Museum Aeroscopia in Blagnac

You're standing at Aeroscopia, the aviation museum in Blagnac, right on the edge of Toulouse. Start with the big black hall in front of you. It's rounded, almost egg-shaped, and curves in an arc around a stretch of water. That's deliberate. Across the way are the Airbus halls where the A380 was assembled. Those are straight-edged, with doors that shine like mirrors. The architects, Cardete and Huet, went for the exact opposite: soft curves and a dark colour.
