[edit] In the words of the Creator
"The competition to extend and renovate the Opera House in Lyon, the second largest city in France, was won by Nouvel in 1986 with a project that used the old building, particularly its grand ground- and first-floor façades on the south, east, and west, as a point of departure and reference for the new. The brief called for providing a larger auditorium, a second 200-seat amphitheater (which Nouvel placed in the three new basement levels) and public spaces, including a restaurant, new rehearsal facilities, and a fly tower. By retaining the older façades, Nouvel linked the building to the surrounding official buildings, such as the adjacent nineteenth century Hotel de Ville, the town hall and mayor's office for the city, and the nearby city museum, housed in the nineteenth-century Palais de Saint Pierre." - Ateliers Jean Nouvel
