Project Carré Sénart Retail Center - Sénart

On an urban no man's land, setting foe the last new town in the greater Paris region, to set the tone for the future organization of the city.

A simple geometric form, the square, unites the two main programs in the form of two complimentary triangles: retail and mall, and car park for 4,500 automobiles. A curvilinear mall acts a continuous loop of fluidity, while the car park is organized through a sequence of incisions of greenery. The facades of the complex, continuous, yet slighlty varying in terms of transparency, materials, hollowness and solidness, set the tone for the future urban developments.
