266 Negotiation lab Team point of view Urban quality depends more on acceptance by residents than on initial design. It is not predetermined but is refined on a dayto-day basis. On the basis of this observation, we looked at the development of “VilleCampus” not as a goal but more as a particular moment where the framework of the permanent negotiations required to create a human settlement is defined. The project is thus built on an open system, embodied in five projects, five platforms used for: - Permanent adjustments between the site’s metropolitan role and its daily life - Convergence between natural and urban dynamics - Operational proposals so that this city fragment may acquire and retain a certain plasticity, that it remains adaptable “in the flesh” Jury point of view The jury stressed the project’s ambitious pursuit of links between the town and the plateau. It also appreciated the bottom-up approach to stakeholder participation. The proposal for a cable car linking the valley to the plateau was seen as a very effective way to meet the needs of students and university staff. The system of densification platforms established by the team reflects a very subtle and contextual reading of the site’s topography and uses.
