设计亮点：该项目对既有建筑的改造与扩建极具巧思。保留原有结构主体，通过增加中间夹层和顶层空间，巧妙地满足了现代功能需求。“牛角面包”造型独特，与新建的“船头圆柱”部分相得益彰，为城市中心增添了独特的建筑景观。同时，对自然通风和采光的巧妙运用，使建筑在满足功能性的同时，与周边环境更加融合，为使用者带来舒适的体验。

文化传承与创新：在尊重文化遗产的基础上进行改造，将现有艺术品融入其中，体现了对历史文化的传承。同时，引入先进的设计理念和技术，如自然通风、采光调节装置以及环保认证追求，展现了创新精神。这种传承与创新的结合，为城市文化中心的发展提供了优秀范例，既保留了历史记忆，又满足了当代人的需求，为文化活动的开展提供了优质场所。

功能性与可持续性：项目充分考虑了各种关键因素，包括消防、无障碍通行以及对环境的尊重。450 座主剧院的屋顶采光设计，既满足了排烟和自然采光需求，又可用于自然通风，体现了功能性与可持续性的完美结合。此外，通过垂直百叶和水平百叶调节自然光照度，以及为剧院舞台设置采光井，进一步提升了建筑的功能性和节能性，符合现代建筑的发展趋势。

该建筑-这座文化中心位于纳穆尔市中心，桑布尔河北岸，面向被称为“Le Grognon”的城镇历史中心。该建筑由Victor Bourgeois设计，建于20世纪60年代初，需要翻修和扩建，以满足当地人的当前需求，并适应Bouchers街和Sambre河岸的重建。该建筑曾经由一个400个座位的剧院组成，位于四层矩形箱形空间的一端，朝南的幕墙（俯瞰桑布尔河）建在五层弯曲的矩形箱形空间上，被称为“牛角面包”，它有一个朝东的幕墙和一个朝南的没有开口的端墙。
The building - This cultural center sits in the center of Namur, on the north bank of the Sambre River, facing the historic center of the town known as "Le Grognon". Designed by Victor Bourgeois and built at the start of the 1960s, the building required renovation and extension to meet the current requirements of local people and to accommodate the redevelopment of the rue des Bouchers and the banks of the Sambre River. The building used to consist of a 400-seater theatre at one end of a rectangular box-shaped space on four levels with a south-facing curtain wall (looking over the Sambre River) built up against a curved rectangular box-shaped space on five levels, known as the "croissant", which has an east-facing curtain wall and a south-facing end wall which has no openings.

Plan - 6th Floor

The project shall preserve the existing construction (with the exception of the small buildings annexed to the backstage area and at the site's northwest corner). One intermediate mezzanine was added into the foyer of the 450-seater main theatre, as well as an additional level on top of the "croissant" (level 4), with extensions to accommodate the functionality required.These additions shall include, to the east of the building in front of the "croissant", the "prow cylinder" comprising the reception porch, and significant extensions to the northeast of the building.

Natural ventilation and acoustics - Although the reliance on natural ventilation and lighting is perfectly possible in a favorable urban environment, the environmental conditions within towns (odors, noise, dust, dirt on floors and walls, overheating, shading) have gradually and very visibly deteriorated. Buildings have increasingly been constructed so to protect them from this hostile environment, becoming "boxes" sealed off from these physical attacks and, as a result, closed off from their surroundings. The center of Namur, which is well-ventilated due to its topography and rivers, is fortunate in that it does not suffer from these disadvantages. It is thus possible to return to more sensible practices and to open up the building to its environment. Since they are sheltered from sources of noise, the main 450-seater theatre roof lights, necessary for both smoke exhaust and natural daylight, can also be used for natural ventilation, along with opening windows.

Section

Natural lighting - Louvres fitted vertically on east, and horizontal blinds on other orientations, are used to adjust the degree of natural illumination through the facades, and to provide shading. Light wells shall provide natural illumination for the stages in the three theatres.

Performance levels - Some of the key considerations in this study have been: respect for the cultural heritage, the integration of existing artworks, fire safety, problem-free disabled access (Access-i certification), and respect for the environment (BREEAM certification in progress).
