Blueprint 2004
Brief: Landscaping a square and a street, with 10 parking spaces and a depot.

Creation of an urban forest in continuity with the existing infrastructure. Dense, diversified vegetation, resiniferous, coniferous and deciduous trees, evergreens, flowers in constant evolution with the flow of the seasons. In the centre of this forest, a clearing offers an oasis of tranquillity and relaxation sheltered from the pollution of the city, under the shade of huge trees, the smells of nature, the twittering of birds and the breeze in the leaves … all our senses awake!

This urban clearing offers an alternative (and non-competitive) utilization to other nearby squares.

The parking spaces are on the lower ground level under the clearing. Since there is no basement, there is no need to change the existing in situ infrastructure. Over time, the square could be used for other purposes, since the parking spaces would not preclude any future construction.

On the street itself, continuation of the treatment of the Place du Midi: meeting-point, 20 km/h speed limit, design of the rempart, street furniture for pedestrians, etc.
