DESCRIPTION
The buildings, designed in circles, offer a simple and soothing geometric shape, devoid of angles, while conveying a pure and monolithic message, suggesting contained strength. At every scale of the project, this circular language is used to reinforce this duality: quiet strength. On a larger scale, the training institute unfolds like a true work of landscape art, interacting with its environment. This concept echoes multiple artistic references, such as the works of Richard Long and Subodh Kerkar. In his Hoggar Circle, created in 1988 in the Sahara Desert, Richard Long traced a circular mark in the heart of a rocky valley, a pure form understandable to all. Placed in the middle of the landscape, it creates a link with the immensity of the desert and becomes a benchmark, a reference point for understanding the scale of the territory.
