Kengo Kuma to add contemporary entrance to gothic cathedral in Angers
Japanese studio Kengo Kuma and Associates has unveiled plans for a contemporary entrance gallery to protect the sculptural doorway at Angers Cathedral, France.
The studio's addition to the cathedral will consist of a rectangular stone extension with five archivolts, creating an open gallery through which the multicoloured doorway sculptures will be partially visible.
Kengo Kuma has designed a new entrance to Angers Cathedral
Angers Cathedral was built in the Angevin gothic style in the 12th to 13th centuries on the base of an earlier Romanesque cathedral. Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA) aimed to create "a harmonious dialogue" between the contemporary design and this Middle Age architectural heritage.
"We wanted to put ourselves in the shoes of the builders of the Middle Ages and to create a regulatory framework, using compasses, thus generating the proportions which lead to unity," the studio said.
