Project description Lille Museum of Modern Art (pdf, 1.21 MB)

Rolland Simounet built the Lille Museum of Modern Art near Parc du Héron in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France in 1983. Architect Manuelle Gautrand recently renovated and expanded the existing building.

Ductal® Archistructure solution facilitated the production of large thin panels and random openings that would have been impossible to fabricate with reinforced concrete. The mineral texture of Ductal® also facilitated the harmonization of the museum extension with the concrete shell and the Parc du Héron heritage site. Its new façade is made up of perforated panels 5.5 m wide, 3 m to 8 m high and 7 to 9 cm thick covering 185 m².
