This 18th edition invited architecture students to envision a project for transforming vacant tertiary buildings located in France, exploring adaptation to climate change through several approaches: protecting users from climate hazards, the evolution and sharing of uses, the resilience of existing buildings, and reducing environmental impact.

The winner or winning team of the Internet Users’ Favorite Award will receive €2,000.

Every vote counts! Thank you for your support.

Bobigny Délire

par Maxime Caudrelier et Malaury Pierre, étudiants en M1

Everyone dreams of finding their El Dorado. Their oasis of freshness. A building that breathes, a green building where you can garden with your neighbors in the heart of a city. A place where you don’t just live in your living room, but in a variety of common spaces. Come visit your reality of tomorrow.

CASANOVA

by Alix Godfrin and Angèle Naudin, M2 student

Ordinary, yet strategic: an office building in Ivry-sur-Seine becomes the prototype of a systemic renovation. Replicable and adaptable, it mitigates and adjusts to the climate and its uses.

Waiting for the storm

by Romane Toussaint, M1 student

Where rain accumulates, the habitat becomes soaked. This project proposes rethinking the use of an office building as a true hydraulic machine in order to coexist with water. It offers a model based on ‘working with,’ welcoming water and transforming it into a resource rather than a threat.

From desk to plate, DÈMEN KA KILTIVÉ

by Morgane Lelouey-Rault, M1 student

In Guadeloupe, a vacant commercial building becomes a place that shelters, nourishes, and connects. An architecture that works with water, sun, and life to inhabit the climate before it imposes itself.

  • Apprenticeship Tax 2026

    You have until October 21, 2026, to support the students at our school.
    By allocating your apprenticeship tax payment to ENSA Paris-la Villette, you will be making a tangible contribution to the funding of three initiatives:
    • in 1st year: each student receives a back-to-school kit consisting of an artist’s bag, several squares and rulers, a notebook, a drawing board and a pencil. This basic equipment is useful from the very first week and throughout their studies.
    • in 3rd year: the study trip organized by the TPCAU and STA disciplines to a European destination, which aims to to bring together lessons in design and construction. Through visits and analysis of benchmark housing projects, students acquire the knowledge and skills essential to their future profession.
    • From the L1 to the M2: the purchase of materials (wood, cardboard, clay, straw, canvas, steel, etc.) to create objects designed as part of construction and computer science courses, as well as interdisciplinary educational experiments organized as intensive workshops. During practical exercises—ranging from the creation of models or prototypes to full-scale projects—students explore the fundamental principles of statics and material strength, and learn to master modeling tools and structural analysis.
