The competition organized by the town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice called for the design of an architectural feature that would symbolize the entrance to the park and would try to bridge two distinct landscapes, encouraging walkers to pass from one through to the other. The proposed site is at the meeting point of two very disparate components: an urban sports ground and a park, both linked by a footbridge. The two environments, the constructed and the natural, are physically separated by the Versoyen River.

The Sucre Boulevard is an urban renewal project located in the town of El Hatillo, located southeast of the city of Caracas. A place declared a national monument for its historical value and preservation of colonial architecture. An area with enormous tourist potential, but with severe deficiencies in connectivity and services.

Waterline Park / Lab D+H

July 24, 2023 Pilar Caballero 0

The challenge facing Waterline Park is its unappealing nature: a long narrow gutter surrounded by residential housing blocks. Despite its lack of visual appeal, it is still a precious public space available to residents. The landscape seeks to transform this uninviting space into an engaging public area for community use and gathering. The design approach focuses on activating the site by introducing water, creating a myriad of water features that change this site into an enjoyable public space for residents to engage in community activities. The goal is to bring new life and vitality to the area, strengthen social cohesion, and create an inclusive community space that fosters a sense of belonging for all residents.

High Line – Moynihan Connector / Skidmore, Owings & Merrill + James Corner Field Operations

July 19, 2023 Paula Pintos 0

The High Line – Moynihan Connector—led by Empire State Development, Brookfield Properties, and Friends of the High Line—is part of a long-standing vision to create safer, more enjoyable pedestrian access, connect people to transit, and seamlessly link public open spaces and other community assets in the neighborhood. As the latest chapter in the decade-long evolution of Midtown West in New York City, including the redevelopment of Penn Station, the adaptive reuse of the Farley Building into Moynihan Train Hall with offices above, and the creation of Manhattan West and Hudson Yards, the neighborhood has emerged as a new mixed-use destination knit together by a series of civic spaces that will now be connected to the High Line—one of the most important public spaces and pedestrian paths in New York City.

The Arches / Collectif Parenthèse

The Arceaux district in Montpellier is highly representative of the quality of life that reigns in the suburbs close to the historic city center. Its market, its shops, its cafes, its architectural heritage and its schools make it an ideal space for the development of children. The only downside: it is an unclear public space that poorly delimits motorized travel from soft mobility with, in its center, a gigantic open-air car park.

Eungbong Terrace / YZA

July 14, 2023 Hana Abdel 0

The site is located in Eungbong-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and is the lower space of Eungbong Bridge that crosses Jungnangcheon Stream. The space is the center of the residential area, with apartments clustered around it and being connected to Jungnangcheon. However, there was a one-lane road that split on both sides, and the dead-end space under the overpass was very dark because of the steep slope. The steep slope was trimmed in a cascading fashion and a sports facility for residents was created, but it remained a dark and isolated space because residents did not like to visit it.
