RESIDENCE FOR STUDENTS ON THE SEINE ARCHITECTURE
RESIDENCE FOR STUDENTS ON THE SEINE ARCHITECTURE
This project is supposed to show that a six storeys building can be constructed with a maximum of wood. The residence for students is located in a new district very close to Paris, on the island of the old Renault factory in Boulogne-Billancourt. The program of the site includes a cultural and scientific goal, with a sustainable development concern. My proposition offers a unique point of view to the hills of Meudon and use the existing project of the deck around the island to create a public space on the building. I have tried also to propose a better place for the student with large rooms for playing, watching movies or eating.
