National Choreographic Centre, Centre chorégraphique nationale Aix-en-Provence, France Rudy Ricciotti Rudy Ricciotti architecte European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture Mies van der Rohe Award 2007 The new National Choreagraphic Centre is located on a sloping and rather constricted site outside of Aix-en-Provence’s historical centre in an area undergoing urban regeneration. The 3000 m² building accomodates the dance company of Angelin Preljocaj and consists of office areas and four dance studios along with a theatre with capacity for some 400 persons. Designed in accordance with seismic regulations, the programmatic need for open floors completely free of columns required the shift of the structural load to the facade. Known as the ‘Black Pavilion’ for the predominant use of this colour on both the interior and the exterior, the facade is characterised by massive structural members in black concrete that criss cross asymmetrically over the surface allowing natural light into the glazed volume underneath. 1980 Office of Rudy Ricciotti Architecte established in Bandol, France http://www.rudyricciotti.com Rudy Ricciotti 1952 Born in Algiers, Algeria 1975 Diploma in Architecture, École d’Ingeneurs de Genève 1980 Diploma in Architecture, École Superieure d’Architecture, Marseille 1995 Professor, École des Beaux Arts de Marseille 1997-98 Visiting Professor, École Spéciale d’Architecture de Paris Major Works 1994 Concert and Sports Stadium, Vitrolles, France 1996 Secondary School, Saint Quen, France 2000 Nickolaïsal Philharmonic Hall, Potsdam, Germany 2003 Footbridge of Peace, Seoul, South Korea 2006 University Paris VII : Rehabilitation of ‘Les Grands Moulins’ 12
