Regional platform for innovation. Construction of a combined technological and networking center specifically established around robotics. It hosts : a showroom for diffusion & exhibition a conference center for networking a workshop and offices for experimentation and development

A constructed scenery The project site hold a strong agricultural identity typical of the rural local landscape. Thereby the plot has been cut into multiple transversal stripes building a sequence alternating between hardscape and softscape. Three of these striation delimitated by wooden palisades host the building and the parking lot. Thus the high-tech program shows an abstract image hybrid of a shed and a barn, integrated into the agricultural landscape, in a kind of a stealth architecture.

An environmental building The construction follows the principles of a soft bioclimatic architecture : - A compact built shape for low energy loss - Maximization of light intake through sheds orientated North for low electricity consumption - Maximization of passive intake during winter : Use of solar energy through a large shed orientated to the south. - The high inertia walls and floors enable thermal phase shift for heating during winter and cooling during summer.

An evolutionary building The building and its architecture has been thought as a kind of an abstract factory to be adaptable in use and in time. The workshop enable multiple configurations and uses by a matrixed fluids distribution ( water, high and low voltage wiring, compressed air...) and movable partitions. The construction and its futures extensions have been designed as a whole. The palisade, building the « image » of the edifice, hosts blanks to be filled. Specifically designed furniture Lusters and reception desk in the hall have been designed specifically and integrate an acoustic treatment for the room.
