Il tema della tesi è la rigenerazione del distretto dell'Ecole Polytechnique a Paris-Saclay tramite la creazione di un Parco dell'Innovazione, dove il Centro di Ricerca dell'Institute Polytechnique (IP R&D), composto dal Centro di Ingegneria Biomedica e il Museo, prendono forma. Il progetto segue i futuri sviluppi attualmente messi in opera dallo studio MDP-XDGA, i quali definiscono un'area centrale urbanizzata che gradualmente si disperde nella natura circostante. Qui, il R&D e l'Ecole Polytechnique determinano il principale agglomerato. Il progetto segue una strategia urbana volta a connettere le parti del distretto. Ciò è reso possibile dal Centro di Ricerca, un "dispositivo urbano" che evidenzia l'Ecole Polytechnique, tramite la creazione di uno spazio comune tra i due edifici. Questo è definito come "piazza cittadina", cuore del parco dell'innovazione e area pubblica dove le nuove tecnologie e i risultati di ricerca sono esposti. Nell'edificio, le due funzioni (IP Museo e IP Centro di Ingegneria Biomedica) sono indipendenti fuori terra, ma connessi nel piano interrato con uno spazio eventi. Il Centro di Ingegneria e il Museo formano uno spazio collettivo aperto centrale dove una piazza interrata è il principale ingresso pubblico del complesso. Il piano interrato e il piano terra sonoi due principali spazi pubblici. Inoltre, il IP R&D è formato da una serie di blocchi indipendenti uniti da ponti. L'ingresso e la circolazione verticale sono nel poste all'intersezione delle ali, che formano due "navate" per la circolazione pubblica. I blocchi, concepiti come zone private, ospitano i laboratori. La funzione flessibile di laboratorio, risultato dell'aggregazione tipologica, è rafforzata dalla configurazione strutturale. Ciò si riflette in facciata, le cui caratteristiche mostrano le funzioni interne. Infine, il progetto propone un design integrato che concilia soluzioni tecniche innovative, fornendo una nuova tipologia di laboratorio. La proposta progettuale è concepita come un luogo di riferimento all'interno del Parco dell'Innovazione, capace di migliorare le zone dove ci si incontra, scambiano idee e conoscenze per creare innovazione.

Abstract
The theme of the thesis is the regeneration of the Ecole Polytechnique District in Paris-Saclay through the definition of an Innovation Park, where the IP Research Centre (IP R&D), composed of the Biomedical Engineering Research Centre and IP Museum, is designed. The project follows the future developments currently put into place by the architecture firm MDP-XDGA, which contemplate the definition of an urbanized central area which gradually fades into the natural surroundings. Here, IP R&D and Ecole School represent the main urban core. The project follows an urban strategy aimed to connect the various parts of the district. This is done by the design of IP R&D, an “urban device” highlighting the Ecole Polytechnique, by creating a gathering point between the two blocks. This space is defined as a “city square”, the core of the Innovation Park and a gathering place where the latest technologies and research results are shown. Focusing on the building, the two programs (IP Museum and IP Biomedical Centre) are independent overground, while connected in the basement with an event and exhibition space. The laboratory building and Museum form an open central meeting space where a sunken square is the main public access into the complex. The basement and the ground floor constitute the two main public spaces in the buildings. Further, IP R&D is a set of independent blocks interconnected by bridges. The main entrance and vertical connections are at the intersection point of the two wings, composed of two long "naves" defining the public circulation. The blocks, conceived as private and closed spaces, host the labs. The flexible laboratory function, the result of a typological aggregation, is strengthened by the structural configuration. This is reflected in the façade, whose features point out the various internal functions. Finally, the project results in an integrated design able to conciliate innovative technical solutions, providing a new typology of laboratories. The project is conceived as a new reference “place” within the Innovation Park, able to improve the spaces where people can meet, share ideas, and transfer knowledge to generate innovation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
