This project is the final step of a sequence of exercises, during the previous ones we had to design two pavilions and the aim of the final step was to combine the two projects. We had to use the same base as an entrance. During this fusion, we tried to keep the principal characteristic, which was the movement of transversality. Each pavilion kept its entrance on one side and its main space on the other side. We also wanted to keep a public connection with the two streets so we detached the circulation bloc to create a thin gap that permit the passage but not the view. Finally our last idea was to connect the pavilion by the light. We created
a
slot
on
the
rooftop,
which
represented
the
limit,
but
also let the light entered and created a halo inside each pavilion.

Studio Jeannette KUO, « the fat building »
The objective of the semester was to create an office building with more than 5000 m2, which oblige us to explore the deep plan and its issues. The context is the center of Lausanne, the Flon district that is characterised by a different altitude. Two streets border the building zone but one is 15 m higher than the other one. Finally the program is an office building for a telecommunication firm, consequently some spaces were reserved for studios and an auditorium with a capacity of 600 persons. In terms of private / public the auditorium is a public part of the program.
We started from an observation, office buildings become dehumanised and impersonal, the loss of references creates a non-belonging feeling. The issue of this project was to recreate a warm atmosphere, reintroduce a human scale and create a sense of belonging. Key words such as: social link, familiar scale, welfare, dynamism guided us to the idea to create communities which will be connected each other’s by shared spaces and meeting spaces.
A community represent a quarter of the building; it works on two floors, one with an open space and the other one with personal offices. By creating a smaller upper floor, a visual connection is provoked. The connection between communities works on the same idea, a relationship between two floors the upper ones with a meeting space and the lowest with a shared space, which tend to create social link between communities.

Studio Franz GRAF, « Saint-Dié, working around Le Corbusier »
Work to be done on existing structures is a major stake in the development of the city of the 21st century. The protection project and the project to be pursued in existing structures are part of a composite cultural discipline that extends the borders of contemporary architecture. The objective of this year was first to understand the composition of an existing site, Le Corbusier’s Factory at SaintDié in France. We first started by an constructive analysis of the building, in the aim of finding every details and origins of this architecture, especially materials used and why. The second step was to rehabilitate the site with a new program in case of the factory closing. For the moment all the intervention is focused around Le Corbusier’s factory, which is an extension of an older, one’s. The new program is mainly composed of archives, exhibition spaces and an auditorium, the relationship between private and public is an important issue. During the second part of the year , we focused on an intervention inside the factory. We placed a new program , a design school wihich would need a library, rooms, offices etc.

This
course
focuses
on
systems
of
organization
and
the
constructed
logics of architectural design, integrating ideas of space, structure, and atmosphere. This semester will focus on systems of organization in the postindustrial workspace. It will concentrate primarily on space, matter, and atmosphere through a public archive in rethinking an existing infrastructure.
The semester started by the analysis of an industrial site (without context) which was a reservoir of 53 m by 68 m with a height of 23 m. This huge space is totally underground consequently the light became an important issue. The program was divided more or less 2/3 for the archives and 1/3 for a public library. The idea of the project was to distinguish the functions of the program, the public (library) and the professional (archives). The concept translates the idea by creating two volumes that can be united to create one building: the union creates a third volume, a void, an interface called the plaza.
The professional archives start at the lowest floor
which
connects
four
volumes
where
Library
there is the storage of rare books inside. At the top of those volumes there are reading carrels and working places for professionals. The
public
library
is
composed
of
one
central volume which is the public storage
Entrance
and four sides spaces which correspond to four types of working atmosphere : reading room,
group
working
spaces,
informal
working spaces and personal working space. The plaza can be considered as an outside inside the building, it is a meeting place and the entrance of the program.
archive
The project was considered with a gradient of light, activities at the top and storrage at the bottom. In the public library, the roof height varies. The openings were thought with a ratio between side and zenithal light. When the roof height is important, zenithal light was prefered whereas when the height was small side openings were prefered. For the plaza the activities were placed on the edges of professional volumes just under the gap, that permit to free the central space.
