Tis building, symbol o the long termand visible presence o EDF in theMeuse and Haute Marne region, hoststhe companys industrial records.

Within the ramework o the Meuseand Haute Marne economic supportprogramme, EDF has decidedto centralise all its intermediaryEngineering Production Managementarchives in Bure-Saudron.Until now, these paper copy archiveshad been stored in nuclear, hydraulicand thermal production units, as wellas in engineering units and associatedservices.

Te new centre allows the documentsorganisation and it also ameliorates thestorage and the utilisation processes.Tese archives, on paper-based andmicrolm-based ormats, will occupyabout 70 km o shelves.Te building has also a laboratory ormicro-lms, specically designed orthis purpose.

Te conceptWe realised a ve level, 19 m highbuilding within a plot o 3.30 hectarescomprehensive o an archives area

A strategic project providing a socialand environmental positive impact onthe region. The building fully integratesinto the landscape as well as it meetsenvironmental quality standards, afundamental aspect for the EDFs buildingstrategy.

covering approximately 1,400 m and atotal surace o approximately 7,000 m.Tis approach results in:- considerable saving in terms o thebuildings envelope- improved unctionality translated by areduced number o kilometres coveredper year,- a marginal impact on the landscape(with view points at a considerabledistance rom the building),- the possibility o a maximum useo the excavated land around thebuildings ootprint to control waterrecuperation and treatment on the site,- an energetically and environmentallyextremely high perormance building,- the creation o a symbolrepresentative o the approach taken bythe Mouse and Haute Marne economicsupport programme.

Te typologyAn archives storage building needsto have a considerable inertia with a

minimal exchange with its externalsetting. Te need or ast and simplesite management and optimum storageeciency led us to develop a simpleand rational layout.

Te complex will be suspendedrom reinorced concrete walls and heldin position using distancing jacks. Teelevations will have a total thickness o68 cm.Te acades building process was the

subject o a patent.

LAN (Local Architecture Network)was created by Benoit Jallon and UmbertoNapolitano in 2002, with the idea of exploringarchitecture as an area of activity at the intersection

of several disciplines.This attitude has developed into a methodologyenabling LAN to explore new territories and forge avision encompassing social, urban, functional andformal questions.LANs projects seek to nd elegant, contemporaryanswers to creative and pragmatic concerns.

LAN has received several awards: the NouveauxAlbums de la Jeune Architecture (NAJA) prizeawarded by the French Ministry of Culture andCommunication (2004); the International Architecture

Award from the Chicago Athenaeum and theEuropean Urban Centre for Architecture, Art, Designand Urban Studies, the Archi-Bau Award, the SpecialPrize at the 12th World Triennale of Architecture, Soa(2009); the AR Mipim Future Projects Award and theEurope 40 Under 40 Award (2010).

Te building is divided into 2programmes: archives and oces.Te archives part is composed by20 storehouses o 200 m each; withregulated temperature and hygrometry.Te blocks can resist re or 2 hoursand they are equipped with a sprinklingsystem.

Te oces part is N/W oriented,embedded in a natural slope planted

with trees and plants. Te oces havean ideal view on the surroundinglandscape.Te landscaperee-planted suraces give someadvantages: rom an ecological pointo view the trees protect the buildingagainst climatic issues.From an aesthetical point o view - and

within an idea o landscape integration- they complete the building byinserting a pattern recurring rom thelandscape: the merlons, narrow stripso land planted with hardwoods.

Te project o the landscape oreseesthe raming o the views rom theoces by planting vegetable masses.Some ramings already exist rom thehighway in the projects direction.

A game o sequences is set incombination with the architecturalplan in order to vary the visuals andto put an accent on the buildings

continuity with its landscape.

EnergyHeat production is principally based onrenewable energies and a heat pump.Te choice made or the ventilation

was to use a double ow ventilationsystem with heat recuperation.Tis limits energy consumptionresulting rom heating and ensures thegood sanitary quality o the air.Low voltage luminaries will resultin considerable savings in terms ointernal loads.Storage areas will be equipped withpresence detectors.Te high perormance o the envelopecombined with economic ventilationand lighting systems reduces energyrequirements.Te use o renewable energies and aheat pump will result in a high level oenergy autonomy.Te total power consumed by thebuilding represents 29 kWh/m.

Te buildings envelope

o give the impression o a lightweightbuilding in movement, we proposedincorporating stainless steel studs intothe earth-coloured concrete cladding.Tis solution had the efect o blurring

the buildings limits and reecting thesurrounding colours and changingseasons.Te envelope has a very highperormance resulting rom thematerials employed and the technologyused or attaching the concrete acing(reduced thermal bridges).

Te combination o two layers oconcrete (structure + acing) andinsulation (30 cm) ensures that thebuilding has a high level o inertiaavouring comort during the summerand reduces cooling requirements.

Stainless steel studs will beincorporated into the ormwork duringthe casting o the integrally colouredpreabricated concrete elevation panels.

A system o xing ties holding thestuds in position during the castingoperation will be used to ensure thatthe studs and concrete are ush withone another.

Continuity with theterritory.

Te ha-ha instead o a traditionalclosing system represents the way wedecided to deal with the landscape. Tischoice strengthens the sites integrationwhile limiting the visual impact o thebarriers which are placed inside ditches

that are 1.5mt deep. Around the site, theditches create a perspective efect thatallows the gardens to continue into thesurrounding landscape. As a result theview is limitless and panoramic.

In order to preserve the buildingsautonomy, a system o lagoons ensurethe treatment o the water that can thenbe reinserted and reused to save the

environments resources.Te water can thus circulate thankto gravity and it passes through the 3phases o depuration as detailed:
