In our case, the main question was to integrate the decreasing neighbourhood activity back to the city life. The industrial site of Montières is, today, in the inner centre of Amiens. Even if it was not the case originally, the city has grown for years and has developed all around the site. The two entities (city and activities) have not been able to mingle, at all, throughout the years and a clear border has been drawn and can be seen as soon as you arrive on the site. To us, it was clear that the main action would be to rub out smoothly this border integrating the city into Montières’ neighbourhood, which is still in a partial activity. We wanted to transform Montières into a living area in continuity with the centre: through the creation of the diversification uses and the implementation of animated places (market place, sports and leisure areas), housing and small offices areas, as well as the development and redefinition of the waterfront.
