Agence de reconfiguration territoriale

Office for territorial reconfiguration

Founded in 2003 and based in Paris, AWP operates on an interdisciplinary platform with a focus on the state of contemporary territories. AWP responds to both public and private commissions that involve architecture, strategic planning, and research (experimentation and teaching) in France and internationally. Our engagement with the built environment has led to a variety of projects involving innovative buildings, urban planning, public spaces, atypical architectural programs, and interventions on complex sites.

With these practices, AWP engages as architect and urban planner in Geneva, London, Basel, Lausanne, Naples, La Dfense, Orly, and Paris.

Nos projets ddifices et despaces publics proposent de nouvelles formes dhabitabilit qui reconfigurent les relations entre public et priv, intrieur et extrieur, symbole et usage. Ces projets articulent les chelles dans lespace mais aussi dans le temps. Les thmes fondateurs sont les lments (lair, leau, la nuit), la mobilit, et les limites (vivant/virtuel, low-tech/hi-tech, ville/campagne). Les ralisations existantes ou en cours dmontrent la volont de donner habiter des espaces qui racontent leur environnement pour en conserver les traces aprs ldification. En ce sens, nous proposons des btiments vivants , dous de mmoire et de sensations, afin de relever le dfi du temps et des changements dusage. Les projets de recherche et dexprimentation pour des architectures temporaires et mobiles sont conduits en partenariat avec des institutions acadmiques et culturelles, des entreprises et des collectivits territoriales. Notre mthodologie interdisciplinaire correspond une crativit en rseau, runissant architectes, designers, artistes et chercheurs du monde entier.

Recherche par des procds exprimentaux

Research via experimental processes

AWP has performed research projects that cultivate innovative and adaptive solutions through multidisciplinary and international expertise. Our projects only differ in terms of context and scale but they all share the same values and visions: hospitality, beauty, an innovative confrontation between symbol and uses and a renewed relationship between architecture and landscape.

This research via experimental processes has produced temporary urban installations and research studies in collaboration with institutions and universities. A unique relationship developed through the intersection of different scales and diverse contexts that ultimately shapes the city. In observing this relationship, the office meticulously explores new and relevant forms of interventions to address extreme scales and unstable territories. Through various modes of investigations, this methodology allows for observation and dissection of the city.

La vie de lagence est ainsi un aller-retour constant entre des pratiques oprationnelles et des activits de recherche/cration, et surtout une hybridation entre ces deux approches.

Notre actualit en 2014 rvle la vitalit de cette interaction : AWP est notamment engage La Dfense o lagence a t slectionne par Defacto pour llaboration du plan-guide de 160 ha visant la mise en valeur de lespace urbain du Quartier dAffaires et de son dveloppement pour les vingt prochaines annes (notamment par des interventions en-dessous et au-dessus de la dalle). LEPADESA a aussi choisi AWP pour lamnagement des espaces publics du Quartier des Jardins de lArche Nanterre et Puteaux sur une surface de 70 000 m2 comprenant la ralisation dune srie de btiments et folies. Carrires-sous-Poissy, AWP est le mandataire dun projet de btiments publics (muse, restaurant flottant, observatoires) et dune dizaine de petits btiments et folies dans le futur parc paysager et rcratif des bords de Seine. Crissier, dans louest lausannois (Suisse) lagence a rcemment remport un concours durbanisme et darchitecture pour raliser le plan et la construction dun nouveau morceau de Ville : 85 000 m2 de logements, activits, quipements publics et privs (cole, htel) ainsi que lamnagement dun grand parc urbain. AWP est frquemment slectionne pour des concours internationaux sur invitation. Le travail de lagence a t publi dans Le Monde, Libration, The New York Times, Wallpaper, Archithse entre autres et intgr aux collections permanentes de muses comme la Cit de lArchitecture et du Patrimoine, du MoMA Museum of Modern Art, New York et du Maxxi Muse National des Arts du XXIme sicle et de lArchitecture Rome. Les trois associs sont par ailleurs rgulirement invits donner des confrences autour de leurs projets.

La qualit fondamentale de latelier consiste donner un sens lassociation et la synergie de multiples comptences tout en llargissant par le profil des collaborateurs interdisciplinaires et internationaux pour rpondre avec force aux dfis de notre poque.

The fundamental quality of the studio is to give significance to the combination and synergy of skills. As such it expands the profile of interdisciplinary and international collaborators and vigorously responds to contemporary challenges.

The life of the studio is constantly moving between operational practices and research activities whilst aiming towards a hybrid of the two approaches.

Evidence of this interaction is revealed in ongoing projects. In La Dfense CBD, AWP was selected by Defacto to lead and develop a 160 ha master plan for the urban spaces of the business district and their transformations for the next 20 years (notably by interventions above and below ground). Additionally, AWP was chosen by the EPADESA to develop the 70,000 sqm of public spaces in the Jardins de lArche district in Nanterre and Puteaux comprising of a series of buildings and follies.

In Carrires-sous-Poissy, AWP is the representative of a project of public buildings (museum, floating restaurant, observatories) and a dozen of small buildings and follies along the Seine. At Crissier, located west of Lausanne, the studio recently won a competition to design the master plan and construct a new addition to the city a 85,000 sqm site with housing, public amenities, a school, a hotel, as well as the development of a large urban park.

AWP is frequently selected for international competitions by invitation. The office has been published in Le Monde, Libration, The New York Times, Wallpaper, Archithse, and their work has been incorporated into permanent collections of museums such as the Cit dArchitecture et du Patrimoine (Paris), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), and the MAXXI - National Museum of the 21st Century Arts (Rome). The three partners are regularly invited to give lectures on their projects in France and globally.

Enjeux contemporains et questions

AWP a structur son approche de lArchitecture, de la Ville et du territoire en identifiant des questions fondamentales qui attendent rponse.

DteRRItoRIALISAtIon: ARChIPeL De LeXIStAntLes annes 90 ont radicalis la tendance au sparatisme fonctionnel quil sagisse de stratgies commerciales, dinfrastructures, ou de la concurrence entre modes dhabiter et de mobilit. Les situations spatiales et sociales qui en ont rsult forment un tat non programm, une condition urbaine dont les caractristiques se dcrivent partir du peru, des usages et des symboles. Pour engager le projet, il faut dchiffrer cette condition matrielle et motionnelle, puis dterminer quel statut lui confrer et repenser la mthode pour en tenir compte.

ASSuMeR LhRItAge MoDeRne (zonIng, InFRAStRuCtuReS, DALLeS, LogeMentS SoCIAuX)Les projets de mutation sont trs souvent confronts lhritage des planifications et des modles de la reconstruction, qui projetaient des chelles de densit que nous connaissons aujourdhui. Comment Re-moderniser ces figures plutt que de les dclarer ineptes ou inadaptes ? Un effort, une traduction, dans un nouveau vocabulaire et vers de nouvelles priorits. Et si ces grands programmes avaient la capacit de tisser les liens dont le territoire a besoin ?

Le DveLoPPeMent DuRABLe LCheLLe teRRItoRIALe : AMBIgutS De LAutonoMIeAlors que les prconisations durables dans lchelle du bti paraissent clairement dfinies, projeter des chelles urbaines dans des paramtres durables soulve surtout des contradictions. Il faut donc proposer une intelligence transversale des processus urbains, pour viter que des typologies anecdotiques ne masquent voire namplifient les contradictions. Rendre autonome des formes urbaines (co-quartiers) ne peut quaccentuer des phnomnes de sgrgation.

LA PARtICIPAtIon: nouveLLeS gouveRnAnCeS De PRojetSLurbanisme est aussi confront la crise des processus dmocratiques. Mais la participation sert plus souvent niveler les projets qu les intensifier. Louverture de la participation plus en amont, mais aussi en aval pendant le chantier, pourrait rendre ces collaborations productives. La gestion de projet par scenarii parallles favorise dailleurs lactivation rcurrente de processus ouverts.

AttRACtIvIt et IDentIt teRRItoRIALe: Du MARketIng LA CuLtuRe PARtAgeLa comptition stant dplace des nations vers les mtropoles, lattractivit de ces ples dintensit devient une cl stratgique de lquation emploi/logement/formation. R. Florida, propos des classes cratives, a notamment point la culture comme levier stratgique. En Europe, le dbat se pose sous langle de lidentit, dans une tension entre marketing et culture. Le succs de manifestations telles que Nuit Blanche, Lille 3000 ou Estuaires marque une nouvelle vision de la culture pour dvelopper les mtropoles avec les habitants.

nouveAuX MDIAS, nouveLLeS PRAtIqueSUne partie consquente de nos actions et relations se dplace dans la sphre virtuelle, fragilisant la notion de territoire, tout en lenrichissant dhybridations. On peut remettre en cause la catgorie despace public comme lieu, au profit du rseau des possibles auquel il donne accs. De mme, les conomies de lintelligence peuvent senvisager dans la sphre urbaine, par de nouveaux accs au savoir en rseau et sa valorisation. Quest-ce quun campus dans un tel contexte ? Stratgies de rematrialisation.

De-teRRItoRIALIzAtIon: ARChIPeLAgo oF eXIStIng The 1990s radicalized a trend towards spatially dividing the functions of the city separating business strategies from infrastructure and from the struggle between modes of living and mobility. It resulted in spatial and social situations of unplanned states an urban condition characterized by ones perception, uses and symbols. To begin a project, one must understand these conditions materially and emotionally, and with this condition in mind, determine a method to utilize.

ReCognIzIng MoDeRn heRItAge (zonIng, InFRAStRuCtuRe, SLABS, SoCIAL houSIng)Projects of urban transformation often inherit the planning standards established by our predecessors; these have shaped the present scales of city density. How does one re-modernize these factors instead of declaring them inept or inappropriate? What if large programs had the ability to attend to what the territory needs: a link between the preexisting and forthcoming developments? A translation that includes a new vocabulary towards new priorities is necessary to tackle this.

SuStAInABILIty At the teRRItoRIAL LeveL: AMBIguItIeS oF AutonoMySustainability outlines for buildings appear to be ostensibly clear; however contradictions surface when urban scales are projected through such parameters. An alternative would be to propose across intelligence of urban processes to avoid anecdotal typologies that masks or amplifies those contradictions. Indeed, making autonomous urban forms (eco-towns) has only further amplified segregation.

PARtICIPAtIon: neW goveRnAnCe PRojeCtSUrbanism is also faced with the crisis of democratic processes. Its application often results in mediocre outcomes rather than projects reaching their full potential. Introducing participation at an earlier stage throughout the process even in construction could provide more productive narratives. A conception of project management as parallel scenario can further benefit projects and produce reoccurring open processes.

AttRACtIveneSS AnD teRRItoRIAL IDentIty: FRoM MARketIng to ShAReD CuLtuReThe focus is being shifted from the nations-states to the cities where the appeal of these intensity clusters has become a key strategy for employment/housing/training. Richard Florida, economist and social scientist, identified a new socioeconomic class creative classes which outlined culture as the driving force of development in cities. In Europe, the issue of identity manifests in a tension between marketing and culture. It is in the success of social manifestations, such as Nuit Blanche, Lille 3000 or Estuaires, that mark a new vision of culture to develop cities with its inhabitants.

neW MeDIA, neW PRACtICeSA significant portion of our actions and relationships occurs in the virtual sphere where the notion of territory is undermined, and all the while enriches hybridization. This emphasizes a challenge to call into question public space as a place, or rather as network of possibilities. Similarly, competitive intelligence can be considered in the urban sphere by new access to knowledge in networks and its potential value. What is a campus in such context? A strategy to rematerialize.

pavillon lanterne norwegian wood lanternsandnes, norvge


Ce projet a t publi et expos dans le monde entier et a t nomin pour le Prix Mies van der Rohe en 2009.

La question de lchelle est au cur de notre proposition pour le centre historique de la ville de Sandnes, capitale europenne de la Culture en 2008, avec Stavanger. La place, relativement modeste, possde une forte dimension symbolique, relaye par la volont de la municipalit den faire un lieu unique et accueillant des activits diffrentes.

La proposition de Lanterne rpond cette attente tant du point de vue de la forme, une maison rinterprte, objet domestique au service dun espace public, que dans ses dimensions volontairement hors dchelle. Nouveau cur battant de la ville, la Lanterne montre la capacit de celle-ci articuler anciens et nouveaux quartiers.

This project has been widely published and exhibited worldwide and was nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe prize 2009.

When Stavanger was chosen as cultural capital of Europe 2008, the Norwegian Wood competitions were launched to promote innovative architecture contributing to make the region an international showcase for innovation and sustainable architecture. This sculptural canopy in wood and glass aims at revitalizing the area, and creating a place where many different activities could

take place: a meeting point, markets, informal concerts and other happenings. A place able to shelter, invite and invent more social events. Since the site is visible from afar, the Lantern was to be experienced from distance and reveal the square. Our ambition was to create a manifesto for public space design : not just a decoration, but an urban strategy.

Plus quune dcoration, cest une stratgie urbaine, une rponse lgante et simple la vitalit de la ville de Sandnes. Une atmosphre inspirante pour encourager les pratiques existantes et pour encourager de nouvelles expriences. Notre ambition tait de rinventer lidentit de la ville partir dun espace public

This public Lantern aimed at providing a space where to enjoy light and weather changes if nothing else takes place. The proposal used the iconographic shape of and old wooden house. By the redefinition of its traditional construction and by making it glow in the dark, a new landmark for the city was created.

emblmatique : abri et signal lumineux, la lanterne est conue comme stratgie de redfinition de la trame des pratiques en revalorisant les continuits pitonnires et en installant un repre la jointure des tissus : quartier rsidentiel de maisons en bois, rue marchande ancienne, station multimodale, centres commerciaux et multiplexes, port en reconversion.

The Lantern proposal displays an open roof of such dimension that it becomes the symbol of the city. This roof is the motive of a house shell: a symbol of the old city upscaled to the new citys dimensions, dealing with the Norwegian wood ancient architecture motives to design a contemporary object.

ci-dessus: extraits du film Norwegian Wood ci-contre: perspective et plan niveau rue lchelle 1:500

above: excerpts from the film Norwegian Wood left: perspective and street level plan, scale 1:500


structure du toit En plus de proposer une forme iconique et reconnaissable, le toit permet une exprience de lespace public sans cesse renouvele pour les passants. Le toit slve vers le ciel et filtre les rayons du soleil travers sa structure transparente. Sous la pluie, les vitres refltent le gris des nuages. La nuit, cest le pavillon entier qui sallume, limage dune vritable lanterne. La structure du toit est compose dun seul et mme lment de bois de 90 x 90 mm en pin lamin, assembl par des joints mtalliques en une double grille homogne, dans laquelle structure primaire et secondaire ne font quune. Cette composition confre au toit une sensation de lgret, dabstraction.

rooF structure As well as having an iconographical and recognizable shape, the roof provides an ever-changing experience for the daily passers by. The roof stretches out to capture the sun; light is filtered through the depth and translucency of the structure. In rainy weather rolling clouds are reflected in the glass. At night, the whole pavilion glows like a lantern. An abstract and lightweight sensation is achieved through the uniform structure, where there is no division between primary and secondary elements. It is a double grid made solely of 90 x 90 mm wood members. Where needed, additional elements are added within the system. The material of the roof construction is laminated pine with steel reinforcement in the joints.

Glass Panels The glass panels are mounted in an overlapping pattern, as in a traditional slate roof. The overlap incorporates eventual movement between the panels. This allows the glass to be mounted directly onto the wooden structure, avoiding the typical steel profiles and substructure. A translucent pattern is printed on the panels, to both capture the light, and let it through to play in the wooden structure beneath. A light, abstract feeling is achieved, adding to the depth and reflection qualities of the whole.

Panneaux de verre Les panneaux de verre sont fixs de manire se chevaucher, comme dans une toiture traditionnelle en ardoises. Ce chevauchement permet non seulement une couverture optimale de lespace intrieur des intempries (vent, pluie, etc.), mais surtout daccrocher les panneaux directement sur la structure en bois. Un motif translucide est imprim sur le verre, la fois pour capturer les rayons du soleil et les reflter lintrieur de la structure.

above: excerpts from the film Norwegian Wood left: detail of the assemblage of the columns, massive oak and steel joints


columns The roof is held up by four groups of columns, creating a flexible space, open for different interpretations and activities. The columns are individual and sculptural, and in contrast to the simple shape of the roof, create different informal spaces. In some places the columns turn into benches when meeting the ground. The columns are withdrawn from the edge of the roof, both to be protected from the rain, but also to blur the sensation of when the users are covered or not.

With inspiration from gothic principles, the continuity of the structure is shown from the ground to the roof. The material is massive oak with steel reinforcement in the joints.

Ground The ground has been designed as a carpet offering the base for the most varied uses. This carpet is made of different samples of resistant concretes, based on different ways of building in this climate.

Poteaux La structure du toit est porte par quatre groupes de poteaux de bois, crant un espace flexible au niveau du sol, ouvert toutes sortes doccupations de lespace public. Chaque ensemble de poteaux est diffrent, et vient sculpter une relation unique lespace qui lentoure, en contraste avec la forme simple du toit. Aux quatre coins du pavillon, certains poteaux se plient lhorizontal et deviennent loccasion des bancs, confrant lespace une vritable dimension de place publique .

Inspire de principes gothiques, la continuit de la structure stend du sol au toit. Les poteaux ont t raliss en chne massif avec des joints renforcs en acier.

The Lantern has been filmed and presented as an exemplary project at the Norwegian Wood Conference in 2008, has been exhibited at the Oslo Museum of Architecture and at the Fondazione MAXXI in Rome, where it was acquired in 2013 for their permanent collection. The Lantern has been nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe prize in 2009. It has been widely published internationally in magazines and books, and as been the object of a monographic book: Brre Skodvin, As Built 06: Lanternen (Pax Forlag, Oslo, 2013).

Most importantly, the feedback from the Municipality of Sandnes and from its inhabitants, the actual users of the Lantern, has been extremely positive. Intensively inhabited, the Lantern has become a familiar object and a reference for its users, symbolizing a new convivial way to live the public realm - unusual, in a northern country.

Le pavillon Lanterne a t film loccasion de la Confrence Norwegian Wood en 2008, o il a t prsent comme lune des ralisations les plus exemplaires. Le projet a notamment t expos au Muse dArchitecture dOslo et la Fondation MAXXI Rome, qui la intgr dans son exposition permanente en 2013. Enfin, la lanterne a t nomine au Prix Mies Van Der Rohe 2009. Le projet a largement t publi linternational dans des livres et des revues, et a fait lobjet dune monographie : As Built 06: Lanternen, Brre Skodvin, Pax Forlag, Oslo, 2013.

Par ailleurs, lappropriation du pavillon Lanterne par la municipalit de Sandnes et ses habitants et utilisateurs est depuis sa ralisation extrmement positive. Habite de manire intense, la Lanterne est devenue un objet familier et une rfrence dans le paysage de la ville : un nouveau symbole pour la convivialit de lespace public - chose pourtant peu courante en Scandinavie.

AWP a mis en uvre la nouvelle vision stratgique pour le quartier daffaire de La Dfense. Lobjectif de ce nouveau plan directeur est de servir de document de rfrence pour lensemble du site (160 ha) en rpondant aux questions souleves par lespace public La Dfense espaces verts, infrastructures urbaines, systme de rue, transport, volution du site.

VERS UN CLIMATDe la rflexion sur une volution du rapport au climat de la Dfense (se protger du vent !), on peut voluer vers une vision gnrale des qualits despace public. Crer des oasis premium sur/sous/autour de la dalle, pour dfinir la Dfense comme crin de nouvelles relations entre nature et urbanit. Le futur ne doit pas saffirmer que dans les architectures : paysagistes, designers, artistes, sont porteurs de nouveaux langages dhybridation dont la Dfense pourrait tre la scne privilgie. La Dfense a un potentiel beaucoup plus important dvolution vers une post-nature urbaine exemplaire.

AWP was commissioned to provide design and implementation guidance for La Defense Central Business District. The objective was to conceive a new strategic master plan for the entire site (161 hectares) that addressed issues of public space green space, urban infrastructure, circulation, transportation and site evolution

specifically as they relate to the 30 hectare slab.

ThE ChALLENgE of ThE SLAbThe project at La Defense is most strongly defined by its programmatic and spatial complexity. This is especially evident in the multileveled nature of circulation, infrastructure, and occupiable space. What appears on the surface as just a slab, is in fact, just a small part of a larger system. The slab, functioning as a hybrid ground, serves at once as the pedestrian walkway, a roof to 6 stories of underground infrastructure, and a wall to surrounding streets all the while floating above a transportation hub. In this way, it epitomizes the relationship between landscape, architecture, and infrastructure. In response, a set of guidelines

above: monographic issue of AA magazine on AWPs masterplan, september 2013left: birds eye view towards La Dfense great axis

proposed by AWP reimagines the slab as a key connector in the site instead of a barrier, maximizes efficient use of the space in, on, and around the slab, and develops a holistic vision for a new cultural and programmatic culture on the site. The new plan strategically links Paris to the CDB, strengthens connections to the surrounding neighborhood, and integrates the underground transportation. The guidelines create a framework under which the CBD can build new towers, remodel extant commercial properties, design spaces for exercise and cultural events, install a network of green and open spaces, expand infrastructure and transportation, and evolve planning structures over the next 20

LA DfENSE, UN ToIT/UN SoL Travailler le motif de la profondeur au sens littral : habiter les parkings, les paisseurs et les liaisons avec le pourtour. Mais aussi au sens dun positionnement moins immdiatement marketing : la Dfense a besoin de simposer comme figure consistante, et pas seulement comme empilement de logiques disjointes, et

concurrentes. Dplier la Dfense dans ses paisseurs. Faire commencer lespace public dans les profondeurs, diffuser cet esprit dans toutes les voies daccs et essayer de trouver des chos dans les halls et les faades des tours. En apportant une attention toute particulire aux marqueurs de liaison et de mise en relation : seuils, repres, correspondances visuelles Le muse, les natures hybrides et les scnes vnementielles peuvent se diffuser en sous-sol.

years. This plan also envisions the long-term evolution of the site and identifies possibilities to extended infrastructure to adjacent neighborhoods. Guiding principles for design include: redefining the ground (through interventions on the slab), reestablishing the grand axis, inhabiting in-between spaces, allowing for a natural invasion, and incorporating shared spaces.

LES TEMPS DE LA DfENSELa nuit comme rvlateur critique de la valeur des espaces public et fil conducteur dun rapport renouvel au grand quartier de la Dfense : nature artificielle, expriences urbaines, scnes, flexibilit temporelle Il y a galement de nouvelles pratiques (avec le stade) encadrer, stimuler et capitaliser. Penser et agir partir du temps, des flux, et des interactions. Il y a par exemple assez de parkings pour absorber beaucoup plus de visiteurs nocturnes que la dalle nen accueille. Une partie cruciale de cette stratgie nocturne doit rester phmre (cf Biennale de design) avant de trouver ses formes privilgies et stables. La nuit

to formulate the relationship between vertical and horizontal territories, a new design strategy is proposed. The surface is cut through, subterranean parts are day-lighted, visual connection is established, and circulation systems are added.

The vision is that in the future, the underground can function as more than a transition route to other destinations, but rather become a destination in itself, a meeting place, and a place for programmed activities.

commence sous la dalle (de manire pjorative dans la pnombre des parkings) et se termine dans les tours (comme sculpture clbrant les grandes enseignes qui les occupent). Cest dans les espaces ouverts quelle est le moins caractrise. Contraste entre la prsence nocturne et la ralit des activits. Lunique bote de nuit a ferm, la terrasse du toit de la Grande Arche ferme avec les horaires de bureaux, les cafs tirent le rideau plus tt que dans Paris et aucun nest conu pour une sociabilit nocturne Les personnels nocturnes dentretien sont par exemple compltement exclus de lurbanit de la Dfense.

EXPLoRINg ThE UNDERgRoUNDBeneath La Defense lay several train and metro lines (metro line 1, rEr A), a highway (A14 route), and a large number of parking as well, but there is little character to these spaces. The plaza is envisioned as the central hub of the project, connecting people to all aspects of their life at La Defense: interface to parking, link to work, access to the stadium, cinema or shopping centre. Multileveled systems pose a number of serious challenges and opportunities for design. On the one hand semisubmerged roadways contribute to a safe and pedestrian-oriented central plaza, yet permeability between levels is often weak. In order

Thus, this axis is the medium to penetrate the greater richness of the site and, in this way La Defense can serve as a model for exploiting the full potential of the underground. In response to this challenging condition of the site, it was necessary to develop the theme of depth in a rather literal sense: creating places for living within the areas now used for parking. Through site analysis and spatial reconfiguring, we were able to re-find 100,000 square meters of underused spaces in between buildings and between level changes that have great potential to link important locations. As part of the interventions first goals,

the potential value of the underground network at La Defense is developed to a maximum extent particularly as it serves as the interface between subterranean parking, metro lines, and the elevated walkway that links office buildings.

MUSE CIEL oUVERTFaire voluer la notion dart dans lespace public, et plus largement celle du mobilier : vers la ville 2.0 et des modes dappropriation partags/interactifs : la dalle est une scne extraordinaire, il faut continuer dvelopper sa capacit accueillir des pratiques culturelles vivantes. Moins que ddifier des uvres sur le mode unique de la sculpture, peut-tre faut-il aller vers une mise en scne artistique des dimensions (Prisme) de ces espaces publics pour y faire surgir des pratiques ou des significations artistiques. La dimension nocturne

de certaines uvres pourrait sinscrire dans le devenir nocturne de la Dfense, ainsi que dans les rflexions sur les volutions ville 2.0.

PRoJECT PhASESThe first phase of the project included analysis and a site diagnostic evaluation. The diagnostic phase was comprised of analysis that resulted in a series of data maps. In the case of plan guide public areas of La Defense, this phase was essential for the understanding of the site. The first task of the study was to create a system of representation, to compile an atlas of public spaces, and gather unpublished data owned by different actors on the site. A series of walking workshops were conceived as a new way to generate knowledge from the site`s operational actors:

Defacto, employees and residents, and other visitors to achieve a sensitive experiential mapping of the visit. These steps helped us read the site and break it down into programmatic typologies and a set of targeted interventions. After the diagnostic phase, a general program was established based on our five principles.

The five principles set out in order of importance were grouped under the title Towards A Climate. This phase was essential to the understanding of the site and also for producing 10 themed books which outlined the different layers of public space of La Defense.

These strategies also helped to structure proposals and formulate a strategy for implementation. The second phase focused on infrastructure, with profound changes to the character of the neighborhood driven by a stronger engagement with public space. Improving wayfinding so that one can take pleasure in walking and driving around La Defense, as one would in the centre of Paris. The ring road will mutate into an urban boulevard; pavements and walkways will be renovated and connections to nearby Puteaux, Courbevoie and nanterre will be improved. As a result, La

Defense serves as a critical link in a larger network of streetscape interventions from one bend of the Seine to the next and between Paris and its surrounding hinterlands.

Defacto has already begun important work to simplify and improve access for road users and pedestrians, upgrade car parking, install a new signaling system on the plaza, a new lighting plan and unify wayfinding, street fittings and advertising signs.

Le site se trouve sur le secteur des Jardins de lArche, vritable articulation de lamnagement entre la Dfense et Seine-Arche. AWP intervient galement sur le site de la Dfense pour une mission de plan-guide des espaces publics du Quartier dAffaires de la Dfense. Le site du projet, dune grande complexit spatiale, est occup en sous-sol par le passage de lA14, de la ligne 1 du mtro et du RER A, en surface par le projet paysager original des Jardins de lArche du paysagiste Gilles Clment et de la Jete de Paul Chemetoff et devra desservir les prochains amnagements du quartier : Terrasses de Nanterre, Stade Arena 92, logements, htels.

Chaque lment de ce projet qui couvre environ 30.000 m2 et inclut une rampe de 600 m contribue une amlioration de lexprience urbaine. La rampe continue fluidifie lespace, pendant que le jardin continu sanctuarise le paysage. En mme temps, les nouvelles folies et la mixit densifient les usages de lespace. Lobjectif principal est de crer une continuit architecturale, urbaine et paysagre entre les espaces nouvellement amnags et les espaces urbains existants.

The site, located near the future Arena 92 in the Jardins de lArche neighborhood, serves as a space for genuine interchange between La Dfense and Seine-Arche. The urban planners and designers at AWP are also responsible for a guide plan for Defacto that will enhance the urban space of La Dfenses business district.

The project site is spatially very complex. The A14 route, metro line 1 and the RER A run underground, while above ground are the existing Jardins de lArche landscape project and Jetty. The aim is for the scheme to support the upcoming urban planning changes to the neighborhood: Terrasses de Nanterre, the Arena 92 stadium,

residences and hotels.

Each element of the Jardins de lArche project, which covers approximately 70,000 sqm and includes a ramp nearly 750 m-long, contributes to an improved urban experience. The continuous and fluid ramp allows for a more fluid space, while the extensive garden encourages a re-thinking of the existing landscape as a sanctuary, a place that should be protected. New follies, multi-purpose spaces and small-scale buildings increase and activate the possible uses of the site.

UN SITE MAJEUR DU GRAND PARISLe projet est une rponse aux enjeux du site : recrer de lurbanit exceptionnelle sur un site dlaiss entre les Terrasses de Seine-Arche et la Dfense ; faire un lieu de vie attractif et rayonnant lchelle de la Mtropole Parisienne ; raliser la couture urbaine et larticulation avec les quartiers environnants et la Dfense ; renforcer les liens avec le coeur de la ville en fluidifiant lespace ; rvler et valoriser larchitecture des btiments dans un paysage urbain harmonieux.

Il sagit dun espace public majeur du Grand Paris, qui va activer la ralit de la relation de Seine Seine en la ponctuant en son milieu. Cest ce qui doit primer sur toutes les logiques prives des lots, voire mme pntrer la logique de ces lots.

Au plan sensible, nous partons dune relation diurne et nocturne au site, la recherche de la formulation dune nouvelle intensit de paysage, qui devienne une image cl du Grand Paris. Il faut envisager ce projet avec lambition dune place de lOpra, puisque lArena est une nouvelle typologie de salle de spectacle. Mais cest un site extrmement contraint, la fois par son exigut, la prsence de deux uvres signes ayant valeur de patrimoine, et par les volumes de public attendus dans les jauges maximales : une partie du design est donc virtuelle au sens de lumineuse, sensible, interactive, temporaire

A MAJOR GRAND PARIS SITEThe principal objective is to create an architectural, urban and landscaping continuity between the newly developed and existing urban spaces.

Central to the project are the following goals: recreate an exceptional urbanity on a neglected site between the Terrasses of Seine-Arche and La Dfense; create an attractive and lively space on the scale of the Parisian metropolis; generate an urban culture and communication between La Dfense and the surrounding neighborhoods; reinforce the ties between this area and the heart of the city, by improving circulation and fluidity; reveal and give new value to the inherent architecture within a harmonious urban landscape.

This is one of Le Grand Pariss major public urban spaces. The main priority is that the site creates a link between two sections of the Seine, asserting its presence at their meeting point. This linking superceeds any private or local issues about the space and perhaps even influences the way these issues are addressed. We approached the site by feeling it out in its nocturnal aspect, searching for a new intensity of landscape that can become a key image for Le Grand Paris.

We are approaching the project as one might approach a place de lOpra: Arena 92 is a new type of concert hall. The site is, however, full of constraints, because of its exiguity, the presence almost on site of two signature heritage works (Gilles Clment, Paul Chemetoff & Marc Mimram), and because of the huge number of visitors expected.

A part of the design then may be virtual, a luminous, sensitive, interactive, temporary presence

Notre vision consiste dvelopper une continuit spatiale qui soit lvnement majeur, avec un minimum dlments spars (3) : un grand parvis contemporain, des espaces de flux mettant en valeur la Jete et les Jardins de lArche, et un vocabulaire de liaison qui se dcline dans les diffrentes situations, comme un appareillage stylistique qui va signer le site du sceau de laccessibilit et de la modularit spatiale et temporelle (kiosques, folies). Cette continuit spatiale est la condition dune intgration harmonieuse et stimulante des nombreux petits objets urbains que le programme du site appelle.

Our vision is to develop spatial continuity with as few individual elements as possible, to bring the numerous small urban projects into an integrated, harmonious and stimulating whole (3): a large, contemporary plaza; flux zones that highlight the Jetty and the Jardin de lArche; and a common vocabulary across the project, such as spatial and temporal modularity in kiosks and follies, that makes the area accessible to all.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION As a strong link between La Defense and Seine-Arche, the Jardins de lArche are located at the point where multiple neighborhoods meet: La Defense to the east, Les Groues and the Faubourg de lArche to the north, the park Andre Malraux to the south and, to the west, the Terrasses that extend Pariss historic axis to the Seine. On a site that covers eight hectares, this new neighborhoods development benefits from the construction of Arena 92, a multipurpose stadium, destined to become a center of urban life that offers a venue for the hospitality industry, residences and ground level space intended for leisure activities and urban services.

The Etablissement public damenagement de La Defense Seine Arche (EPADESA, Public Establishment in Charge of the Development of La Defense Seine Arche) heads the studies and implementation of one of the major urban projects of the Parisian West. The 564-hectare perimeter of the Operation dIntert National (OIN, National Interest Operation) includes the cities of Courbevoie, Garenne-Colombes, Nanterre and Puteaux. The fact that this site encompasses Europes premier business district, which is due for regeneration and of the Seine Arche renovation and development project, accounts for the high level of national interest. The latter project, which is structured around 20 terraces that will extend the historic axis, is already under way. This area is intended to become home to future transportation infrastructures: Grand Paris Express, LGV train station for the Normandy lines and the continuation of Eole to the west.

poissy galore, Muse et folies dans un parC MuseuM and follies in a parkCarrires-sous-poissy (78)

Le projet prvoit la construction dun Muse des Insectes et de lEnvironnement, dun restaurant et dun observatoire panoramique ainsi que dune dizaine de kiosques et de folies dans le parc des Bords de Seine Carrires-sous-Poissy.

Le paysage du parc est exceptionnel, par son emplacement reconquis par une nature entre-deux (terre/eau, friche/ville, nature dfaite/refaite), par les puissances mtropolitaines qui vont sy articuler et par les raccordements locaux que le projet va tisser avec lexistant en cours de densification.

Notre lecture du futur parc consiste y dchiffrer le passage potique dun bras de la Seine larrire du parc : cest ce flux (dbord) qui active une bande dinteraction entre ville et nature. Dune certaine manire le projet de parc rend le terrain un paysage fluvial, o lon se dplacera en lisant des chelles de crues.

Si le parc est plac sous une symbolique fluviale, la typologie prsente sur site des maisons-bateaux, barges et cabanes de pche simpose : modes de construction immergs dans cette nature. Nous dessinons un processus dhybridation entre ces modles flottants et larchtype de la maison de banlieue;

The series of pavilions with different public functions and programs are part of a future 113 hectare large public green space along the Seine river, in Carrires-Sous-Poissy, at the end station of the RER line A and close to the renown Villa Savoye from Le Corbusier. The Park designed by the Paris based landscape architects Agence TER will be a public park and ecological showcase for local residents and a leisure destination for people living in and around Paris.

The competition brief included the construction of a visitors center, of a restaurant (guinguette), of an observatory plus about a dozen smaller infrastructure follies with different uses.

Similar to the popular wooden preschool toys in form of building blocks made out of colorful wood, this collection of pavilions and small infrastructure follies is based on a modular wood system, repeating and combining different sizes and angled timber frames. This approach allows for interesting and unusual constructions, enabling a wide range of possible variations with a very limited number of elements, while at the same time staying very flexible for future adaptions and during the construction phase. This will result in unique atmospheres and spaces for each of the pavilions and infrastructure follies. In addition to that, its a relatively low priced construction method enables the integration of local building know how and local companies.

The site of the project is an exceptional one, for its location along the Seine river and for its in-between, dual nature (land/water, city/sprawl, wilderness/domesticated nature). The presence of barges, fishing huts and houseboats, which have been so far inhabiting the site has been a powerful source of inspiration. On the other side, the site boundary is characterized by suburban nondescript housing pavilions.

The design springs from a process of hybridization between these two existing habitat models: the floating barge and the archetypical suburban house resulting in a new typology emerging in the park and dealing with the sites memory and identity both spatially and socially, whilst providing a contemporary and forward-looking response.

By working along residential neighborhoods and along the river, we are invited by this project to come inhabit a large urban room worthy of Paris tradition of great terraced boulevards. This very active strip of land is made up of continuous docks, a large mooring space for barges, pontoons, lookouts, observatories, cantilevered terraces

These small, furtive constructions must stimulate the flow of people over the entire length of the park, and towards the water and city, as well as provide facilities for viewing the landscape: framing/unframing. They will bring an inspirational atmosphere, to encourage new experiences. We want to suggest windows for

pour organiser la rencontre entre deux systmes dhabitation existants de part et dautre du parc. Maison + barge = maison barge = folie ! Plutt trapus sur la limite, ces lments se redressent au centre de la bande active pour devenir des personnages capables de voir vers la ville et le parc. Dans un contexte de mutation autour du parc, ces chelles de maison joueront peut-tre aussi un rle de mmoire de ces formes dhabitats surburbains lgers qui sont en train de disparatre sous la pression foncire. Raconter cette identit plus large du site, cest prenniser une capacit accueillir tous les publics, y compris les anciens riverains de la friche ou les pcheurs.

Au plan constructif, toutes ces architectures sont dclines partir du motif dun cadre qui dit la fois fentre et

maisons-barges . Ces dmultiplications dun mme lment doivent permettre chaque difice dexister plus comme paysage que comme forme pleine : une existence qui a sa place dans un paysage subtil. Le jeu chromatique entre bois brut gris (bois flott) et de couleurs intenses dcolores, ou les effets de rsilles/dentelles viennent souligner cette ambigit artificiel/naturel particulirement susceptible aux variations de lumire et de vgtation. Les diffrentes interventions sont poses sur des socles de bton sur lesquelles elles doivent trouver leur quilibre, comme des quilles mare basse, sur lesquelles se dessinent des lignes de flottaison (lignes de continuit dans le paysage). Une tension dlicate entre raffinement et conomie de formes et matriaux, qui vient souligner par contraste la puissance de nature en reconqute du parc.

sharing this new kind of landscape, and bring the surrounding city to life by intensifying certain elements of the landscape plan: inscribe it within an urban strategy. The idea is to create conditions for viewing the space, to allow crossovers that are adapted to the buildings uses, users, to the evolution of their surroundings.

As part of the primary intents, the architectural intervention allows visitors to view the existing park and Paris from multiple vantage points, to accommodate a new range of uses, and to evolve with the surroundings over time.

INVENTAIRE DE CADRES19.10.2011

DES CADRES ET DES BARGESLe concept que nous avons choisi prvoit une dclinaison dun nombre limit dlments en portique (ossatures structurelles en bois), disposs selon des squences et des angles variables qui gnrent des volumes et des ambiances uniques pour chacune des mergences. La proposition rpond cette attente tant du point de vue de la forme, une maison rinterprte, objet domestique au service dun espace public, que dans ses dimensions volontairement hors dchelle.

Une atmosphre inspirante pour encourager les pratiques existantes et pour encourager de nouvelles expriences.

Notre vision de larchitecture pour ce programme : proposer un prisme pour partager la ville, et la faire exister en intensifiant des lments de programme pour inventer un nouveau paysage. Crer les conditions du regard, et des croisements adapts aux usages, au quartier en devenir.

FRAMES AND BARGESThe existing presence of barges, fishing huts and houseboats, combined with adjacent suburban subdivisions was a powerful source of inspiration. So too, the impending threat of rising water levels, combined with falling within the Seines flood zone, encouraged an extraction of boat-themed typologies. The proposed architectural design is thus the outcome of the hybridization between two predominating architect
