圣埃利-德-卡克斯顿市政府与Agence Spatiale公司合作,设计并实施了一个庭院,在自然和文化公园内举办各种艺术和文化表演。这个地方鼓励会议和聚会,同时尊重Saint-Élie-de-Caxton周围的想象力。为了促进这个庭院与市政景观中的节日帐篷外观相融合,这个概念受到了该市传统的加拿大屋顶的启发,并以自己的方式重新诠释了它。木材的使用直接回应了公园里的家具,作为对周围森林的一种提醒。内部建筑像一本书一样打开,观众在其中处于故事的中心。

The municipality of St-Élie-de-Caxton has teamed up with the firm Agence Spatiale for the design and implementation of a courtyard to host various artistic and cultural performances in the Nature and Culture Park. The place encourages meetings and gatherings while honoring the imaginary surrounding Saint-Élie-de-Caxton. To facilitate the integration of this courtyard with the appearance of a festive tent in the municipal landscape, the concept is inspired by the traditional Canadian roofs of the municipality and reinterprets it in its own way. The use of wood responds directly to the park’s furniture, as a reminder of the surrounding forest. The interior architecture opens like a book in which the spectator is at the heart of the story.

这个概念唤醒了围绕圣埃利-德-卡克斯顿市的故事和传说的俏皮世界。这本不寻常的书变成了一个盒子,一个被揭开的盖子,揭示了一个隐藏的世界。屋顶只靠在一边,给人的印象是像被施了魔法一样坚持着,或者被一阵风吹走。这个结构在整个过程中与工程师紧密合作。木板条来自于当地工业,切割由当地工匠完成。

The concept awakens the playful universe of tales and legends that surround the municipality of Saint-Élie-de-Caxton. The unusual volume becomes a box, a lid that is lifted to reveal a hidden world. Resting on one side only, the roof gives the impression of holding on as if by magic or being blown away by a gust of wind. This structure was worked closely with engineers throughout the process. The wood slats were sourced from local industry and the cutting was done by local craftsmen.

这个场地首先被开发为一个多功能空间,可以全年使用,并能容纳200人。为了适应演出的需要,还增加了一个封闭的化妆间和储藏室。

Developed as a multi-purpose space first and foremost, the venue can be used year-round and can accommodate 200 people. An enclosed dressing room and storage were added to accommodate the performances.

作为一个旨在将市民聚集在一起的集体场所,庭院还有另一个使命:吸引家庭,在想象力上打下烙印,并在全省范围内传播该市的信息。正是由于公司和市民之间的密切合作,才使得这个迷人的、具有象征意义的市政概念得以实施。

A collective place that aims to bring citizens together, the courtyard has another vocation: to attract families, make a mark on the imagination, and spread the word about the municipality throughout the province. It is the close collaboration between the firm and the citizens that allowed the implementation of this enchanting and emblematic concept for the municipality.
