MUSEE DES CONFLUENCES | COOP HIMMELB(L)AU Lyon, France CRYSTAL CLOUD OF KNOWLEDGE The future society will be a society of knowledge. However this knowledge can hardly be split into clearly defined fields. Innovations develop within interspaces, within indistinctness, within the overlapping and hybridising. Questions regarding the future will be decided within transitional fields situated between technology, biology and ethics that are the central themes of the Musée des Confluences. The resulting architecture is characterised by the interactions, the fusion and mutation of different entities constituting a new shape. Stimulating a direct and active use, it is not only a museum site but also a venue in town. The architecture hybridises the typology of a museum with the typology of an urban leisure space.
