Designing space through levelling
Rodin Hill is a complex site both in terms of morphology and history. Mostly contextual, the project integrates the different elements that have shaped its identity to reveal and enhance them.
By reshaping the site and freeing up its heart, our project makes urban development possible while respecting its landscape and history. The presence of partially collapsed former quarries (45 metres deep) has enabled us to position a large park at the heart of this future district. It is an extension of the Rodin Museum park 35 metres above. The site's memory and identity are thus preserved, revealed and amplified. The combination of horizontal plateaus - which provide a view into the distance - and planted plateaus allows us to resonate with the very uneven topography of a unique site that had previously been degraded. Urban development then took shape on the fringes of the site. It matches the rhythm created by the arches of the old viaduct that runs along its edges. The buildings are organised in such a way as to offer a view across this remarkable site.
