The Learning House is a hybrid, cosmopolitan and urban building. It is born from the meeting of two territories, between Paris and Ivry, between the ground-planes of the street and the boulevard, between the university and the city. It unfolds as a strata from the level of the neighborhood and its street life to the planted terrace above, superposing spaces for living, working, exchange, and research. It is a building which is nurtured by its inhabitants, by their shared intelligence and desires. It is necessarily multifaceted and generous. It demonstrates the richness of its interior life as a prismatic lantern shining in Paris.
