Parking Aéroport de Nice
The Nice Côte d'Azur airport has the distinction of being in town and along the mouth of the Var. This situation produces a powerful contrast between natural and artificial, between the preserved character of the river and the future of the built development and airport platform. This parking project aims to link these two worlds.Building material and color is reminiscent of the water fluidity in the Var.The reinforced glass and water vary together according the sunlight above,the wind, and the seasons. The dense volume abstractly masks other structures and reduces the heterogeneity of the landscape, giving it unity and calm. From the point of view of the traveler, slightly sloping translucent facades, both massive and light, give an oracular presence to the parking lot.The project is revealed gradually, in the sight of the car ramps, followed by a central opening that allows access inside the building. Exiting Terminal 2, the intertwining ramps depict the movement of automobiles while representing the mineral character and dynamics of this part of the site.
