AEROSPACE CAMPUS


Use : COMMERCIAL / LANDSCAPE
Location : TOULOUSE ( FRANCE )
Year : 2009
Client : GRAND TOULOUSE

The project will provide 193,700m2 of offices, research facilities and leisure and retail areas in a 40Ha site at the core of the Aerospace Valley in Toulouse, and will become its future urban centre. Our proposal retain the trace of the former runway as a historical trace of the origins of the Aerospace Industry in Toulouse. Using the presence of a very high water table in the site, the former runway will be replaced by a water surface to contribute to the microclimate of the complex through adiabatic cooling. The Canal will also function as a collector and reservoir to provide irrigation to the nearly 20Ha of green spaces that the complex will provide and will become the main public space feature of the future Aerospace Campus, and will be complemented by using the volume of above grade parking to form a sculpted socle that will generate a theatrical public space at the centre of the complex.
