Sense of Community
Project description
This proposal envisions community-focused, sustainable design through the renovation of Chimilin and a new campus at Les Grands Ateliers. In Chimilin, flexible, accessible spaces create a lively community environment. At Les Grands Ateliers, a campus for experimental learning connects people by linking blue-green networks, facilities, and housing. The design prioritizes material life cycles and passive strategies to achieve low-carbon, sustainable solutions.
