Runner-Up – Stamping Ground

Stamping Ground

AUTHOR(S) — Laurent Lustigman (FR), Clément Maître (FR), Robinson Neuville (FR), Morgane Champetier de Ribes (FR), Ana Vida (ES), Architects, urbanists TEAM POINT OF VIEW — For the development of the former VDO, “Stamping ground” proposes to sanctify a linear natural space of approximately 60m wide on a territorial scale in order to preserve the wild landscape that has been built over more than 60 years. In parallel, the intensification of the fringes with mixed programs of variable density and typology allows to balance the land between built and non-built space. These two actions, associated with a positive reading of the existing structures and resources, make it possible to propose several initiatives that facilitate relations between the different site actors in order to enhance an ecosystem on the scale of the former VDO. This project takes advantage of the legacy of the 20 th century and the processes in place to reactivate the urban metabolism. JURY POINT OF VIEW — The project proposal is balanced: it preserves the ecological quality of the site while reinvigorating the economic and urban qualities of the existing business parks. By intensifying activity on the edges, it is possible to overcome the contradiction between developing and caring for an area.
