Passage through a Glen in the Plessis Robinson

The creation of a passage between the town Centre and the Garenne wood offers the chance to express its geography through a "cross-section of the glen".

Curiously as we landscape one site, the territory disappears. We take the gamble, here, to find back what establishes the territories identity. We try to show with this project that it is possible everywhere and for all scales to reactivate what makes the locations quality.

This passage allows to link the system of parks of the Hauts de Seine.
