Abstract
Dette speciale præsenterer et design for den i dag uudnyttede Place Mazas Square i Paris’ 12. arrondissement. Målet er at styrke social bæredygtighed og gøre bystrukturen mere robust, mens byen gennemgår en økologisk omstilling. Projektet bruger en multiskala-tilgang—fra by og nabolag til bygningsniveau—til at forbinde stedets iboende potentialer med de omkringliggende forhold på en respektfuld måde og bygge videre på Paris’ eksisterende energier for at skabe nye relationer mellem aktiviteter og brugere. Forslaget samler området om to hovedgreb: et Neighbourhood Hub og et Food Hub. Neighbourhood Hub’et kombinerer boliger med delte rum og funktioner, der understøtter hverdagsliv og fællesskab. Food Hub’et rummer en Bouillon-restaurant og et drivhus i tæt forbindelse med et urbant landbrug, så madproduktion, madlavning og byrum bindes sammen. Tilsammen skal disse programmer styrke fællesskabet, skabe diversitet og inspirere til mere bæredygtige vaner. Gennem hele projektet arbejdes der med en arkitektonisk-tektonisk tilgang—altså en tæt kobling mellem arkitektoniske idéer og den måde, ting konstrueres og detaljeres på. Løsninger er udviklet og vurderet ud fra funktionelle, tekniske og æstetiske hensyn, så struktur og form forstærker hinanden og skaber en helhed, der er mere end summen af delene.
This thesis proposes a design for the currently underused Place Mazas Square in Paris’s 12th arrondissement. The aim is to strengthen social sustainability and make the urban fabric more resilient as the city undergoes an ecological transition. The project uses a multiscale approach—looking from the city and neighborhood down to the building scale—to connect the site’s existing strengths with its surroundings in a respectful way, building on Paris’s existing energies to create new relationships between activities and users. The proposal centers on two main elements: a Neighbourhood Hub and a Food Hub. The Neighbourhood Hub combines housing with shared spaces and services to support everyday community life. The Food Hub includes a Bouillon restaurant and a greenhouse closely linked to an urban farm, bringing food production, cooking, and public space together. Together, these programs are intended to foster community, create diversity, and encourage more sustainable habits. Throughout, the project follows an architectural-tectonic approach—that is, it joins architectural ideas with how things are constructed and detailed. Design choices were developed and evaluated for their functional, technical, and aesthetic qualities so that structure and form reinforce one another and create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
