The conception of our project joins in a second reading of the landscape of the road of Saint leu, by integrating its history and its transformations to assert the manners and the qualities and reveal the poetry of the place.
The project will have to play the role of revelation of a district in future, articulation of a split up territory, a synthesis of a town planning consisted of industrial and commercial buildings, detached flags of the last century, complexes and public equipments.
The stakes are to impose a politeness on a secondary road, to desynchronize the shelf space built by the rhythm of the automobile, to modify the perception of a landscape having undergone without having controlled it the transformation of its territory. The politeness is there, but very little legible; it is a question of making it the evident presence.
The project foresees
the reception on the plot of land of three autonomous and additional programs:
a residence for students of 150 housing for 170 residents, 19 housing for
researchers or invited professors and housing for women in distresses.
The objective is to create some social coeducation while having for each
of the establishments a management with human scale benefiting from synergies
between establishments. So the project foresees guard's accommodation, private
study rooms, laundry, space out relaxation internal and outer, gardens were
fitted out with fruit trees. In break with a territory which would be too
dense to be really plant and too chaotic to be urban, the project reintroduces
and prolong the morphology of the fragmented which structured the district,
by four buildings of differentiated writings. Joining the geometry everything
in length of the plots of land of the district, built household of wide
spaces of full végétalisée ground. In this urban logic,
overlaps a geographical logic with a rational orientation of the east-west
buildings and the facades protected from the noise pollutions of the voices
shod and of the secondary road by effect of mask.
The constructions
join the size of the district, in volumes developed on more packed R+2.
The volumetrics of each of 4 buildings is specific to become integrated
into its immediate environment, manage transitions with existing neighbouring.
The global density of the plot of land will be about 1.25, density which
seems to us rather strong to be carrier of politeness and rather weak to
be able to assure a sewing with the adjoining suburban zone.
Federative element of an ill-assorted district, the project will be urban facade on the road of Saint leu in the North, to become more paysagé and coil up in the continuity of fragmented one suburban very structured in the South.

BIOGRAPHY
ECDM is an office
for architecture based in Paris . ECDM’s work focuses on transformational
and flexible concepts as well as on issues of sustainable development.
The open programming provides an overall conceptual platform to define specific
scenarios for specific projects. The method may be characterized as an integrative
approach. In close collaboration with the client, associated ingeniers,
consultants and future occupants, our work consists of bringing forth fundamental
concepts and guiding a design response, appropriate for a specific time,
place and program.
The pertinent solution is as much concerned with functional legibility and
technical appropriateness, as with architecture’s significant and poetic
content. The search for quality in design and construction is at the centre
of the firm’s organization and is demonstrated through close collaboration
between all disciplines. The team’s philosophy is built around progressively
acquired principles distilled from 12 years of experience in developing
specific projects in all sectors of architectural practice including new
construction, renovation, urbanism and design.
