Program Workshops, offices and visitor's centre Location Valenton - Paris (France) Client SIAAP Project authors S. Barclay - J. P. Crousse Project size 2480 m2 Year 2004 Concept The project is implanted within a water treatment plant, a fantastic place in which an "artificial geography" is animated by unique objects. The building seeks to dialogue with these elements to find its place in this constructed landscape, a dialogue established more by its implantation than by its form. A linear building settles naturally in the existing geometry determined by the bordering farm and the olfactory barrier of the artificial hill. The offices are placed in a vertical volume that emerges to define the entrance of the treatment plant.
