The Warehouses
Rehabilitation of the Warehouses, or Naves
The Naves are large restored industrial warehouses creating a covered space of over 10,000 sq. m in continuity with the outdoor public spaces.
They are designed to host various ongoing programs and temporary events in independent spaces installed under the covered structure. In the summer of 2007, the Machine Workshop and the Machine Gallery were set up on either side of a central street running north-south where the Great Elephant walks.
La Fabrique will be built adjacent to the south-eastern part of the Naves.
