Seen from the Paris ring-road and the Seine, the national School of Architecture of Paris-Val-de-Seine resembles a condensed city, its heterogeneous forms harking back to the diversity of possible approaches to teaching.

It evokes the technical objects that still haunt this former industrial area, notably the concrete silos still visible from the old inner ring-road. As with all machines, the way this building works is clearly legible externally. The administration occupies the platform carried on "trestles"; lecture theatres are suspended below, while the seemingly scarcely juxtaposed slender volumes rising above contain the various studios and their associated research laboratories.
Footbridges provide access to the reabilitated SUDAC building where related acivities are located: library, computer rooms and exhibition spaces.
