Addition
This is the addition that was added to the back of the Alliance Francaise building that I showed you yesterday. Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, it was finished last summer and the bottom floor contains a theatre while the upper floors provide more classrooms for the centre. I took this pic in the fall when we still had leaves and green grass!

I really like this place.
Not sure on that, looks like some of the ones round Oxford
Lots of light can get through those windows, a very good thing.
Good news - trees are beginning to leaf out (well, a few varieties are).
pretty neat looking add-on! very modern.
I like the modern look to it and yet is seems to fit.
Well that was a little unexpected Pat :) Quite a different style to the original house.
I like its style.
This is a really neat design, and what a lovely fall day it was. It's a very pretty view.
It all fits together very nicely!
Even better than the original!
They left the facade historic, but added this interesting bit around back, eh? I like it, P!

Nice contemporary look.
interesting addition
Nice that they added wood!
What a contrast!
Makes sense now. A theater added.
I love Modern design.
Leaves and green grass will be back soon. I wish we had a whole building for Alliance Française where I live.

It is a visually pleasing building.
It looks great! A nice mix of modern and traditional.
I like all the glass! Tom The Backroads Traveller
Very interesting - and you've got one of my favourite things in the shot as well - a fire hydrant (so different from ours!).
I will post a picture of our Institut Francais at some point so that we can contrast and compare.
I didn't think I was going to like the modern addition, but this one is somewhere between OK and good. I haven't made my mind up about precisely where on that spectrum I land.
