The eco-district of Le Vialenc marks the change in the urban-planning policy of the town of Aurillac. The new approach implies viewing the town and housing of tomorrow differently and aiming to increase responsibility and sustainability. The proposed building is a symbol in itself of the town?s renewal in an eco-responsible neighbourhood. Its position is strategic, its image emblematic. Its shape is simple and contemporary: two intertwined volumes referring to complementary forces,- verticality and horizontality.
