Bureau Architecture Méditerranée

Marseille, France, 2026-11-13 -  The rehabilitation and extension program of the MAC in Marseille aims to redefine the museography and the design of the energy and climatic systems allowing a good conservation of the pieces.

The re-qualification of the reception hall and the large gallery allows the renewal of the image of the institution and allows new functionalities with the development of the rooftop.

The control of sunlight from the windows, the filtration of natural light, and a new conception of artificial lighting are also among the challenges of the project.

Our proposal aims to use simple techniques and robust materials to ensure the longevity of the building.

The energy renovation of the building and the control of the sunlight from the windows allow us to completely redesign the museography, with a focus on natural and artificial light.

The scenario is based on the contrasts and the highlighting of the works of art by subdued light or, on the contrary, very contrasted light, which will create an intimate or direct relationship between the visitor and the pieces.
