L'Autre Canal

The RCCM participates in the overall urban plan for green spaces in this huge district of Nancy which is in the process of radical transformation. The principle is to 'hollow out' this urban space, characterized by its powerful, compact architectural style, and containing the very core of the program (concert halls, studios, offices, etc.), and to pierce through it an interior street in bright red, situated on the ground level to facilitate access for the public and for equipment. This interior street is the user-friendly and functional 'Fil Rouge'. The extensively glass-enclosed reception area leads to the small concert hall through the double-entrance security door integrated into a service and utility area. It includes the DJ booth for concerts in the hall, the ticket window and coat-check, and merchandise stands. The second part of the 'Fil Rouge' leads to the multimedia areas and the concert hall. Exhibition space and studios are located on the upper floor.
