These soils have also created a cultural and gastronomic heritage of HIGH QUALITY. With its double feature, France can initiate new practices and a new attitude ! The soil, fertile ground of the new food revolution. To this slogan, we respond with a project that relates to the piece of territory.  Image Courtesy © XTU architects A TERRITORY – BUILDING A Roof, A Great Market The project continues the theme of the GREAT MARKET. A hall, open to the city, a large ROOF and its shade, pillars that support the building and organise the exhibition, light, and a cool breath of air in the summer heat !

Here we have the exhibition on the ground level, the consumption on the terrace and the production on façades and roofs.

Hydroponic production that depicts the French innovation in partnership with the world leader of the sector ! It is the image of a « FERTILE MARKET », in direct production-consumption system. And at the end, there will be a great event for the harvesting of hops.

The architecture expresses the four pillars that underpin the exhibition: « feed the world today, feed the world tomorrow, pleasure and food, commitment to the future ».

Assemblies are invisible, complex geometry is made of digital cutting, all technologies that the company controls, serving the architectural quality. It is spectacular, innovative, graphic. It is both elementary and founding. It is bare wood…  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects  Image Courtesy © XTU architects
