into two interpenetrated bodies: the first is more compact and mon-
olithic, while the other is longer and lighter and contains the studios,
the classrooms and small laboratories. The two bodies interpenetrate in
a glassed ‘knot’, which serves as the Technopole’s entrance and also as
the pivot which the bodies are organised around, creating an L-shape.
