Projet Paysage: 在拉瓦尔，一片昔日的石化工业废弃地如今已恢复了昔日的自然景观。

曾经承载着工业痕迹的土地，如今水流畅行无阻，地貌引导着水流的方向，树木净化着空气，生物多样性正在重新占据一席之地。

该项目不仅仅是占据这片土地：它还充分利用其生态潜力，以这片土地的历史为起点，推动可持续的变革。

Projet Paysage: In Laval, the landscape restores a former petrochemical brownfield.

Where the ground once bore the signs of industrial use, water now runs freely, landforms direct its flow, trees refresh the air and biodiversity is reclaiming its place.

The project does more than simply occupy the land: it harnesses its ecological potential, drawing from its history as the starting point for a sustainable transformation.

“康弗朗斯市民空间”根植于一种综合性的理念，从一开始，建筑与景观就共同构思而成。在与卡丁·朱利安事务所的合作中，团队通过跨学科的视角重新构想了这个场地，将其视为一个集聚会、社交联系和亲近自然于一体的场所。

在这里，景观建筑学充当着生态、社会和气候的驱动因素。它规划用途，收集雨水，缓解热岛效应，并重新连接起生命系统。该场地的设计旨在迎接生命，为野生动物栖息地提供支持，使其逐渐重新占据修复后的区域。

景观并非装饰：它是项目的支柱，是成为城市生活的一种必不可少的、富有弹性的、极具人性化的基础设施。

Espace citoyen des Confluents is rooted in an integrated vision, where architecture and landscape were conceived together from the outset. In collaboration with the firm Cardin Julien, the team reimagined the site through a transdisciplinary lens—as a place for gathering, social connection, and engagement with nature.

Here, landscape architecture serves as an ecological, social, and climatic driver. It structures uses, captures stormwater, mitigates heat islands, and reconnects living systems. Designed to welcome life, the site supports wildlife habitats that gradually reoccupy the restored areas.

The landscape is not decorative: it is the backbone of the project. The living fabric becomes an essential, resilient, and profoundly human infrastructure.

康弗朗斯市民空间将一处昔日的工业棕地改造成充满活力的市民中心，在这里，自然长期塑造着社区生活。如今，一座图书馆、文化空间和市政服务设施构成了一处公共建筑群，其间遍布着步道、休憩区和一个活跃的交通网络，将周边区域连接起来。

该项目的设计灵感源自这座前石化厂特有的转型过程，以一种逆向的动态方式与场地互动，重新营造出有利于环境恢复的条件。项目位于拉瓦尔市圣弗朗索瓦区和杜韦纳伊-东区的交汇处，旨在应对两大关键挑战：弥补长期以来当地设施的不足，同时恢复这片脆弱区域的生态能力。

Espace citoyen des Confluents transforms a former industrial brownfield into a vibrant civic hub, where nature shapes community life over the long term. Today, a library, cultural spaces, and municipal services form a public complex crisscrossed with pathways, rest areas, and an active mobility network connecting neighbouring districts.

Inspired by the transformation process specific to the former petrochemical plant, the design engages the site in a reverse dynamic, recreating conditions that support environmental recovery. Situated at the intersection of Laval’s Saint-François and Duvernay-Est districts, the project addresses two defining challenges: remedying a long-standing lack of local amenities while restoring the ecological capacity of a vulnerable territory.

水是该设计的核心。一个相互连通的蓄水池网络管理着场地内 100%的雨水，并规划了空间内的活动流线。这一可见且融入步道的表面水系有助于逐步建立丰富且具有弹性的生物多样性。

300 多棵树、野生动物走廊以及特意保留的自然植被共同构成一个不断演进的生态系统，为居民提供了在成熟的城市环境中体验密集绿色空间的难得机会。在这里，自然成为一种鲜活的框架，塑造着用途、社会关系以及归属感。

这里曾是森林，后来被开垦为农田，在 20 世纪 70 年代和 80 年代又建成了巴斯夫的化工厂，给这片土地和周边地区的面貌留下了深刻的印记。在拉瓦尔市完成去污工作后，该场地仍是一片破败的棕地，见证了深刻的工业变迁。

设计策略并非抹去这段历史，而是选择扎根于其中。肥沃的黏土土壤、靠近湿地以及场地的天然蓄水能力，为基于再生的方法提供了依据。

该项目塑造了一处有人居住的景观，在这里，生态动态既支持了生物多样性，也促进了社区生活。

在现场，水文既是一种动态特征，也是一种引人深思的元素。由透水步道、排水沟和相互连通的蓄水池构成的网络，能够收集雨水和径流水，并将其缓缓引入景观之中。

这些盆地起到了真正的湿地作用，为野生动植物提供了栖息地，促进了生物多样性。只有在暴雨期间，溢出的水才会被引向市政雨水系统，从而防止洪水泛滥。由场地开挖材料塑造的地貌有助于这一水文策略的实施。

Water forms the backbone of the design. A network of interconnected retention basins manages 100% of on-site stormwater and structures the flow of activity in the space. Visible and integrated into the pathway, this surface hydrology fosters the gradual establishment of a rich and resilient biodiversity.

More than 300 trees, wildlife corridors, and intentionally preserved spontaneous vegetation form an evolving ecosystem, offering residents the rare experience of a dense green space within an established urban setting. Here, nature becomes a living framework that shapes uses, social relations, and a sense of belonging.

Once forested, and later converted to agricultural land, the site hosted a BASF petrochemical plant during the 1970s and 1980s, leaving a lasting mark on the land and the identity of the area. Following decontamination by the City of Laval, the site remained a degraded brownfield, a testament to profound industrial transformation.

Rather than erasing this history, the design strategy chose to root itself in it. Fertile clay soils, proximity to wetlands, and the site’s natural capacity for water retention informed a regeneration-based approach.

The project gives form to an inhabited landscape, where ecological dynamics support both biodiversity and community life.

On site, hydrology becomes both a dynamic feature and a contemplative element. A network of permeable pathways, drainage trenches, and interconnected basins captures rain and runoff water, slowly directing it through the landscape.

These basins function as true wetlands, fostering wildlife habitats and promoting biodiversity. An overflow directs excess water to the municipal stormwater system only during heavy rainfall, preventing flooding.The landforms shaped from the site’s excavated material contribute to this hydrological strategy.

种植了 25 个品种的 300 多棵树，同时，棕地植被和生物廊道为一个有弹性的生态系统形成创造了条件。

甚至停车场也是这种理念的一部分。其三角形的形状减少了矿物足迹，并限制了不透水的表面。沉淀井在雨水进入盆地网络之前捕获了道路径流中的颗粒物。随着时间的推移，树冠会逐渐覆盖这片空间，缓解热岛效应，并确保向周边自然空间的渐进过渡。

该项目提供了在成熟的都市环境中体验森林般景观的难得机会。一座人行桥和两个观景台让人们能够进入水池区域，并欣赏到现场保留的参天大树，而鸟舍则为野生动物的活动提供了支持。水声和风声逐渐取代了车辆的喧嚣。

这片空间旨在不断演变，变得野趣横生。它的美并非一目了然，也并非永恒不变。每个季节都会改变人们的感受。质地、植被层次和微生境共同营造出一种感官体验，让人平静下来，放慢脚步，在城市密集和过度刺激的环境中获得片刻的喘息。

More than 300 trees across 25 species were planted, while brownfield vegetation and biological corridors set the conditions for a resilient ecosystem to emerge.

Even the parking lot is part of this approach. Its triangular shape reduces the mineral footprint and limits impervious surfaces. Sedimentation wells capture particles from the road runoff before the water enters the basin network. Over time, the tree canopy will grow to cover the space, mitigating heat islands and ensuring a progressive transition to the surrounding natural spaces.

The project offers the rare experience of a forest-like landscape within an established urban context. A footbridge and two observation platforms provide access to the basins and the mature trees preserved on site, while birdhouses support wildlife activity. The sounds of water and wind gradually replace the hum of traffic.

The space is designed to evolve, to become wild. Its beauty is neither immediate nor unchanging. Each season transforms perceptions. The textures, vegetation layers, and microhabitats create a sensory experience that calms and slows, offering a moment of respite amid urban density and overstimulation.

从最初阶段开始，Projet Paysage 和建筑公司 Cardin Julien 就密切合作，设计了一个公共空间，在这个空间里，建筑与景观通过真正的跨学科方法相互呼应。这种合作并非仅仅出于形式上的调整，而是源于塑造公共空间的共同责任。

这座建筑是焦点所在，而景观则引导着人流和场地的节奏。其生物气候朝向——沿东西轴线布局以优化被动式太阳能利用——与外部路径的布局以及场地的水文系统相互作用。开口、自然光和户外空间相互协调，以确保室内外的无缝衔接。

该项目获得了 LEED v4 金级认证，展示了综合设计如何能够塑造出将环境性能、空间品质和强烈的地方感融为一体的市民活动中心。

除了公共设施之外，康弗朗斯公民空间还充当着城市催化剂的角色。作为拉瓦尔市 2035 年战略愿景的一部分，它有助于一个长期孤立区域的重新开发，加强了与周边社区的联系。

该项目为处于转型中的地区提供了一个范例：将景观视为至关重要的基础设施，能够修复土壤、支撑社区生活，并在长期内融入城市发展。

From the earliest phases, Projet Paysage and architecture firm Cardin Julien worked closely to design a civic space where architecture and landscape respond to one another through a truly transdisciplinary approach. This collaboration stems not from mere formal adjustments, but from a shared responsibility in shaping public spaces.

The building serves as a focal point, while the landscape guides movement and the rhythms of the site. Its bioclimatic orientation—aligned along an east-west axis to optimize passive solar gain—interacts with the layout of exterior pathways and the site’s hydrological system. Openings, natural light, and outdoor spaces are coordinated to ensure a seamless continuity between interior and landscape.

Certified LEED v4 Gold, the project demonstrates how integrated design can give form to civic hubs that unite environmental performance, spatial quality, and a strong sense of place.

Beyond public amenities, Espace citoyen des Confluents acts as an urban catalyst. Part of the City of Laval’s 2035 Strategic vision, it contributes to the redevelopment of a long-isolated area, strengthening connections with surrounding neighbourhoods.

The project offers a model for territories in transformation: a landscape conceived as essential infrastructure, capable of regenerating the soil, supporting community life, and embedding urban development over the long term.
