En 1989, le projet d’un nouvel édifice pour accueillir la Bibliothèque Nationale de France prend forme. Cette Très Grande Bibliothèque se devait d’être un objet monumental et symbolique afin de permettre le développement du quartier de Tolbiac encore inexistant. Aujourd’hui, le rôle de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France est métamorphosé, d’une part pour sa fonction de bibliothèque physique à l’heure du digital, et d’autre part pour sa relation avec son environnement urbain, maintenant développé. C’est pourquoi j’ai choisi de réinvestir le sujet de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France afin d’en imaginer un projet contemporain, et ce, à travers le collage comme outil de conception. L’un des intérêts majeurs du projet de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France est de concevoir en même temps le monument et la ville qui l’entoure, l’un induisant l’autre, et réciproquement. Le projet n’est donc pas uniquement un projet architectural, mais autant infrastructurel et urbanistique. Il tente d’incarner la quintessence de l’édifice public et de redécouvrir l’idée du bâtiment en tant que condensateur de diversité sociale. Dans la continuité de mon énoncé théorique, foreplay, le projet propose une étude approfondie des seuils et séquences exigés par une telle bibliothèque, qui ne peut être qu’une institution plurielle, tout comme le fut le Mouseîon d’Alexandrie. Ainsi coexistent autour d’un vide monumental l’ostentatoire et la sérénité, la communication et la conservation, le public et l’intime ainsi que le fugitif et l’immuable.
Seventh art and eighteen rooms The cinema MK2 is a series of rooms that share form but not content.
Six-Feet Under A connection to the Metropolitain and RER.
Beyond the book area The mediathèque is a wide open space and a room. Reading the building as a spontaneous, popular and insurrectionary response to closed and controlled versions of what libraries used to be.
Neo-cluster The Research library is a refuge for reflection, meditation and contemplation in shared solitude.
Creative factory A series of studios and a fab lab reinvent the library as a creation space
Biblion-thékê literally, the bookcase, a gigantic and pragmatic socle as a database that contains the DarkArchives, a Cold storage, the museum storage, the forum’s stage, a public and a professional parking.
Bookless Social Club The Maker Space provides tools and space, where people gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build.
Forum The enclosed yet permeable public building offers a space for lectures, events, discussions, film screenings, performances, workshops, research, experiments, presentations, café, gatherings, restrooms, offices and so on.
Decomanus Maximus The Atrium Paradisus partakes of the Parisian’s void archipelago, the space mediates between the profane exterior and the sacred interior. This habitat
Cour d’honneur Following the Parisian typology of big voids anchored to the Seine River, the open space contributes to the city’s social fabric, stirring together the pseudointellectual bobo from the public library, the gadget nerd coming from the Fab Lab, and the hedonist bodybuilder back from the Paris Plage.
for the flâneur is a third place for Paris that, via a set of thresholds, brings together ostentatiousness and serenity, communication and preservation, the public and the intimate, and the fugitive and the immutable.

Musaeum A simple box receives the two globes of Coronelli and the Kirchner Museum receives the temporary exhibitions
Procrastination area The restaurant, widely open to the River Seine, provides a place to rest the soul and open the mind, as well as good food and beverage.
Both And The administration building expresses the traditional tension of libraries between communication and conservation
Civil basilica The public library is a very big room that offers opportunities to gather large crowds and can handle any evolution of the program. This space radiating volume is the very expression of a collective idea.
