In the south part of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, this community complex, and the entire block which is dedicated to sports activities, is located next to the river Seine. Conceived for the neighbourhood, the 'Centre d’animation Le Point du Jour' groups various activities: physical education, musical, visual arts, exhibition space and theatre. This building is supplemented by an external bowling pitch (4 grounds). Each element has its particular functional characteristics, they all work harmoniously with the others without bothering one another. The building has a frontage to each side. This architectural choice tends to attenuate the strong constraints of the context (very noisy, dense motor vehicle traffic) as well as it emphasizes the exceptional sights offered by the Seine. Each space is positioned in order to see the city without hearing it and plays with the transparencies and reflections which make urban environment an architectural material just as concrete, metal or glass
