设计团队包括鹿特丹MVRDV事务所，法国建筑师 de Alzua+，还有ADIM Nord发展公司，他们夺得了法国阿斯克新城城市重建计划的第一名。
获胜方案名为“The Beam”，其位置靠近高速公路，旨在成为城镇中心的视觉参考点。一个酒店，办公室还有商铺空间，总面积16100平米的建筑将会建立在加油站旧址上，施工预计在2015年开始。
The team consisting of Rotterdam's MVRDV, French architects de Alzua+, and the development corporation ADIM Nord, has won the first place in an urban renewal competition in the French city of Villeneuve-d’Ascq.
The winning proposal, titled 'The Beam,' will hover over the nearby highway and seeks to act as visual reference point for the town’s center. A hotel, offices, and retail space, totalling 161,000 sq ft, will be built on the site of a former gas station, with construction expected to start in 2015.
阿斯克新城坐落在法国很北的地方，靠近里尔，是一座新城。“The Beam”将会成为新城中心一个大型的标志，而现在这里都是停车位，还有大块的未进行明确定义的绿地。在城市高度来看，总图意在使其更环保和可持续发展，城镇中心的认知感和多样感都会增加。步行区的设置，界定和连接现有绿色空间也是规划的一部分。
Project Description from MVRDV:
Villeneuve d’Ascq is a new town located near Lille in the very north of France. The Beam will be icon of a larger urban generation effort in the town centre which is currently characterised by parking lots, large volumes and undefined green spaces. On an urban level the masterplan aims at a more sustainable form of development by densifying the town centre and adding identity and diversity to the site. The creation of pedestrian zones, and the demarcation and connection of the existing green spaces together also form part of the plan.

主广场上的停车空间将会被新址的274个地下停车位所取代。毗邻的背向基地地块的建筑物会被延伸，以形成都市街区；中心会配有绿色植被部分。TheBeam会在城内高速角落以及通往阿斯克新主广场的服务道路上为城区做前期铺垫。
The parking spaces on the main square will be relocated into a 274 space underground car park on the new site. The adjacent buildings, which face away from the site will be extended to form urban blocks; each with a green patio at its centre. At the corner of the inner city motorway and the service road leading towards the main square of Villeneuve d’Ascq, The Beam will create an address for the town centre on the motorway.

地块地点是少数的可以从下沉的双行道被来往驾驶员看见的地点。方案目前依然在酝酿阶段，办公室，酒店，商铺，总共大约15000平米，还有274个停车位的地下停车场。 ADIM团队MVRDV，跟合作建筑师Jérôme de Alzua在阿斯克新城社区组织的竞赛中击败了其他对手。
The site, one of the few places visible from this sunken dual-carriageway, allows the town centre to be visible to drivers passing by. The project is currently under development and will contain offices, a hotel and some retail space with a total area of around 15,000 m2, and the underground car park offering 274 parking spaces. The team ADIM with MVRDV and co-architect Jerome de Alzua beat four competitors in a competition organised by Commune de Villeneuve d’Ascq.
