CONCOURS INTERNATIONAL IDEAS COMPETITION FOR THE RECONVERSION OF THE LORIENT KEROMAN SUBMARINE BASE (France)

 

 

 

 

COMPETITION PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

A project committee, gathering together the principal authorities of the Lorient District, of the County (Morbihan) and the Region (Brittany), chose as a strategic option for the conversion and development, the creation of a complex integrating industrial and service activities, training and research activities as well as leisure and tourist activities; the unifying element of this programme is the interaction between man and the sea and also the highlighting of the knowledge of the people of the Lorient in this field.

The objective of this competition is to establish a masterplan for the urban development with a long term perspective which will constitute a reference not only for the site of the Base itself but also, for the surrounding areas, their evolution and their relationship with the city centre.

Through the competition, the organiser wishes to select a team which will undertake, on its behalf, the supervision of the execution of the masterplan during the end of the pre-operational period and later during the first phase of the implementation of the project (1999-2002).
