The Gare du Sud was formerly a railway station, dismantled then rebuilt. The project resurrects the building into a space where food, shops, exhibition and entertainment interact within the historical architecture. The volumetry of the project is designed to underline the existing symmetrical space and its East-West orientation. The use of noble and tactile materials, such as marble, hand-crafted ceramics, gilded metal, wood and glass, enhances the sensory experience of the place and illustrates the articulation between the generous program and the existing structure.
