- Urban design
The Emile Dubois / Maladrerie social housing district in Aubervilliers will soon be undergoing major urban transformations: NPNRU, Grand Paris Express station, ZAC Fort d’Aubervilliers, downgrading of Avenue Jean-Jaurès to an urban boulevard.
Since 2015, the urban planning studio Approche.s has been working in this neighbourhood to address the issues of inclusivity and women’s well-being in public space. In 2020, an initial signposting route, designed with Clémence Passot, will encourage people to walk between the district and the Fort d’Aubervilliers.
In 2021, Studio Idaë takes part in the project to complete the pathway with seating and lighting.
The furniture designed for the site is grafted onto the existing structure and features silhouettes designed by Clémence Passot. It is made of lacquered folded sheet metal and wooden slats.
The lighting poles have been modified by the installation of RVV (Red Green Violet) spotlights. The goals was to make the pathway more dynamic and enhance the feeling of comfort and safety.
Participatory workshops with children from the Émile Dubois neighbourhood, led by Atelier Approche.s, to paint the lighting poles.
