With this objective, the project experiments with the potential of unconventional forms of teaching in order to instruct students from the Design Laboratory under "real" operating conditions. These are concrete, objective conditions within which the project must be developed: site, function, budget, construction techniques, materials, client. The contributions of the business sector (ANCE, Building Fund) and professional training organizations (AION, Building School, Architects Association) were the natural completion to activities undertaken during the first semester in the classroom and during the second on site.
