Abstract


The aim sought in conditioning the Old Market square of Rouen has been to integrate three elements of very different functions in a harmonious unit. These are: — the church — the covered market, and — the Joan of Arc national monument. The various frameworks are based on the traditional naval construction and are made up of tuned surfaces: hyperbolic paraboloids made in wood. The thirteen XVI century stained glass windows miraculously saved from the destruction of Saint Vincent's Church are an outstanding feature.
