The spatial organization revolves around the reactivation of a forgotten Ruin, Abbaye de Lys, transforming it into a festival stage, central anchor for the project. From this new circular hub, three axes extend towards the accesses, weaving a direct link between the city and the park. Suspended five meters above the ground, an aerial walkway structures the site while liberating forest during the temporary festival, creating two distinct experiential levels, slipping between the trees and adapting to the topography. This sense of suspension is heightened by a slender, lightweight canopy; supported by minimal structural points, it acts as a protective membrane that shelters without enclosing—filtering light and allowing wind and sound to circulate freely while framing views of the ruin and echoing the abbey’s verticality. The master plan follows a concentric model where adjacent pavillions are organized according to the dispersion of sound; as the intensity fades with distance, visitors are invited to lose themselves in the forest, only to be guided back to the core by the music. Ultimately, the project functions as an evolving framework, refusing to freeze the site in time and instead offering an adaptable, open environment ready for new forms of appropriation.
