The contemporary circus is the demonstration of an historical synthesis and at the same time of a technological engagement. The superposition of programs and potentials improves the great entertainment but also maintains a collective memory of the classical typology.

CIRCUS ³ is conceived around three main design actions:
1 Free the ground and let the landscape grow
2 Raise an horizontal scenographic and flexible platform framing the main room
3 Display the roof as a metaphor of the circus, a place for all activities.

The result is an urban motivation
The circus is a purely scenographic object offered to the future show creators while totally opened towards the public space. It is a transparent infrastructure providing a place of interaction for new users.

We have sought to compose a space for performance as a real production tool adapted to different forms, size, show and events configurations. The place is the show, is show, make the show, make the place. Source by Clément Blanchet Architecture.
