TEAM POINT OF VIEW — XXIst century city, metropolitan site of
excellence. From the city that produces, we chose to approach the subject by the city that cultivates. The ambition is to create a new competitive cluster at the “European Metropolis of Lille” scale. It is a high place of research, teaching and experimentation, where it can be developed an autonomous, clean and fair way of living. Two strong polarities with specific architectures are developed on each side of the island, reinforced by a new network of waterways perpendicular to the main axis. On one side stands the “Standart” campus, a former silo, and creative halls, large-scale innovative spaces for students, craftsmen and engineers. On the other side is the “Marx Dormoy” swimming pool converted into a marketplace and type “2030” houses, a new way to develop mixed housing with workplaces and activities.
