barreau + charbonnet: metronome

Territorial view

Reminiscent of a musical metronome but on a territorial scale, this structure offers a sight-seeing trip connecting rural areas with the town centre of Rennes. It uses the physical forces of oscillation and attraction and requires no external energy. In the urban landscape, the Metronome is a needle setting the pace of the town’s activity and intense traffic, it becomes an escape outlet, a dream-maker. It can be developed on different scales and set up in strategic positions to cross a ring-road or river. It becomes a unique public transport system, essential for our future towns and a territorial symbol.
