Project "waterwood": icon of rebirth of the Laval University School of Architecture through the idea of flux, realized with the plastic use of two dominants materials.
Glass: river, ocean. Wood: forest, ground.
A glazed vertical water-course penetrates from the outside the old building, communicates the existence to the community, purposes guide towards the interior places and, in the end, flows into the water of a "square lake".
Here, the intervention claims his presence, contaminates the pre-existences surrounding literally the old building, limits the only open side of the present space.
The morphology of the volumes, mute, anti-mimetic, anti-static, is the notion of perpetual motion of the natural elements.
The homogeneous relation of meeting-collision with the existing shakes the same connections town-school.
The embracing with the existing is inside the formal continuation in plan and elevation.
The amphitheatre, "square lake", is hypogeal and embedded in the NO corner, sedimentation in the natural slope of the ground. The multi-use space, with two floors, is the higher peak of the "wooden rocks".
