Nantes North - Global project
"La Chézine, qui coule du nord-ouest vers le coeur de Nantes, y fait pénétrer avec elle le long de son lit une traînée verte et humide qui disjoint la mosaïque des pâtés de maisons et se prolonge..."
Julien Gracq, La forme d'une ville, 1990
The identity of the city of Nantes, its shape, its specificity are directly stem from the dual device of the valleys and their infrastructural counterpoint on the crests. It is still possible to relate the north neighborhood of Nantes (Bout des Pavés and Chêne des Anglais) to this device that makes the city's identity.
The urban project offers to amplify the green star and thus to hang up the north neighborhoods to the metropolitan territory. To this end a certain number of architectural and landscape devices are suggested then declined by type with the implementation of a located vocabulary for every district, public spaces, architecture and housing.
