We were thinking of changing the perception of the bridge as construction, which is perpendicular to the flow of the river. For this reason, we turned the pier to the pavilion diagonally and then modified the perception of the surroundings in which it is situated pavilion. In near sluice we see some symbolic. Sluice as civil engineering building its function changing the flow of the river and the jetty as a temporary building  its location changing usual surrounding context.

Then we asked ourselves. Why not use place for listening to music under the arch of the bridge? A place that has its history, architecturally interesting shape and is not ever approach during the year. We were thinking these are good reasons to also visit the place and see the silhouette of Albi which is the cathedral from a different point of view.

We were not designed the pavilion the place where we can listen the music, but also we designed a jetty, which is like a path of music and where we can listen a music before until we come on a pavilion which situated under the arc of bridge.

We wanted to design structure which connects three points perception of the surrounding area like the shore, the island and  an arc of bridge.
