Above: Perspective view of Le Corbusier's Palais des Congrès with level four exposed, superimposed with an interior detail of OMA's Library for Jussieu.

As a "three dimensional network", Jussieu does indeed greatly elaborate the 'tectonic plates' of the Palais des Congrès, however, the Corbusian promenade architecturale paradigm of sequential ascent through 'forest', profane base, inside/outside box, and ultimately to luminous heights, which the Palais manifests, does not readily translate at Jussieu.
