Redevoloping Lille

The Residence

The Industry

The Wall














































































































--
A charrette on a rainy day takes our tiny but neatly organized group to the outskirts of Lille. We are to redefine the boarders which exist in the abstract ideas of the city planners to create a new identity of the space. Bridging the canal to the historical defense wall is plan one. To do so, a mere excavation of the wall must be done. This shall open a wondrous space past the highway to prey on the landscape.


--"Like a foundation island between the Bay Bridge 
this space becomes a bridge for the river, the trees and the wall."--
