CH\u00c2LONS-EN-CHAMPAGNE CITY HALL<\/h2>\n

The City Hall building was constructed between 1772 and 1776 on the site of a former 16th-century hospital, as part of the Champagne-city's beautification project at the time to create a genuine provincial capital. The king took on the construction, and the city provided the materials.<\/p>\n

Designed by architect Jean-Nicolas Louis Durand, the building's facade is divided into three sections: a front section with six Ionic columns, a pediment, and two wings \u2013 all in the classical French style. The pediment is decorated with an allegory of the city. A woman adorned with a crown of turrets is surrounded by putti, which symbolize the treasures of the region: the grapes for the vineyards, and the wheat for agriculture. On the steps, Antoine L\u00e9pine sculpted four lions in 1778.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Non-compliance with current safety and equal-access regulations did not allow for collective and indiscriminate use of the building. In 2009, the city of Ch\u00e2lons-en-Champagne decided to bring its City Hall up to standard so as to optimally accommodate all audiences.<\/p>\n

We chose to create a new circulation core in the courtyard of the building. This contemporary extension takes the form of a glass monolith, the transparency of which allows for a view of the new staircase, which winds around a second structural volume clad in brass, itself enclosing the elevator.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Extensions and restorations make it possible to enhance old buildings by offering them the means to accommodate all audiences.<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This proposal made it possible to resolve a large part of the accessibility and safety issues without having to carry out a major interior restructuring, which would have resulted in demolitions damages to the building.<\/p>\n

The stone plinth, the glass facades reflecting those of the building, and the cladding of the structural brass core provide a subtle contemporary touch that, through its materials and colors, blends into its host site. This has inscribed the building into its current time period.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
