The structure of the Toulouse landscape is strongly determined by the superimposition of geographical and historical entities. The river, the canal, the ancient city ramparts have formed together a landscape where water, infrastructure, and trees combine, to the point where today an exceptional amount of complicity exists between the vegetal system present and urban forms. Reintroducing a coherence and logic to the organization of the city center and its public spaces is therefore carried out through the singling out of strategic and specific intervention sites. These redeveloped public spaces form a hierarchical network connecting remarkable heritage sites. The design of our project (using high-quality materials and dense vegetation) contributes to the overall coherence of the city centre's layout. Our developments were awarded the 2016 Urban Challenges Prize and were finalists for the 2022 European Prize for Urban Public Space.
