The town of Chasseneuil-du-Poitou wished to build a unusual hall for festivities and cultural events in a redevelopment area centred around the railway station. Designs for the unusual Hall had to respect the Technological Risks Prevention arrangement implemented in the area. The building designed by King Kong was therefore positioned at a tangent to the outer perimeter demarcating this zone,oriented so as to limit noise pollution for those living in housing to the south of the plot. The Hall serves as a shield for the residential neighbourhoods beyond it, while to the north it provides open access to a landscaped area designed in close connection with the specific function of the building itself.
