SILOS 13 – cement distribution center | Paris (13)

Program : Construction and design of a cement distribution center, built within 5 meters from Paris’s ring (périphérique), in the new Bruneseau neighborhood, an urban context fast moving at the end of the Avenue de France in Paris’s far East. Five silos limited to 37 m in height have been built for different parts of the program: one for offices on the street, another one for a test center underneath the ring road, one vertical link (stair + elevator) and two large silos hosting cement in up to 6 different qualities.
The site is linked to the Austerlitz station rails but is very small in size.
For this reason part of the program is built either bellow the peripherique or high on legs, partly above the street.

The project faces the Berlier Building, built by Dominique Perrault and 1990′s Equerre 1st prize. It will also soon be the neighbor of Paris’s next incredible building: a 180 m office tower designed by Jean Nouvel. The center will take another dimension with the addition of an artistic intervention that has been ordered from Laurent Grasso… more on this soon.

The initial question for us architects was to “design” this industrial project located 5 meters from Paris’s eastern ring road, and make it fit in the new Bruneseau Nord urban district at the end of ZAC Rive Gauche’s large development area.
