Photographer Patrick Miara has sent us his photographs of this art centre in Les Herbiers by French architects Forma 6.
Called Tour des Artes, the building houses music and dance schools.
The facade is clad in golden copper-aluminium alloy panels.
Here’s some more information from the architects (in French):
L’école de musique est le 1er bâtiment d’un nouveau quartier, entre centre-ville et faubourg, en bordure d’un espace urbain majeur en devenir : la Place des Droit de l’Homme.
C’est dans l’alignement du futur mail des Droits de l’Homme que s’implante strictement le hall et la salle de diffusion, éléments majeurs de l’édifice. Cette entrée cadrée et géométriquement dessinée semble alors être le prolongement du mail où la frontière ténue entre extérieur et intérieur est volontairement gommée afin d’affirmer la continuité spatiale et l’ouverture sur la ville de l’Ecole de Musique.
La tour, en ponctuation d’angle, passe du statut de rotule à la fonction symbolique de signal urbain, sorte de campanile culturel, façon de la réintégrer à l’espace urbain majeur.
VOLUMETRIE :
La géométrie complexe de la parcelle et les volumétries variées des différents éléments du programme déterminent l’école autour du volume orthogonal du hall et de la salle de diffusion.
Le volume créé, gradué, protecteur et dynamique, s’enroule autour de la grande salle en gagnant progressivement de la hauteur pour finir par s’élancer dans la tour.
Celle-ci devient le troisième signal vertical de la ville et entre en résonnance visuelle avec les deux églises, créant une sorte de triumvirat culturo-cultuel.
Sa volumétrie sculpturale a été pensée comme une métaphore contemporaine du clocher tant par sa forme que par sa matière minérale, le TECU Gold choisi pour sa couleur dorée, évocatrice de la pierre des Herbiers, pour ses qualités physiques s’adaptant à la volumétrie complexe et pour ses capacités à être utilisé en façade et en toiture.
Le rythme aléatoire du calepinage fait vibrer la peau comme la musique fait vibrer le bâtiment.
Alors que ce ruban protecteur semble massif, des extractions de matières, fidèle au concept de masse sculptée et nécessaires à l’accès et/ou à l’éclairage, sont pratiquées.
Elles sont alors systématiquement repérées d’un rouge “rideau de scène”, utilisé aussi sous la coque de la salle de diffusion dont la volumétrie aérienne autorise l’implantation du hall et dont la couleur permet le repérage depuis la place.
L’éclairage naturel des salles est assuré par des châssis verticaux rythmés sur le calepinage et affleurant la peau extérieure, façon de renforcer les grandes lignes du bâtiment ainsi que la couleur et l’ombre portée des creux.
La densité des châssis est fonction des pièces qu’ils éclairent, leur verticalité permet d’ouvrir les espaces sur la ville, sans créer d’effets vitrines mais dans un jeu de cadrages cinétiques et graphiques.
Le parti pris d’enroulement graduel nécessite une attention particulière à la cinquième façade, visible des alentours.
L’ensemble des façades est donc traité avec le même matériau, le TECU Gold, donnant au volume une multi-orientation venant renforcer l’idée d’un équipement en rotule entre la ville et le bourg.

As a one-stop furnishings marketplace, H.D. Buttercup's enormous Culver City showroom filled with furnishings, art, rugs, bedding and accessories leaves most interiors junkies wanting for little. Last Friday saw the launch of the one thing the complex might be missing with a new 3,700 square-foot section bringing together the indie fashion of Apartment 3 and designers from the gift fair Unique LA. We checked in with Sonja Rasula, who founded Unique in 2008, and Kristin Knauff of Apartment 3 while they were setting up their H.D. Buttercup digs.
Originally founded in 2003 as a boutique on La Brea, Apartment 3 has developed into a full-service fashion production company. Unique LA, one of the biggest shows for independent crafts in the country, features wares made by area designers and encourages the consumption of local products. Together at H.D. Buttercup, the two brands have created a forum to shop for children's and baby products, clothing, art, accessories, edibles, gifts and more.
In store, Rasula is proud to offer designs by Sub_urban riot, Chemline, 28 Squares, Eva Franco, sugarhigh + Lovestoned , Detroit Sprinkles, Maiden Voyage, Misha Lulu, Rock Socks and others. We spotted the hand-woven scarves by Loomlab that interpret Braille, computer circuits, and QR coding into the pattern and color palette. The Original Record Wallets fashion leather and nylon into billfolds sporting images of Prince, The Clash or astronauts.
Apartment 3 collections span denim, bowties, vintage clothing and footwear, including exclusive pieces from Smoke & Mirrors that hang on one of the industrial metal racks. Both companies plan to showcase many of their favorite designers in a carefully-curated collection of merchandise.

 | When one anticipates a Viktor & Rolf show, it's expected that their will be outrageous pieces, crazy silhouettes and unexpected details that will challenge you ideas on conventional fashion, or at the very least, make you sit up and take notice. Their latest S/S 2011 runway collection was no exception, with pieces seemingly inspired by Alice in Wonderland on even more hallucinogens and in the midst of a huge Mad-Hatter hosted wedding reception. Vertical striped of bold blue and shiny red, oversized shoulders, exaggerated asymmetry and multiple, enlarged cuffs and other whimsical details made the collection truly unique and gave it a healthy dose of fun, which is signature for Viktor & Rolf. But once you get past the humor and eccentricities, it's obvious that these garments are full of intricate details and true skill and talent in the construction. Personal loves were the shirt dresses in varying styles and the frothy use of fabric and ruching. Satin fabrics were made into crazy wedding-style gowns that looked appropriate for the weddings of the likes of Rihanna or Lady Gaga, especially the finale piece. Viktor & Rolf S/S 2011 collection is one piece of art after another and while many of the ensembles seemed too outrageous for everday wear, many of the pieces, when separated, are completely wearable for the fashion conscious!
