"The project is located in the Quartier de la Piscine in Petit-Quevilly, south of the Rouen metropolitan area. Situated on a former industrial site, the plot lies at the heart of a fragmented territory, divided by the Sud III expressway, which has long disrupted the urban continuity between the historic center and the eastern neighborhoods."
"Situated on a former industrial site, the plot lies at the heart of a fragmented territory, divided by the Sud III expressway, which has long disrupted the urban continuity between the historic center and the eastern neighborhoods. Until recently, the site read as a disparate assemblage: parking areas to the north, an urban boiler house at the center, dispersed public facilities to the south, all enclosed by a series of physical barriers - fences and ball-stops - which accentuated the fragmentation of the space."
The project occupies the Quartier de la Piscine in Petit-Quevilly, south of the Rouen metropolitan area. The site sits on a former industrial parcel within a fragmented urban territory severed by the Sud III expressway. The expressway has disrupted urban continuity between the historic center and eastern neighborhoods. The parcel previously comprised a disparate assemblage: parking areas to the north, an urban boiler house at the center, and dispersed public facilities to the south. The site was enclosed by physical barriers, including fences and ball-stops, which accentuated spatial fragmentation and limited connections across the area.
