At ground level, its transparency expresses the vitality of its purpose – the complex is dedicated entirely to music. Place des Nations announces the entrance and the grand foyer extends along the entire length, bordering the park and mirroring its topography. A bright, open path runs alongside concert rooms in decreasing size, from the philharmonic hall to the black box. The administrative offices of various organisations (OSR, HEM and CMG) are located on Route de Ferney, where HEM also has teaching rooms that enjoy views of the park. Higher levels are connected by ramps, creating a true cultural centre, open to all audiences and all generations, that is creative, romantic and excites the imagination.
