The student residence is interpreted according to a "landscaping" code that takes away sterile stylistic virtuosity and compares it to the nearby park and its historic residence. The archetypal volumes describing the shape of the "house" are depicted with traditional materials and taken from the modern repertoire. The layout of the full spaces and the empty spaces dispenses a controlled chiaroscuro.
