An eco-neighbourhood is emerging on a brownfield site on the outskirts of Strasbourg. At its eastern entrance, COSA is responsible for the coordination of the Block I project and for supporting DEA architectes and Denu & Paradon architecture in the design of the apartment buildings. COSA is also developing a mixed-use residential and office building, a 340-space overground car park and the central area of the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To protect the block from the impact of traffic, the car park structure forms a barrier on the busiest intersection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The building embodies the new urban priorities for the handling of the car: the dynamic sharing of parking spaces between visitors, day residents (workers) and night residents (inhabitants) made possible by the emergence of the \u201csmart city\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The car park building plays its role as a cog in the workings of a hidden mechanism whereby spatial planning is unavoidably and irremediably conceived in terms of the private car. Its architecture is a frugal interweave of steel-faced concrete enhanced with glass. The interplay of reflections, the beauty of the obsessively repeated pattern of ironwork assemblages, imbue this building, despite its purely functional character with a marked identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
