The notion of sustainable development is steadily gaining acceptance. Across the globe, sustainability is one of the cornerstones of a new rationalism in the design process.

One of them is commissioned to design a building for a new permanent collection of sustainable architecture which the Regional Government of Seine-aval is developing adjacent the Villa Savoye at Poissy (France).
