As a first strategy, the Kuehn Malvezzi + CCHE Genève team proposes the incorporation of a single entrance on Vieux-Grenadiers Street for the BAC's renovation, allowing for better coexistence between the three institutions it houses.
While carefully preserving the building's industrial character, a second consideration was to eliminate the interventions that have accumulated in the exhibition areas over time to generate larger, more continuous, and brighter spaces.
Additionally, in line with contemporary comfort conditions, the project proposes improving the heritage structure's energy and climate standards.
As an extension, a new pavilion will be located on the roof to accommodate different types of events both indoors and outdoors.
The new open and permeable image of the Bâtiment d'art contemporain (BAC) reinforces the idea of a meeting place and common center for all, while preserving the essential features of the heritage building.
