Our technological age is transforming societies, and there is an urgent need to rethink and anticipate the contemporary world. This project seeks to define new dynamic forms of organization and programming in relation to its diverse societies, so that we can live and learn together.
Tripoli comes from the Greek Tripolis, so named because it was divided into three distinct parts by the merchants, Tyre, Sidon & Arouad. Like Tripoli, the project is made up of three diverse and complementary entities.
The project respects the existing project of Oscar NIEMEYER while at the same time shaking it up. On the contrary, it interweaves it without copying it, creating a new urban dynamic between the existing and the program. It slips under the existing structure, creating platforms of varying heights that allow users to make the space their own and invent their own story.
Space and time depend on the observer, so the space is informal, there are no rules or fixed models to copy.
– Creation of ecological and cultural tools in relation to the site.
– Production of spaces (places/non-places). Evolution of infinity
Between this platform for the exchange of ideas and the existing site, a layer of circulation intertwines to create a variety of spaces for facilities and relaxation.
The concept has given rise to a vast cultural and economic park for Tripolitans, with various areas intertwined, from the palm grove to the water basins, via the Triple Piazza, with the public taking ownership of the space and experiencing it. Sensory gardens, play areas and educational playgrounds. This center is a meeting place, a cultural exchange point and special events. Space is never properly defined (space-time relationship).
This similar dialogue gives rise to the residential part! Organized between living spaces, vacant spaces and research areas, it slips between the palm grove and the water basins, benefiting from the cool mountain winds to the east. Its solar roof and batteries ensure that the residential building is self-sufficient in energy.
The various underground spaces are protected by an 80 cm thick double skin in which water circulates, forming a “climatic cocoon”. The volume of water that protects and surrounds the project regulates the temperature of the premises, creates electricity via vertical turbines and, throughout the day, lets in natural Zenithal light via the pools. When night comes, the reverse happens, the light from the premises illuminates the pools and they become an urban landmark in the city.
This project contains Tripoli’s rich heritage and future.

SLX is a studio that seeks to be as close as possible to its clients and the project, wherever in the world the project is located. SLX is an independent, multidisciplinary architecture and design studio specializing in transitional quantum spaces architectural design. Like a companionship we are mobile to be able to understand and feel the site & its local inhabitants. In the era of various social, economic and political mutations that our global society is undergoing, the stakes of cities and their suburbs have changed, it becomes urgent to rethink and anticipate the contemporary world! The SLX studio develops new forms of organization and dynamic programming related to our society to condition new ways of living and living together. Far from appearing in the fields of utopia, it is on the contrary with the closest of the expectations and the modes of life that our research is situated.The studio was founded by Stéphane Lacroix in 2008. With two plugs based 1 in Asia and 1 in Europe. The company is culturally diverse with a modest yet ambitious ecological approach to each project @SLX.
