Ensemble immobilier de 40 logements Les Jardins de la Lironde . Montpellier

ECDM . photos: © Benoit Fougeirol

Située entre l’avenue Pierre Mendès-France et l’avenue du Mondial 98 de Montpellier, la ZAC Port Marianne est issue de la volonté de la municipalité de dessiner une cité jardin à proximité immédiate du centre-ville, facilement accessible grâce aux nombreuses infrastructures de transport (axes routiers majeurs, tramway, réseau de pistes cyclables). Associé à plusieurs architectes, Christian de Portzamparc a ici imaginé un grand parc de 7 hectares duquel un ensemble de 11 ilots représentant 1900 logements émerge. Le projet des Jardins de la Lironde est un de ces ilots, et, par cette localisation et cet environnement exceptionnel, bénéficie ainsi d’une accessibilité vers le centre-ville tout en offrant les avantages d’un environnement naturel idéal. Au cœur même de la ZAC, le vallon du ruisseau de la Lironde dans lequel est situé le projet propose une topographie particulière qui, associée à une végétation environnante éparse, permet une configuration en ilots indépendants jouissant d’un panorama unique sur la ville et ses alentours.

Nuestra propuesta para el Nuevo Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporáneo, propone una infraestructura que permite crear las condiciones básicas de un intercambio activo entre la propia infraestructura flexible, el contexto exterior y los artistas, programadores y visitantes, difuminando los límites entre ellos y otorgándoles el protagonismo activo. Es decir, no tanto un "contenedor" autónomo e impermeable sino una "infraestructura" conectada y permeable a diferentes "inputs".

The two-floor wooden construction lies directly above a yard with an roofed entrance area which curves in an abrupt slope. The circumferential and vertical silver fir facade not only serves as a filter, but also almost imperceptibly directs views to the carefully selected outlooks. The narrow, slightly and both-sidely bent ground plan follows both the course of the road and slightly bends the garden side towards the south.
