Project description by Triptyque
located in Huningue - a French city on the border with Germany and Switzerland - is part of one of Europe's most dynamic regions and is an extension of the city centre
The architectural and landscape design of the district was guided by three main premises: to open up Huningue to the River Rhine
and to offer an exceptional quality of life to its residents
French-Brazilian firm Triptyque Arquitetura designed the Link Building with a view to improving the local quality of life
Inserted in the first phase of the neighbourhood's development
the building was completed in 2023 with a clear focus on contemporary architecture and sustainability
with a 4.5-meter-high portico and stores on the first floor
the building establishes a continuous visual and physical connection between the internal spaces and the surrounding environment
providing a unique experience for residents
the building's structural grid resembles the floating platforms of the Rhine River
opening up to the world through the design of the slabs and facilitating the gradual transition between public and private areas
The project also incorporates sustainability principles
such as optimizing the use of materials and a precast structure that reduces environmental impact and improves working conditions on the construction site
These features highlight Triptyque's commitment to architectural innovation and respect for the environment
contributing to the positive evolution of Huningue and offering a more integrated and sustainable urban environment

about the significance of the torch and it's for peace and I felt it all the time
The relay began from the European Parliament and then passed in front of the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe
the Alsatian Museum and the Notre Dame gothic cathedral before finishing at Place Kléber
A post shared by Olympic Wrestling (@unitedworldwrestling)
The Olympic Torch Relay continued its voyage through eastern France with a distinctly European tone
In addition to putting the spotlight on the gems of Alsace

which were celebrated during an exceptional collective relay on the Three Countries Bridge in Huningue
Another collective relay took place in Strasbourg
Focken carried the torch at the start of the three country bridge for 250 metres
The starting point of Focken's run was in Germany while her finish was in France

Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis is carrying out a major expansion of its biotechnology centre in Huningue
the expansion project will increase the facility’s monoclonal antibody (mAb) production capacity by 70%
Investment in the Huningue facility is aimed at capitalising on the strategic importance of its location in France
The expansion will allow the facility to meet the anticipated growth in demand for products already manufactured at the site
A total of $100m will be invested in the project
the Huningue facility is fully good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliant and is Novartis’ main site for producing mAbs for the global market
Since the start of operations at the facility
Novartis has invested €215m ($240m) to equip the plant with advanced facilities and specialised infrastructure
The facility initially produced a single type of antibody and has since become one of the world’s biggest producers of active substances by mammalian cell culture
It exports around 80% of its production to the global market
Active substances produced by the facility are used for the composition of drugs indicated for the treatment of asthma
renal transplantation and anti-inflammation
The facility also produces active substances required for Novartis’ clinical studies
Clinical batches of new mAbs in development are also produced at the facility
The facility was expanded in 2011 to enable the production of anti-rejection drugs for kidney transplants
Novartis invested a further €6.2m ($6.9m) in equipment and infrastructure upgrades to increase the facility’s production flexibility and capacity
the Huningue facility manufactured active ingredients equivalent to three million doses
The expansion project will extend the main production building and install cell culture bioreactors. It will also add a purification line
which will allow multiple drugs to be produced simultaneously
The production facilities are expected to be fully installed by January 2017
with commercial activities expected to start in December 2018
The expansion is expected to generate 100 jobs at the site
The Huningue facility is equipped with 13 500l bioreactors for producing the antihistamine Xolair (omalizumab)
including bags for media and buffer storage
Disposable bags are used for the intermediate storage of products as well as their final storage
including disposable connectors and tubing
The facility is equipped with a DeltaV™ digital automation system supplied by Emerson Process Management
Installed in 2005 and upgraded between 2008 and 2010
the system features an integrated wifi network and mobile operator stations
and provides process and plant information to the facility’s operators and maintenance crew
The system also helps improve the efficiency and flexibility of production processes across the plant
US-based technical professional services firm Jacobs Engineering Group has been awarded the engineering
procurement and construction management contract for the project
The expansion of the Huningue facility is part of a major overhaul of Novartis’ operations. Overreaching operations and generic competition have eroded the company’s revenues
have fallen considerably due to generic competition
A focus on cutting costs and increasing the production of biosimilar products has been Novartis’ strategy over the last few years
The company has closed more than 24 of its manufacturing facilities and is streamlining its research and development (R&D) activities
These moves are expected to reduce its annual costs by $1bn by 2020
Novartis announced its decision to invest €800m ($890m) in R&D over a three-year period
Novartis has also increased its focus on producing biosimilars and plans to apply for regulatory filings for at least 11 biosimilars by the end of 2017
