel area which can be raised and folded to create a series of movable backdrops. There are other plaques in the wall but only open out to provide display surfaces or to protect technical equipment. The Architect has designed it as a continuation of the chapel with offices of the association board the upper floor.
