The Cité du Design is a new international institution for communication, dissemination, research and training for design. Its most experimental element is the so called Platine, a large 200×32 m single space that articulates the different buildings and activities of the Cité du Design.

The Platine is an interclimatic laboratory whose adaptable skin encloses several programs and responds to their needs in terms of light and climate.

Design: Foster + Partners
