Foster and Partners has been granted with a prestigious RIBA Award for the “Zenith” a state-of-the-art music and cultural facility for St. Etienne that places the formerly industrial city on the cultural map, forming the heart of an exciting project to revitalise the area to the north-east of the city centre.

From Foster and Partners
The Zénith concert venue in Saint-Etienne has been granted a prestigious RIBA Award, it was announced today. The first purpose built, state-of-the-art performance venue in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, the Zénith is characterised by a cantilevered aerodynamic roof, which contributes to a highly efficient environmental strategy and has become a bold symbol for the city’s regeneration.

Grant Brooker, an executive director at Foster + Partners, said: “We are absolutely delighted and I would like to congratulate the full team involved in the project, particularly our collaborators Cabinet Berger. Winning this prestigious award is a wonderful credit to our clients, the Mayor and the people of Saint-Etienne Metropole, who initiated the Zénith, put their faith in us and supported the project at every stage.”
