SORT RECYCLING CENTER

Finding its origins in political will of sustainability, the French National Museum of Natural History firstly established a study of its own trash in order to improve environmental efficiency. This gathering of resources has provoked the birth of a glade, a sensible clearing of the garden near the Ménagerie. The enclosure is mainly planted, sowed with chosen plants that match with the nearby animals. An ornamental wrought-iron work just slips into it to ensure privacy. The ground is modelled to match its working: bound, contain, lift, hide. An earth movement. Concrete surfaces claim their mineral nature thanks to a fine work on its components: sanding, marking, addition, pigmentation. An architectured clearing, a telluric work.
