The team was contracted for a project management for the public spaces of the Bouloie Temis Campus, covering an area of 148 hectares.
Their project is based on four axes:
- Play on the complementarity of the milieus;
- Anticipate climate changes; - Work on the materiality of soils and their continuity;
- The campus as a showcase of the university's know-how and a place of experimentation.
They developed a charter for public spaces to ensure coherence and unity of the various facilities as well as to promote local resources. A first phase of public spaces has been completed.
The Chrono-Environnement laboratory and the Botanical Garden team are involved in the project approach. The open spaces are thus the support for experiments that are the subject of pedagogy for a wide audience, the actions carried out on the landscape and the reinforcement of ecological frameworks are evaluated by a policy of regular counts on fauna and flora.
The team was awarded the 2024 Equerre d'Argent "Public Spaces" prize for this work to rehabilitate the Bouloie campus.
