Transformation of the Winson castle into a town hall, cultural center and offices for the CPAS

About

The primary function of a castle is defence against outside threats. That of a public building is to be open to the citizens. The transformation of a castle into a community center thus consists in opening its surrounding walls and connecting its outside area to the public place. From a symbolic point of view, it is a question of returning to the community what belonged previously to one person or family. The insertion of a transverse pedestrian distribution in-site thus totally modifies the functioning logic: the entrance now turns to the city, and the discovery of the site zeroes in directly on the park.
