The urban project by the practice TVK for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Media cluster in Dugny, which will become a neighbourhood in its own right after the Games, is located on the Bourget site, the hotspot for the Fête de l’Humanité festival. The buildings are part of a series of interconnected vertical buildings set in an embankment along the Aire des Vents, blending into the tree-lined landscape of the B road that they punctuate, cadence and bring to life.

. The road becomes a new “avenue de Dugny”, the new face of the town. Reaching up among the trees, the tall buildings enjoy views over the parks and multiple orientations. The building at the fore stands out with its material, semi-load-bearing stone, and features a largely glass-fronted commercial plinth that activates the entrance into the neighbourhood.

For each building, we propose a long hall, dual-aspect on the façade along the tree-lined embankment, connecting the B road and a raised alleyway that will structure the rest of the developed neighbourhood at the upper section of the embankment. Their massing is characterised by the pursuit of a central, light-filled, dual-aspect corridor that creates a break which lightens and splits the perception of the building on the slope. Open-air staircases rise up. The building plan keeps to a 3 m floor framework, which has the same aspect as the façade and guides the design of the “modular” elements. This framework, punctuated by a few columns, guarantees simplicity of construction and scope to evolve, which generous external elements (balconies or loggias), again within this 3 m framework, create setbacks or overhangs. These outside areas make for additional rooms in their own right and are always connected to the kitchen, the beating heart of French living. The loggias to the south and west provide sun protection, multiple orientations for the homes and natural ventilation. The balconies form turrets in the trees along the embankment and give those homes with slightly lesser orientations access to views and light.
The programme demonstrates a conscious and exacting demand for buildings with an exemplary carbon footprint, buildings that are durable and able to evolve, using biosourced materials and ready to rise to the changing climate between now and 2050. Added to this is a need for rapid, high-quality execution, making prefabrication a clear priority. The aim is to use each material in the construction appropriately. The buildings dictate the appropriate use of products and materials – stone, brick, wood, metal – employed in a unique way in order to express their singular qualities. They are simple, architectonic, solid, durable and elegant. Along with other neighbourhood buildings developed on the embankment, building C1 forms a courtyard cluster. It signals an alignment with the raised alleyway and opens onto the courtyard that it helps to create. It distils all the proposed principles for buildings C5 and C6, adopting the use of breaks, dual-aspect corridors and halls and open-air staircases.
