Demolition Threat: Mirail University Campus
The Mirail University Campus (Toulouse), sickness designed by the well known architect Georges Candilis and built during the 60´s is facing an imminent complete destruction. Being an example of good architecture for educational use, shop it will be a great loss to erase Candilis´s intentions and principles, namely spatial structures, lighting conditions and the simplicity of this architectural masterpiece. It is urgent to act before the complete destruction of the original project.
For this reason, docomomo International would like to express sympathy for our colleagues of DOCOMOMO France, which are struggling to preserve the original project of Mirail University Campus.
