ORDENER-POISSONNIERS

Behind the long wall of Ordener Street is the site of the former Dépôt de la Chapelle, the former base of Gare du Nord, well known for having hosted Grand Train during the summer of 2016, and in 2015 Ground Control. This vast site of approximately 5 hectares will be transformed into a new district in line with the strategic vision of the City of Paris over the north-east of Paris.

Integrated into the urban renewal project initiated on the expanded Paris Nord-Est sector, the site is part of the major transformation movement that foreshadows the Paris metropolis of tomorrow. This ambition translates concretely into the implementation of development operations (International Chapel, ZAC Pajol, ZAC Charbon Chapel, etc.) carrying public spaces generating social ties, as well as urban programming capable of renewing virtuous and concerted way neighborhoods of the 18th, 19th and 20th arrondissements.

Because of its location, the future district "Paris-Ordener" is at the heart of the urban development issues of the capital.

The project proposed by the agency Franklin Azzi Architecture is based on four essential points:

. DIALOGUE WITH THE COMPLEX URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Reconnect neighborhoods Red Castle / Golden Drop with Poissoniers / Simplons

Recreate connections on rue Ordener and rue des Poissoniers by crossing the existing buildings on the ground floor.

From this porosity, create a flow of traffic inside the site by fetching the bottom of the plot to reconnect to the city.

Create a built front along Ordener Street. Keep alignment on the street while maintaining horizontal flaws

Weave a green weave from the surrounding green spaces (Louis-Baillot square, Andrezieux garden, Henri Sauvage garden, square rue des Poissoniers)

Assume the railway landscape and open up on the unobstructed view offered by the bundles of rails.

Create a high signal at the crossing of the bridge, rails and Stephenson Street.

. MANAGEMENT OF LEVELING IN THE PUBLIC SPACE

. ENHANCING RAILWAY HERITAGE

To approach the railway landscape in a poetic way: to highlight the heritage of the site by the valorization of the buildings and the remarkable elements which occupy it

Preserve and enhance the structures present on the site by integrating them into the exterior layout: rails, pylons and gantries support catenary, lifting cranes, trenches of carts, substations transformers, ...

Smart reuse of existing elements in street furniture.

From the diagnosis, identify the halls whose conservation is relevant from an urban, structural and heritage point of view.

. HABIT THE HALL: 4 POSSIBLE TYPOLOGIES

The Hall Covered / Open denuded of its vertical walls, the hall is more than a cover largely ventilated which can shelter all sorts of outside activities

The Umbrella Hall with closed boxes. From a technical point of view, the principle of boxes in the box can save the economy of a global heat treatment throughout the hall.

The Closed Hall: this solution allows to clear large free spaces on the ground and in height.

The Elevated Hall: in addition to allowing a surface gain to accommodate additional programs, the elevation highlights the old as new through a game of confrontation and contrasts.
