HQ & Conference Center / Archi+ + Guerin & Pedroza Architects

Located within the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex (Morocco), the "lighthouse building," intended to house a Reception and Conference Center and the Masen offices, is the starting point for the programming of circuits of diversified scientific and cultural visits. The architecture of the building went through several phases, but the philosophy and ambition developed upstream of the project were the continuous threads of reflection. The building should be representative of the complex's environmental commitment and technical excellence. The architectural concept meets the same requirements: innovation, strong identity, and integration in a particular environment. The architects propose a set of "exploded" buildings, inserted in the same concern for compactness in a perfect rectangle and arranged around a panoramic tower. Each entity displays the singularity of its volume in a unique, sculptural, and dynamic composition. The advantages of this composition are multiple: the uses are differentiated (Masen Services, Masen Center) but remain and communicate with each other.

In 2006, the city of Bondy, in the suburbs of Paris, launched an urban renewal programme that applies to its northern neighbourhoods, beyond the Ourcq Canal. The area called the Noue Caillet where this building is located is typical of the post-World War II reconstruction. 2,023 flats where built between 1959 and 1964 in order to address the need for housing. They were high-rises that ranged from 2 to 13 floors. Yet they haven’t aged well and no longer respond to today’s urban stakes. Any improvement of the living environment of the inhabitants means an upgrading, a de-densification, an opening-up and integration to the urban fabric of these social housing neighbourhoods.
