Europan 14 Aurillac

runner-up

Team Point of View

Our project proposes to reconcile and revitalize the historic public space uniting the two banks of the Jordanne river.
We suggest building a ‘silo car park’, south of Gravier, to free the public space of cars. It becomes an iconic facility and provides a multitude of urban services through an inhabited ‘epidermis’: vertical garden, platform of activities, multifunctional stage.
On the Engie site, the strategy is based on the expectations of future users. The challenge is to define a program together, based on the exchange between professionals, schools and local actors to imagine a shared city based on local and direct production.
This co-constructed project offers a Panoply, a toolbox for the new “rurban” citizen motivated by the desire to be active.

Jury Point of View

A complete and detailed proposal for an evolving project that allows a variety of uses and activities by proposing an architectural solution to handle the organisation. The proposal is clear, particularly the principle of reversibility and parking-lot adaptability, which is a central topic for the Aurillac site.
