Architecture: Centre Socioculturel


Centre Socioculturel À Mulhouse by Paul le Quernec Architectes

I love this building.  It looks like something out of a nineties video game, like Golden Eye.  The story is that the architects of the Mulhouse had extremely little space in which to work.  The building site was surrounded on all sides by apartments, none of which wanted their view blocked, so the French architectural firm went with a design based on triangular geometries for the community hall.  Personally, if I ever find myself directing a comic book film, this is going to be the villains' completely awesome if somewhat obvious lair.
