Rungis Cité de la Gastronomie

A different and unique vision of Paris. A ludic and festive, a true laboratory for cultural practices.

The complex program of the Cité de la Gastronomie has been rationalized through a spatial device that functions as a meeting spot. Instead of separating each function the strategy was to find the common aspects, creating synergies.

The mirrored cupola is the main piece, brining light to the interior and creating a moment of surprise for the visitors. Temporary exhibitions can engage with this space, creating new interpretations everytime.
