The grand nuancier dreamt of place

“As for the place to house the Grand Nuancier, my wish is for a dedicated space: a peaceful place where it will be given, in a permanent and ever-changing installation, to contemplate – a multitude of colours for an infinity of beings – one, the other, the set, and the harmony that can arise from it.”

The concept for the site to be built in Jerusalem (or, if necessary, elsewhere…) to house the works of the Grand Nuancier is as follows — designed to adapt, in geometric and topological terms particularly, to all types of terrain (the exact location, with its specific characteristics and environmental conditions, being as yet undetermined).

It will consist of a series of circular modules of varying radii, built on three levels, directly connected to each other in a flexible layout, thus unfolding the exhibition space, located on the upper floor, into a continuous series of arcs of different lengths and orientations, creating an especially immersive and lively experience that allows the Great Colour Chart to deploy before the viewer’s eyes, “in a succession of rainbows”, in all its diversity and unity.

While the first floor will be devoted to the conservation and administration, the ground floor of the building will include the the Grand Nuancier interpretation centre, studios (the Grand Nuancier “laboratory”), a meeting room, a cafeteria and the museum shop.

The Grand Nuancier aiming to be “a sign of hope and alliance for a human community where all would live in harmony, with each other and with nature”, its dedicated building will preferably be (ecologically) constructed within a preserved milieu, surrounded by a beautiful garden, set back from the metropolitan hustle and bustle, yet easily accessible to the largest number of visitors (local residents and tourists).
