L'ARSENAL - Toul, France - Concert Halls on Waymarking.com

We knew the fortifications of the Episcopal city(estate), calling back(reminding) its military past. In homage to this past, this new place of show(entertainment) keeps(preserves) the name ARSENAL, but joins in the future of a city which is a surprise every day by its desire(envy) to forge ahead. To go to the show(entertainment) to Toul, during 40 years, it was the room Valcourt. " A building(ship) which accuses the weight of the years and does not correspond any more to the requirements of today, explains Alde Harmand, mayor of Toul. To put back(hand) her(it) to the standards safety(security) and of feature would not have been a good operation. Better was worth envisaging a new project.
"The idea of a new room is thrown. The call for projects will be made under the form of a national competition. About ten projects is in competition, and it is a regional one, the Malot cabinet from Nancy, which takes him. To his/her credit, the space Chaudeau de Ludres, one of the main places of show in is. The room of the Arsenal of Toul is inspired by it and adds to it of the carmine red on facades, the modernity, some aestheticism. A big terrace of 800m2 aerates a building in the wide glazed surfaces. Modularity regarding shows, the number of available places is often the major argument of a programming. With 1100 seats and standing 2500, the Arsenal proposes an unpublished capacity until then in the big is. By comparison, it is more tall than Chaudeau and his 900 places, while keeping a possible intimacy thanks to the terraces of 740 retractable places. A room allowing to welcome 600 flatware also allows to vary the activities.Accessible on foot since the city center, the rare thing, the Arsenal open even more to Toulois a new district which renovates since 2006. New housing, businesses, medical house, bicycle paths near the port of Toul, a cultural lighthouse was missing in the district only. "The district forms the new hyphen between the high city and the low city. For us, it is a new city heart explains Alde Harmand. The inauguration on October 11th, 2013 by Aurélie Filippetti, Minister of Culture and Communication should be as high as the ambitions of the city. We already evoke an eclectic programming and tops of the bill. " This room which comes to complete the cultural offer of the big region, also addresses his(her) close neighbors, as an economic and cultural tool to the service(department) in particular of the associations " concludes Alde Harmand. Three blows struck on the boards of a new scene of Lorraine: the event is rare enough so that we are delighted at it. When the architectural success gives in more a real boost to the city, we already applaud. Room of the Arsenal, 15 Avenue of Colonel Péchot TOUL
