Baptiste Bonijoly Architecte wins the multipurpose hall in Poissy.
Baptiste Bonijoly Architecte has been commissioned to design the town's multipurpose hall, to be built in the Saint-Exupéry neighbourhood of Poissy, in the Yvelines département. Aimed at the town's young people, the facility will house a computer room and two activity rooms, with a total floor area of 410 m² and a budget of €866,400 excluding VAT. Like a folded metal strip forming a bridge, the building opens up fully along its façade, offering views over the Stade Leo Lagrange grounds. Completion is expected in spring 2014. The architect is working with quantity surveyor Hugues Pillet, structural engineers Nicolas Périfan and environmental engineers Pouget Consultant.
Work begins on the EDF R&D centre on the Paris-Saclay plateau.
Construction has started on the 50,000 m² EDF research and development centre designed by architect Francis Soler. The project is located in the commune of Palaiseau, on the Paris-Saclay plateau. The centre is expected to house nearly 1,000 employees by 2015, who currently work in Clamart.
