Japanese architect Shigeru Ban explains how his egg-shaped music auditorium acts as a western gateway to Paris in the last instalment of Dezeen's Concrete Icons series produced in collaboration with Holcim. The video features La Seine Musicale, a music complex that houses a large multipurpose concert hall and a smaller auditorium. The musical facility is located on the Ile Seguin island near Paris's western suburbs, occupying a third of French architect Jean Nouvel's mixed-use masterplan of the island.
