We find ourselves here in an urban plan that hesitates between an urbanity that has difficulties to affirm itself and a landscape campus. Far from any judgment and enforcing in a peremptory way our truth, we recapture the ambiguities of the site trough placing a new situated object in it. Indeed, a new footpath discretely structures the place through joining together the parts of the campus that did not know each other.
