The ideal campus is being invented today

Digital technology has revolutionised access to knowledge, which is now widely disseminated. This could have induced a fear that the spaces known as “campuses” would become victims of planned obsolescence. However, campuses have succeeded in redefining their added value by bringing together new audiences and providing a greater variety of uses. Far from turning into parks filled with university buildings cut off from the urban environment, the campuses of the future will combine places of study, research and work, but also provide living spaces or even become urban neighbourhoods.
