The building's architectural design is a resolutely modern and daring structural scheme, for which sustainable development is taken into account by giving preference to ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) for the construction of the structure's main elements. They are the tree-shaped columns, the main floor beams, the concrete skin façade and roof, and the footbridge to Fort Saint Jean. The objective of this project is to get the most out of UHPFRC's exceptional mechanical properties for both architectural and technical schemes.
