The ‘Multitalented City’ by PUPA (Public Urbanism Personal Architecture) is a winning proposal for the Europan 11 which creates a new identity for an old university campus at the periphery of Reims, France. The campus is transformed into a flexible and self sustaining district which is able to adapt to changes – environmental, societal, and economic. More images and architects’ description after the break.
European cities are facing new challenges for the future. Loosing population, sprawling towns search for new ways to develop and attract most talented knowledge workers. Reims is one of them. How the city with 200 thousand inhabitants could offer a unique district? It should be a district as a system able to sustain by its own. We have to design new multitalented city. City where everything happens: life, work, daily program, innovation, leisure. There is diversity and dynamics of people and function, effective transport system.
