Lyon : Place d’Armes and Sardou Parvis

The square was designed as a vast, open and versatile space to walk around or to host any kind of event or activity. It is a place of military history, where ancient parades and garrisons took place. The square is a theatre for all kinds of spontaneous activities and public events all year round and the unique playground  is now an urban landmark in Lyon.

Zelkova trees were planted in order to guarantee the renewal of the existing vegetation, and specially designed furniture, lighting and signage was developed. A sensitive topographical design creates a gentle slope and difference in levels, helping with water management on site. The walls are used as seating or can also be perceived as a series of urban scenes. The different kinds of floor coatings (stabilized soil, poured concrete) create flow through the site.
