University comfort in the cityThis programme is dedicated to student comfort (student refectory, housing, gymnasium, parking) and has the dual ambition to rehabilitate a neglected neighbourhood and to implant a university in the heart of the city on an old mill pool between the cathedral and the Seine. The urban and landscaping project strive to create a dynaminc in the heart of the campus : a promenade alternates restful moments in an atmosphere where water appears and disappears in a playful pattern of pools and canals.The architecture work is over several blocks and the constructions marry concrete with massive wooden facades in a structural style that recalls Troyes' tradition of wood panelling
