Les Bains des Docks by my man Jeanie

Les Bains des Docks, Jean Nouvel, Le Havre, France

Les Bains des Docks is a public aquatic center, located on the docks of a wharf in an effort to regenerate the dockland area through community and tourist use. The center is a 5000 square meter white mass, that has been carved into to create apertures that frame the landscape and filters light depending on the desired atmosphere. It unites a diversity of cultures, due to its location on a port with an abundance of international traffic.
