A transalpine infrastructure as a catalyst for reshaping a transit territory Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is an Alpine town whose story is told first and foremost through its landscape: nestled within the Arc valley, backed by the Vanoise and Grandes Rousses massifs, it has always served as a gateway between France and Italy. The arrival of the Lyon-Turin high-speed rail line fits into the historical and geographical context of this region. landForma landForma The new international station translates this long-standing vocation into architecture and public space, reshaping the city’s entrance around a new focal point befitting the scale of the project. Designed to support thirty years of infrastructure transformations, the faci... More

Mobility as a driver of urban transformation Stretching 10 kilometres between Paris and Orly, the T9 tramway does not merely draw a transport line: it reconfigures a territory.  Cécile Septet By treating the vegetated platform, stations, pavements and intersections as an integrated system, the project restores a high-quality public space across six local authorities — greener, more permeable, more liveable. The transport project thus extends beyond the trajectory of its route, from town to town.It is also read through all the layers of public space. Cécile Septet More

From functional radicality emerges a new green and cultural framework for Toulouse What can productive architecture offer?In south-west Toulouse, the reconstruction of the Waste-to-energy plant becomes the catalyst for a broader urban intervention : burying the industrial facilities to free up land and open up views, extending the metropolitan green corridor, and creating a new place for living and culture at the heart of a district in transition. Three inseparable ambitions — landscape, architecture and civic — combine to transform this infrastructure into a new part of the city, as much as a facility supporting Toulouse’s energy transition. landForma More

Giving the city and its inhabitants a space where everyday life meets the event Porto-Vecchio is a town of opposing elements: the upper town and the sea, the salt marshes and the open waters, natural geography and the geometry of the port. It is within this duality that the marina extension project takes shape: first as a gesture of subtraction, excavating the seabed to bury parking underground, then freeing up the surface for an Ortu Marinu, a terraced marine garden that becomes a belvedere, promenade and living space for the residents of Porto-Vecchio all year round. Crafted from pinkish earth-toned concrete and textured like the sedimentary rocks of the gulf, the architecture is an extension of the layered Corsican landscape. Geo-histo... More
