Description
The Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection bears witness to five centuries of architectural history in Paris. The circular building was originally used as a market hall, later as a stock exchange. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, the building has been rented for 50 years from the City of Paris to the collector François Pinault. From 2016 to 2021, the building was completely renovated by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando,along with French architecture agency NeM / Niney et Marca, but also Chief Heritage Architect Pierre-Antoine Gatier, and transformed into an art museum for Pinault’s collection.
The CONTRAFLAM® STRUCTURE from Vetrotech used for the partitions sets new technical and visual standards in transparent fire protection. The patented flush-mount glazing achieves fire resistance classes from EW30 to EI120 without vertical frame profiles, while at the same time providing maximum transparency and colour neutrality. The butt-joint fire-rated glass partitions of the auditorium have exceptional dimensions of 2.3 m width per pane and meet highest requirements regarding sound insulation.
