Text description provided by the architects. The project for the new State Administrative Centre in Lyon is part of the Part-Dieu urban district in Lyon, France. La Part-Dieu is France's second-largest business district, after La Défense. It is a particularly densely populated area, with 60,000 jobs, 2,500 businesses, shops, offices and a railway station. Today, this part of Lyon is the subject of a vast renovation plan that includes the redevelopment of public spaces and the creation of new public buildings, housing and offices. The existing buildings, which are old and obsolete, will be demolished to free up space for urban developments such as the new Centre Administratif d'Etat (CAE).
