Around a central creative core program in rehabilitated sheds that comes to complement Euratechnologie center next to the site, the project is composed and decomposed into different scenarios. In each phase, nothing has stopped, everything can change following the viability of the overall project, in terms of economy and social life. So we imagine services, shops and different types of housing come to irrigate the rest of the peninsula by following the different taglines around this site. More than a mix of people, we search here to use a mix of functions, of appropriations ... It is a complex issue that needs to believe the project to longer terms than usual. An architecture which therefore think much in terms of space and in terms of time.
