Architectural folly by the Bouroullecs lights up the Rennes riverfront
Designed for the French city’s waterfront, Le Belvédère is the latest example of Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec’s extensive experimentation on them theme of urban landscaping, featuring their distinctive aesthetic simplicity in a new experiential form
A new urban design for the Rennes waterfront, the Bouroullec’s Belvédère is located along the Quai Saint Cyr. ‘We spent a lot of time walking around the city to identify the right position, the right site,’ says designer Ronan Bouroullec. The folly is strategically placed to offer a particular view of the Cathedral, the old town, and of the modern and contemporary buildings of Rennes, including Louis Arretche’s Mabilais, Georges Maillols’ Horizons, and projects by Jean Nouvel and Christian Hauvette.
