Team: Jennifer Shu, Sonia Leclercq

Location: Paris, France

Overview: Between the lines

A line for pedestrians under the line dominated by cars.A wooden line, image of our time, after the lines in concrete and steel.An elevated line with definitive character to highlight the river landscape and what is already there, like an archeological site of modern times.A line with branches that connect it to the neighboring site and the river banks in conversion. They extend the promenade to a performance venue, the remains of a viaduct, a park, a train station. A line with a warm atmosphere composed of a simple assembly of wooden blades. This system accommodates lighting fixtures, vegetation, furniture and equipment aimed at the pedestrians passing by. A line that extends into two underground venues: the West Catacomb Bar & Gallery and the East Pool Spa.
