The 5,000-seat Narbonne Arena is the first in a series of public facilities marking the eastern entrance to the city. The building acts as a beacon at the entrance to the city, projecting itself onto the public space it overlooks.

The attention paid to the geometry and structure of the large aluminium shell enhances the plaza and the entrance to the city. The complex surface is divided into flat folded modules precisely arranged according to their size and inclination.
