Project
Following an architectural bid, the former Carouge theatre was to be demolished. For the ensuing construction phase, a temporary solution had to be found. This is how the opportunity arose to develop the project of an ephemeral structure, called “La Cuisine”, on a site left bare in the centre of the Praille-Acacias-Vernets perimeter. The structure will be dismantled and resold after two seasons of shows on the temporary site.
