An in-line residential building with shops on the ground floor
What the track asks
A practical-exam track (Section A, May session): design an in-line residential building, maximum height 13.50 m, on a flat 60×80 m lot facing south onto a provincial road. The context drives the choices: to the east it borders a residential building set ten metres from the boundary, to the west an open area with tennis courts, to the north a public park. At least six flats sized between 120 and 150 sqm covered are required; the ground floor must hold retail units and the layout of the open areas with at least eight parking spaces for owners and guests, plus parking adequate to the number of retail units designed. The candidate must state the structural scheme and handle the relationship between housing, retail and open space. Deliverables: a 1:500 site-volume plan; ground-floor and typical-floor plans with the structural scheme, at least one section through the stair and two elevations 1:100; an optional furnished typical-cell study 1:50; an optional construction detail 1:20; perspective or axonometric sketches are encouraged to clarify the idea. Transparency note: the university does not publish the exam texts; this sheet is reconstructed from a preparation archive (source below), with the usual editorial summary.
