Cité du Cinéma - Luc Besson

In the Cité du Cinéma, an original pixellated effect adorns the façade, created using bricks of various sizes. This play of relief and light introduces a unique dynamic to the building, in keeping with the industrial spirit of glass, steel, concrete and plaster. Located on the site of a former power plant, the Cité was looking for a material capable of uniting these disparate elements. The choice of Rairies terracotta, with its multi-dimensional bricks, creates a subtle contrast with the large glass openings, while playing with shadows and dynamic vibrations. This careful layout generates pixellated effects, giving the façade a fascinating relief and striking originality, perfectly in tune with the culture of the site.
