Labfac: Théâtre de Cornouaille, Quimper

The lack of any important limitations enabled the architects to concentrate completely on the nature and ideal qualities of the project; at the center of their research they placed function, and the design of the essential spaces was guided by rationality of execution.

The solution adopted for the exterior seems to stress the function of the building, showing the equipment used to prepare the scenery visible on the inside and giving the impression of being backstage.

Evocative of the secrets and fascinating mechanisms of show business, the Théâtre de Cornouaille opens to the city with a naturalness that makes it all the more authentic.
