Lille Modern Art Museum | Manuelle Gautrand Architecture
Designed by Manuelle Gautrand Architecture, The project concerns the refurbishment and the extension of the Lille Modern Art Museum in a magnificent park at Villeneuve d?Ascq. The existing building, designed by Roland Simounet in 1983, is already on the Historic monuments list.
The project aims at building up the museum as a continuous and fluid entity, this by adding new galleries dedicated to a collection of Art Brut works, from a traveling movement that extrapolates existing spaces. A complete refurbishment of the existing building was next required, some parts were very worn.

In spite of the heritage monument status of Simounet?s construction, rather than set up at a distance, we immediately opted to seek contact by which the extension would embrace the existing buildings in a supporting movement. I tried to take my cue from Roland Simounet?s architecture, ?to learn to understand?, so as to be able to develop a project that does not mark aloofness, an attitude that might have been seen as indifference.
The architecture of the extension wraps around the north and east sides of the existing arrangement in a fan-splay of long, fluid and organic volumes. On one side, the fan ribs stretch in close folds to shelter a café-restaurant that opens to the central patio; on the other, the ribs are more widely spaced to form the five galleries for the Art Brut collection.

The Art brut galleries maintain a strong link...
