The Catène of containers weighs a total of nearly 288 tons, and its highest point reaches 28.5 meters. The title, borrowed from the Latin word “catena”, also means “chain”. It should be seen as a nod to the technique used, inspired by Antoni Gaudi, but also to the use of containers in the “supply chain”.
This work benefited from the support of Vinci Construction and its subsidiary GTM Normandie Centre.

At the intersection of Paris Street and Southampton Dock, two monumental arches made of multi-colored containers stand. Thanks to the "chain technique" borrowed from the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, Vincent Ganivet likes to build arches, curves and domes that, at times, evoke the skeletons of Roman cathedrals.
Using containers this time, a nod to the city's port activities, is a major challenge here: to give these rectilinear mastodons an astonishing grace and lightness. uneteauhavre.fr/fr/catene-de-containers
