City Municipal Office Complex / ECDM Architects

Courtesy of ECDM Architects

ECDM Architects’ proposal is for a unifying building, a building that represents both the Mériadeck neighborhood and the old city, that participates in defining an urban landscape and carries the values of a society more open to its environment. It was therefore around the creation of an open space, a space of convergence and exchange that they wanted to organize the program, a space framing the city, organizing open programs and services around the borders, a space animated by its users and actors. It acts as a beautiful and lively space, where the dynamism of Bordeaux is displayed for a close and urban administration. More images and architects’ description after the break.

The project is foremost about a relationship with the exterior, a proposal for a continuation of public space within the plan of the building. The city and the municipality are thought of as an amalgamation of spatial conditions. There is the potential to create a strong interdependence between the two: we are in one of the hearts of the city.
