MUSEE SOULAGES DESIGN BY RCR ARQUITECTES WITH PASSELAC & ROQUES MUSEE SOULAGES DESIGN BY RCR ARQUITECTES WITH PASSELAC & ROQUES In 2008, RCR Arquitectes teamed up with the firm Passelac & Roques architects to take part in the Greater Rodez Authority’s design competition for the Soulages Museum. Chosen among 98 applicants, their project placed the museum on the north side of the entirely renovated Foirail garden. They grasped the significance of the site, considering it as a link between the historic centre and the new quarters. RESPECTFUL OF ITS SURROUNDINGS Respectful of its surroundings, the building is organised in a succession of cubes. The intervals remind the passerby of the ''fenestras'' in the Aveyron and gives way to contemplation. Orientated towards the garden, the southern wall does not exceed three meters whilst on the the northern side of the site, the ‘'boxes’' overlook a pathway. THE STEEL REFLECTS PIERRE SOULAGES’ WORK The cladding is made of Corten steel also known as weathering steel. When exposed to bad weather (i.e. to corrosion), this material creates a protective layer of rust. ''The Corten steel ages with time and perfectly suits the park’s natural surroundings. It is not a lifeless and sanitized material. Furthermore, its colour-range echoes Rodez’s pink -rey colours.'' (RCR Arquitectes). The shades of this steel also reflect Pierre Soulages’ work. A UNIQUE PLACE The Soulages Museum is located in the heart of Rodez town, in Foirail Garden, a stone's thrown from the cathedral. Designed and conceived by Catalan RCR Arquitectes– Passelac & Roques Architects, the musem is spread on the north side of the entirely renovated Foirail garden. It fits its surroundings perfectly. Well-known for the attention they pay to the geographical location and surrounding scenery, Ramon Vilalta, Carme Pigem et Rafael Aranda immediately understood the value of that unique place. THE LIGHT The museum will take the fragility of the collections into account. Arranged in practical volumes around a monitored light, it will provide obscured and protected areas for papers (Walnut Stains, printed works), whereas the five high ''boxes'' will harbour the paintings and the cardboards of Conques' stained-glass windows under a zenithal light. 4 LEVELS Four levels. From top to 1st floor: -The storehouses (safety standard) -The documentary centre and a workshop for children - The permanent exhibitions' rooms with the works from Soulages' donations - The temporary exhibition room dedicated to contemporary artists http://musee-soulages.grand-rodez.com/museum-soulages/ All the information had taken by Musee Soulages which have about architectural information of museum, architects information and Benoît Decron’s essay who is the Chief Curator & Director of the Greater Rodez museums. Some photographs had taken by Musee Soulages and photographer Vincent Boutin. You may visit Pierre Soulages' information and paintings from my blog archive to click below link. http://mymagicalattic.blogspot.com.tr/2014/08/french-painter-pierre-soulages.html AN ‘’ UNUSUAL ‘’ MUSEUM Neither a mausoleum nor a monographic chore, the Soulages Museum will be a place for meetings and new experiences. While being a genuine modern and contemporary art museum, it will favour exchanges with similar institutions or foundations, with great freedom in its choices from promising to seasoned artists, through different themes and links from one historical era to another (the Middle Ages, for instance, whom Soulages holds dear). The museum fits into the European gathering of museums. The Soulages Museum will be ‘' unusual ‘ according to the painter's words,: '' It will highligt the process of artistic creation, the role of the unexpected that lies in it, and without using banal teaching methods, I hope it will open the eyes of the public and awake their spirit to understand what art stands for. '' Visitor services will particularly strive to explain the meaning of the artist's know-how and gestures. The audience will explore Pierre Soulages' works in the museum by following an itinerary that combines the painter's history– his biography–with other expressions of his creativity, such as oil paintings, paintings on paper, printed works or stained-glass windows. The bright rooms with high ceilings will alternate with the darkened rooms with low ceilings to tackle specific topics, including the very first figurative works Soulages made in Rodez, the inspiration he found in the Aveyron, the hanging of artworks, the Walnut Stains, the different techniques of engraving, or the works he did at Conques. Each aspect of the donation will be associated with its constituent technique. That is why Conques stained-glass windows are a link between monumental medieval heritage and contemporary creation, and act as a catharsis: they are the accurate portrait of the artist. In Conques abbey, Soulages thought of a new light. In Rodez, we must show clearly how we can approach that form of light thanks to experimental witnesses. From matter to thought, with tools and hands. Benoît Decron, Chief Curator & Director of the Greater Rodez museums http://musee-soulages.grand-rodez.com/museum-soulages RCR ARQUITECTES RAFAEL ARANDA, CARME PIGEM & RAMON VILALTA Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramon Vilalta, under the name of “RCR Arquitectes”, have been working together since 1988 in Olot, Catalonia.

Before joining forces, the first one completed a higher educational course in Canada, the second in Catalonia. Thanks to these diverse, mutual and complementary experiences, a strong and stable professional partnership grew naturally between the two architects. It led to the creation of the Passelac & Roques Architects agency in 2004 in Narbonne. The agency had the chance to work on diverse projects on different scales, which allowed it to gain knowledge in varied areas such as architecture, city planning, reorganisation, scenic design, furniture and so forth. They recently delivered the Soulages in Rodez and a wine cellar in Narbonne. http://musee-soulages.grand-rodez.com/museum-soulages/ SCENIC DESIGN - PHILIPPE MAFFRE Heritage architect–Museum design (MAW ARCHITECTE) Philippe Maffre has been a licensed architect since 1987.

Located in the heart of the rugged Texas Hill Country, the cool pristine waters of the “Blue Hole” have attracted local swimmers for decades. Threatened by development, the swimming hole and surrounding 126 acres were purchased in 2005 by the City of Wimberley to protect the beloved icon, which had nearly been “loved to death” by overuse, and to create a sustainable regional park. Informed by a stakeholder-led design process, the design team created a plan that protected and enhanced the site’s ecologically sensitive areas, despite the addition of 320,000 sf of new park development.
