A meeting between modernist architecture and the Lorraine horizon, an old aerodrome club house listed as a historical monument, designed by Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé. As one approaches the aerodrome, at the heart of a 3,000 m² grassy plot, a building conceived by Le Corbusier in the 1950s comes into view. Formerly the club house of the aerodrome where it was built, it stands out from the traditional buildings in the region due to its façades, which blend a light-colored plaster masonry with large glazed joinery, highlighted by a bright red frame. Natural light floods the interior spaces, revealing the architectural lines and opening views onto clear perspectives of 180°. The building was co-signed by Le Corbusier – a major architect and urban planner of the modernist movement, whose work is based on a search for just proportions and clarity of volumes – and the Lorraine designer-blacksmith Jean Prouvé. The latter was noted for his work combining steel and aluminum with particular precision in assembly, which lends an elegant functionality to the construction in question. The roof, made up of prefabricated aluminum elements, consists of two shells back to back, resting on a central gutter; a silhouette that evokes two airplane wings ready to take off, giving the whole structure an architectural identity where technical precision engages with aeronautical imagination. The building underwent rehabilitation in the early 2010s, based on the original plans of Le Corbusier to restore its stylistic coherence. The building is listed as a historical monument for its façades, roofs, supporting structures, and chimneys.
