Design Challenge:
For its “PARIS2009” Competition, ARQUITECTUM proposes a reinterpretation of “the new Moulin Rouge”, the most famous cabaret in the world and a symbol of what is an important aspect of Parisian life.

In a quest for the perfect show, ARQUITECTUM proposes the design of a new space incorporating the latest tendencies for the dance school and all its installations.

The new building should reflect the history of the site, while bearing in mind that many visitors will come wanting to be surprised. It will have to be connected with the area that is currently used for the main shows and as a restaurant. It will include a basic program occupying a constructed area of no greater than 3,000 sq. m. and will include a dance school, bookstore, amphitheater, museum and administration space.

Submission Requirements:
Participants should include their proposal, which should consist of 1 digital image that can be viewed easily within the horizontal format of a computer screen. Inclusion of the following information is also recommended: main concept of the project, plans, sections, sketches or perspectives.
