[.en] At the western end of the Les Halles district of Paris, ‘the Bourse de Commerce’ has existed quietly through the tumultuous centuries of the historical city. A project to transform this historic building into a contemporary art museum has finally reached completion. It was opened at last, COVID-19 pandemic permitting.

The project involved a challenging construction of erecting a cylinder space finished with raw concrete inside the central rotunda. Boldly inserting a new space into an old structure, creating a dialogue between the new and the old , and breathing new life into the space; the concept is the extension of that of ‘the Punta della Dogana’ in Venice.

The client for both projects, from Venice to Paris, is François Pinault. In fact, my first project with Mr. Pinault was ‘the François Pinault Foundation for Contemporary Art’ on the Île Seguin in Paris in the early 2000s. It was discontinued for various reasons, which in turn led to a series of projects in Venice, and then a second challenge back in Paris.

Under unique site conditions on Île Seguin, we focused our energy on the theme of inheritance of urban memory. The results of this exploration have been transformed and utilized in the current project. What is more, the starting point of the series of conversion projects with was ‘the Nakanoshima Project IT (Urban Egg )’, which was conceived in the 1980s. lt was a project to revitalize a public hall in my hometown Osaka, which I created without being commissioned by anyone. Because it was an independent proposal, I put a lot of effort into the drawings and poured my energy into the model. In the end, the city authorities did not cake me seriously, and I ended up simply adding it to my list of unbuilt projects, but I had always carried the ideas that I discovered there close to my heat. Thus, the central court at ‘the Punta della Dogana’ was the fruit of two decades of work, and the cylinder space at ‘the Bourse de Commerce’ was the new challenge I took on after three decades.

Every architecture is created under different conditions, from the surrounding environment to the program, or the client's personality. By making the most of these differences, we create a place that can only be created there. In every job, a different architectural story is born. [...]
