The Nuclear Sanctuary investigates the dichotomous relationship between hope and fear of the French nuclear industry.

Combining the archive, tourism and folklore, the architectural proposal seeks to physicality the complexity and magnitude of French nuclear culture, safeguarding its nuclear legacy. The project looks to re-articulate the nuclear story through architectural narrative, becoming a cognitive tool to speculate on how nuclear culture will be perceived in the future. Standing as a monumental marker in time the Nuclear Sanctuary presents a window into the future through the past, situated in the present.
