The northern district of Bagneux was essentially used as farmland before being inhabited by large apartment buildings erected in the 1960s. The extension of line 4 and the creation of line 15 will position Bagneux in the Greater Paris area. What prosperity can this positioning bring? What identity can it create? Can this project generate a new centrality for the city in a fragmented urban context? What can it bring to the inhabitants? What urban planning and architecture could symbolize this renewal and make it remarkable?

ONE PLACE central focus of the project. The Stations block is divided into 3 lots that will be built around a large square that will become a place for sharing and connecting.
THE GARDENS The landscaping of the square by a collection of landscaped islets and passageways, makes it possible to find a human scale. These gardens are as many places conducive to urban uses but also educational aids, through the collections of trees and plant species they collect. All of these gardens form a green valley as a living environment for the whole district. The height of the surrounding dwellings allows its inhabitants to take advantage of this new vegetal context. On a local scale, these multiple gardens are as many places conducive to dreaming and contemplating nature.
THE CROSSINGS The necessary connections between the subways and the environment, to facilities, shops and housing entrances are intersected by a series of gardens like mini boulevards. These pathways make it possible to cross the space simply and smoothly. Pedestrians who use them are free to divert from these axes of flow to enter the gardens they cross. The nature of the soil of the paths reflects the sky above them, reminiscent of the material of the smooth facades of architecture.
