As part of the “Constellation” program, developed during the renovation of the Centre Pompidou, Studio 13/16 is relocating to the Gaîté Lyrique. Dedicated to young people aged 13 to 25, the space offers a laboratory for artistic and social creation and reflection, conceived in collaboration with contemporary artists. Its multidisciplinary program, renewed several times a year, calls for a space capable of transforming itself according to uses and practices.
Conceived as a tool for spatial experimentation, the project prioritizes mobility, modularity and the capacity for permanent reconfiguration.

The Studio 13/16 project at the Gaîté Lyrique thus extends the principles developed by designer Mathieu Lehanneur for the original Centre Pompidou space, retaining certain structural elements: an adaptable technical infrastructure and mobile seating modules, while reinterpreting them to meet the specific constraints of the Gaîté Lyrique.

Roll imagined four pivoting scenic bridges, loosely inspired by agricultural irrigation systems. Powered and precisely orientable, they adapt to the various configurations of the program and distribute the necessary equipment overhead: lighting, speakers, curtains and display panels. They also incorporate a modular lighting system allowing the atmosphere of the room to be tailored to each use. These bridges are complemented by a set of mobile functional elements.

The color palette of the new Studio 13/16 asserts its affinity with that of the Centre Pompidou: bold, pop colors, each assigned to a specific function. The large banquette is blue, the changing booth yellow, the bleachers red, and the pivot structures green, while the structural elements are made of raw poplar plywood.
