Located at the western entrance to Alençon, this landscaping project initiates the redevelopment of the town’s gateway and provides the new Exhibition Centre and the « Luciole » concert hall with a functional, modern forecourt.

The treatment of the ground surface establishes a dialogue and a sense of coherence with the architecture of these two facilities. Three types of bituminous surfacing form the palette for a geometric composition, structured by white concrete lines. This combination of durable, cost-effective materials lends an appealing character to this new « cultural hub »—a vibrant space for the residents of Alençon. Using the same graphic vocabulary, raised, grass-covered ground facets showcase the buildings and mark access points; LED lines trace the ground facets, while vertical masts provide a welcoming glow for visitors. Additionally, light strips and floodlights dynamically illuminate the facades of the two landmark buildings, giving the forecourt a distinctive identity at night.
