About
The project came from a national competition. Its aim is an international area that brings together aviation production and research, demonstration areas and housing.
An outer green belt holds several urban islands for housing. It surrounds a central academic area with all the buildings for academic life and industrial production.
The project restores as much of the site’s ecological landscape as possible, with walking routes on several levels that make the campus easy to cross on foot.
