Today, the neighborhood of Val Fourré, in Mantes-la-Jolie (France) faces the biggest urban change of its story. Bordered by the forest of Mantes, it was built in the sixties- near the Seine, in front of Vexin’s hillside. A town planning scheme made it possible to link the city of Mantes la jolie with the ones around, converting major roads into urban boulevards. 80 % of parkings initially private were moved to public area which gives more space.

The analysis and research made on the teaching of the child and his perception of space work have enabled us to develop a program highlighting a dedicated early childhood space. The generous space of almost 1900m2, yet conscious of every detail, is divided into three parts: a plot, a raised area for adults and a disbursed central area for children.

To mark the 54th birthday of the twinning of the cities of 'Asnières-sur-Seine' and 'Berlin- Spandau', the city of Asnières is creating a mail leading up to a future kindergarten – a mail is a large pedestrian path lined with trees and plantations in an urban environment. The mail 'Berlin- Spandau' is innovative in terms of landscape design being inspired by German principles which include maintenance, materials, and living spaces.

The framework of the regional garden show Papenburg 2014 enabled the redevelopment and redesign of the city park as well as its functional adaptation to current requirements. The new park design supports its transformation: having been a nearly transparent transit space, the new park now serves as a central element of Papenburg’s city due to a modern activation of the area by adding new contents ...

From a parking area to a space for inner-city life – for many years, the Schlossvorplatz was not a part of public life, but the Schlossvorplatz of today is an important component in the city’s urban structure. The circular structures’ two inner courtyards provide citizens with an expansive and appealing green area.

Topotek 1

Heerenschürli serves as a hybrid sports complex and public park, giving the neighborhood facilities for organized sports as well as general leisure activities. A public square with seating and a restaurant are integrated into the complex; the lawns themselves are also public - openly accessible during the off-hours of the local athletic clubs.

The power of this project is based on an intelligent answer to describe something which is not. The monastery, to which the project is dedicated, didn't survive to the present day, so Topotek 1 had to figure out how to translate it's invisible characteristics to the language of landscape. A modest and beautifully measured height difference suggests a volume had been there. Furthermore, the consequent contrast between scenic panorama and minimalistic shaping add to the aesthetic tension. As if this contrast would reflect the one between Arcadian representation of nature and modesty of the life in a monastery. Perhaps. It definitely activates the imagination of the visitor, boosting the experience of the site hence making it more memorable and interesting.

The Sechseläutenplatz (Sechseläuten Square) is part of the overall project 'Opera House, Opera Parking and Sechseläuten Square' whose aim it is to enhance the public space between the Bellevue and the Opera House. The basis for the transformation of the former Sechseläuten Ground to the Sechseläuten Square was the political decision to replace the parking space in front of the Opera House by an underground parking.

The planning of the open spaces is based on the urban planning compositional principle: public promenades and a semi-public square with a base, supporting the buildings above. As a result, the square has become an integral part of the overall composition and part of the building base. The colour scheme and texture of the materials plays a significant role ...

On the site of the concentration camp Esterwegen, built in 1933, a memorial was set up in memory of all fifteen camps in the Ems region and their victims. None of the above-ground construction elements were still standing. For this reason, “tree parcels”, with the dimensions of the former barracks were cut out of the red oaks planted in the fifties ...

Gridgrounds exceptionally introduces humorous attitude in all the seriousness of a modernistic neighbourhood, precisely by playing around with the 'old' elements all neighbourhoods of this era were full of; grid manifestations, concrete, steal based play equipment etc. This intervention makes a statement that not much effort is needed to effectively correct mistakes of the past, for example like breathing some play in the tiresome grid of trees.
