Le Voyeur

AN INVERTED WATCH TOWER THAT PLAYS WITH SEEING AND BEING SEEN

Le Voyeur is an interactive pavilion in the Parc des Îles, on a site of the former biggest coal mining factory of Europe. The pavilion works like an inverted watchtower, and invites you to observe the transformed landscape in a different way.

Lying in the pavilion, people can observe an overview on the landscape from a low point. Through a large mirror, the artificial lakes and the former slag heaps of the Parc des Îles can be experienced from a bird's eye perspective.
