架构师提供的文本描述。在场地的东边，学生宿舍和商业及服务区为公众广场提供了清晰的边界。延伸至南面，包括地铁车站，商店和餐馆由一个有盖的画廊，上面的酒店和学生住宿。建筑物的大尺度是通过组成复杂建筑的不同体积的一系列表达和高度变化来实现的。只有建筑物的中央部分被抬到顶层的第八层。外立面覆盖着系列玻璃和铝制百叶窗，与会议中心保持着清晰的对话，彩色的窗框预示着内部庭院的繁荣。

Text description provided by the architects. On the eastern edge of the site, student housing and commercial and service areas provide a clear border on the public plaza. Extending to the south to include the Metro station, shops and restaurants are sheltered by a covered gallery with the hotel and student lodgings above. The large scale of the building is mediated through a series of articulations and variations in height of the different volumes that make up the complex. Only the central bodies of the building are carried up to level eight at the top. The outer facades clad in serigraphed glass and aluminium louvers maintain a clear dialogue with the convention center, the coloured window jambs anticipate the exuberance of the inner courtyard.

商业及服务区直接开放至二楼公众广场。南庭院周围有一座70室的酒店，学生公寓可通过四层北院周围的走廊到达。第六层是北院周围的共用公寓，以及大楼东南翼的工作室公寓。学生公寓只有三个翅膀被抬到第八层。

Commercial and service areas open directly onto the public plaza on level two. A 70-room hotel surrounds the south courtyard, and shared student apartments are reached through access galleries around the north courtyard on level four. On level six are shared apartments around the north courtyard, and studio apartments in the southeast wing of the building. Only three wings of student apartments are carried up to level eight.

共用公寓布置在通道画廊周围。半私密的起居空间反过来又通向独立的卧室，每个卧室都有自己的私人浴室。所有卧室都位于外围，起居空间直接通向院子周围的通道。这个内部庭院的立面完全是由艺术家凯瑟琳·波尔(Catherine Bolle)改造成：Le Chromoscope的单独手绘的纤维水泥面板。

The shared apartments are arranged around the access galleries. Semi-private living spaces in turn lead to the individual bedrooms, each with it’s own private bathroom. All the bedrooms are located on the outer perimeter, with the living spaces opening directly onto the access galleries surrounding the courtyard. This interior courtyard elevation is entirely clad in individually hand painted, fibre-cement panels transformed by artist Catherine Bolle into : « Le Chromoscope ».

工作室公寓布置在长长的内部南北走廊的两侧，贯穿大楼的主翼。为了鼓励学生之间的社会互动，在这条主要的内部通道的各个地方都布置了各种公共空间。双高或单高空间被色彩鲜艳的玻璃板所封闭，延续了凯瑟琳·波尔的“LeChromoscope”的多色主题，冲破了通道画廊中的庭院。

Studio apartments are arranged on both sides of the long interior north-south corridor running through the main wing of the building. To encourage social interaction among students, a variety of common spaces have been laid out at various points along this main internal thoroughfare. Double- or single-height spaces are closed off with brilliantly coloured glass panels, continuing the polychromatic theme of Catherine Bolle’s Le Chromoscope surounding the courtyards in the access galleries.
