Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2003
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The forecourt of a university. Carved in this forecourt,
a great hall. Above it, a seven storey building.
At the rear, against the gable wall of an existing
residential
building, there is a new wall, thick enough
to house all the service and vertical access elements,
a monolithic wall: a solution representing
continuity.
On the ground floor, a balcony, a walkway to the
staircase, to the “ Salle des pas perdus” that provides
access to six seminar rooms with skylights
that let natural light in from the forecourt.
Inside each floor, three different office modules
combine freely. The white plaster modules bear
different spatial compositions and can be flexibly
adapted. In between them, the warmth of the red
wood used in common areas frames and captures
the view outside.
The façade is created by the layering of levels and
office modules. The fixed wall panels are coated in
a layer of black insulation while the openings consist
of black, thermo-coated aluminium window
profiles. The ensemble has a bracing system composed
of steel struts with a free, well-conceived
design that is both abstract and unifying.
The built volume is still naked, unprotected. A uniform
metallic fabric provides a shield veil, protecting
the façade from the sun, wind and rain.
The building will change its appearance depending
on the angle of the sun, the brightness, the air
humidity, the temperature, the colour of the sky,
the lighting in the offices, the corridors, the city:
opaque, matt, transparent, brilliant, moiré, non-existent,
hazy, moving, floating like a lantern on the
university campus.
