This site is an agri-cultural exploitation staying amazingly in activity along the highway surounding the city of Lyon, ma-king the boundary with the city of Venissieux. This location has great potentials with its ac-cessibility by car and by public transport : metro and a tramway station in each side.
The project consits in developing the site for living housing, inclu-ding offices, a parc and a cultural institution.
The main issue is to deal with heteroge-neous surroundings : a big commercial cen-ter, a highway and va-rious urban paterns.

France
This quarter is included in a wider area with ty-pical urbanism from the seventies named «Grand Ensemble», caracte-rized by long and high buildings in bad estate.Badly connected with the city, and facing a lot of social problems, the ur-ban shape no more fit with the expectations of the inhabitants and for a good quality of urban life.
This diploma project consisted in conceiving an urban planning ope-ration to regenerate the quarter for 2030, inclu-ding all the steps from urban studies to the finan-cial and technical studies.
This work was partened and followed by concer-ned shakeholders : the city of Lyon, the social owner and the developers.

подземный пешеходный переход
проходчерез здание
единые основания для движения и сооружений, общие для всех факультетов(Амфитеатр, библиотеки, рестораны, компьютерные залы ...)
- Новая структура сооружения, позволяющея модульное развитие: * линейных зданий для движения и коммун оборудования * «plug-in»» сооружений для факультетов
- Размещение здания в соответствии с ориентацией солнца
- постепеное развитие в течене 10 лет- Сохранение существующих зданий
- Собирание на одном территории всех факультеты
>Новая организация зданий для оптимизации работы и повышения эффективности новых методов обучения
>обеспечить оптимальную основу для исследований

My_BahrainCULTURE / TERRITORY
For the very first step it was asked to create a represen-tation of what is Bahrain for us, without knowing about it. A total liberty was given for the form and the media.
My model can be handled. It is two cubes inserted one to another (each edge is 30cm) creating diffe-rent geometric patterns as we can find in islamic art. One is textured with sate-lite views of the territory ta-king the aspect of marble, as the bedrock of the country. The second is covered of various patterns represen-ting elements of culture and society organised in two different ways : «re-petition of stereotypes» and «cultural package».
On the jonctions of these two cubes we can also find ele-ments deply link with both of them as oil, richness, religion ...

Environmental concerns
Position of Qatar
- The only country in the region that have devoted a section of the Constitution to protect the
environment.
- Annual day of multiple operations environment awareness and education have been organized
in spring 2007.
Among other things, the days of cleaning beaches in Qatar have marked the beginning of a long campaign.
Eventually, the whole community should be required to undertake initiatives throughout the year to be sure to
keep the beaches clean.
Qatar’s environmental commitments
- ratifying the agreements of Rio and Kyoto on global warming
- agreements binding as those of Vienna on the Protection of the Ozone Layer,
- the Basel transporting hazardous waste
- the United Nations conventions on biodiversity and desertifi cation cons.
creation of the High Council for Environment Protection and Natural Reserves, in 2004,
The ratifi cation of these international agreements and the presence of UNESCO Doha, helped strengthen not
shy to say in a process now registered over time.Nevertheless, the number of shares remaining to be completed is still very important, and educating the new generations will be long.

Talking about culture in an Arabic country will quickly lead to the topic of poetry, embedded in the region’s cultu-ral roots. Poetry is known as “Diwan Al-Arab”, the “Register of Arabs”. But more than just being a fundament of culture, poetry is also seen as having a huge potential in the contemporary society, making interact people and thus accepting their diversity. After the period of huge economic development of the last fifty years, and looking for the after-petroleum period, a comeback to more traditional cultural Arabic values is nowadays observable. In this tendency, poetry starts progressi-vely to take back its importance.Bahrain already has in its cultural network (the Shaikh Ebrahim Center) the Ibrahim Al Arrayed House (opened in 2006), which is a place welcoming events relating to poetry. Located in the city of Manama, in the house of one famous Bahraini Poet, this institution tries to perpetuate cultural tradition of old Bahraini families. To promote poetry to a broader range of people and to complement the Al Arrayed House, the pro-posed institution is a popular place to foster poetry in the Bahraini society, as a tool of creation, pro-duction, exchanges and communication. The building will welcome 9 poets-in-residence as well as every visitor who wants to find a place to hear, read or practice himself poetry. The presence of poets, invited for a period of time, will create exchanges and the place will be constantly producing various poetry.
The location of this institution will be inland, in the heart of the country, in an amazing but threaten natu-ral site, showing original topographic features of Bahrain and between two important towns. This site, well connected to transports (highway and future train to Qatar) is in a strategic position of our proposed Urban Constitution and will thus benefit from this new cultural location as a guarantee of consideration of the natural and typical landscapes. On one axis, the building will be on a remaining empty land between two cliffs, separating two wide open natural spaces and ensuring their continuity. On the other axis, the institution will create an in-between for the two ur-ban development areas on the northern and southern part. To really engage with the site, the building appears like a break into the ground linking the two na-tural open spaces and welcoming a park creating inside a specific atmosphere as well as making appear only the top of trees from outside. The image of the porosity of the rock is re-use by the facades that are created by numerous rectangular openings as the result of the sun light, the program and the different uses that can provide this scheme : these “holes” can be windows, doors or small opening in the rock to have a seat. In this facade can also be read the different kind of activities that are undergoing in the building and which the spaces are dug inside the rock along the cliff, as a troglodyte town. The car park is also following this scheme, creating a connection with the road which go through the break and integrate therefore the institution in the urban pattern.Each poet has his own unit with a space to work, to receive people and a deeper one for their privacy. Community life is enhanced by meeting rooms and common spaces as the kitchen.
This building has to be explored by visitors to discover all the different kind of spaces that they can used as a place to practice poetry. They can for example have a walk on the park, find a place inside the rock, go to the library, take part of a worshop with poets, have a drink in the bar and go to one extremity to enjoy the view of the natural open spaces.

Le Havre is situated at the estuary of the river la Seine. It is the more important harbour of France and an important industrial zone.The aim of this one-week works-hop (commisioned by the in-dustrials) was to think about the relation between the industries, the territory, the city, the people and imagine a new type of industrial aera.
The working team was composed by students and teachers from the architecture schools of Brussel, Montreal, Paris and Lausanne.

Alexis GadenneEcole Polytechnique Fédérale de LausanneSuisse
The project I’ve developped was called «Back to the estuary and innovation area».This idea was to stop separate the natural protected area whose li-mits are arbitrary and reasons for tensions with the industries. The new aera will combine nature in-dustries and leasure activities in the whole territory of the estuary.
The new industries will have to adapt their processes to compen-sate their effects on the environ-ment. The whole estuary will then work like a microorganism .
