Paris-Saclay Campus - Quartier de Moulon

Retrouver le territoire sur le plateau de Saclay et redonner sens aux aménagements urbains, tel est l'enjeu de notre intervention démarée en 2017, pour servir le projet de la ZAC de MOULON

The first public spaces were created with particular attention to urban comfort thanks to the plant and hydraulic connection between the cultivated plateau and its wooded edge.

The Yvette's valley and the plateau: a territorial unit

Reinforce the continuity between valley and plateau

An old framework reactivated

Intensify exchanges between valley and plateau

Ongoing territorial whole

Two connected entities: City and University

The terrace and the belvedere path offer one of the most beautiful point of view on the Yvette valley

Reinforce and rank the North-South framework

The North-South axis cross the plateau and continue as many continuities with the valley

Hydraulic continuities and runoff water storage







Plants continuity with the edge vocabulary







Pedestrian / cycles continuities







Soils continuity

Urban continuity and discontinuity of the plateau - the main figures and the East-West framework
