In Toulouse, in the heart of the Cartoucherie district, the Pôle Médical project has started. This new building dedicated to medical consultation posts and a home for users of the Regional Health Establishment (ERS) will complement the ERS built by the Lion Workshops in 2015.

303 arts research creations, magazine of Pays de la Loire, publishes its special issue 2020 devoted to the curiosities of the region.

While travel is disrupted, a great way to (re) discover places, buildings, women and men who built our territories.

In this issue 161, Sevak Sarkissian presents the work of the mosaic artist Isidore Odorico in the region, notably the Blue House and the Anjou hotel in Angers.

The summary of this special issue here

Ateliers Lion associés was selected to carry out the restructuring of the Palais des Congrès de Nantes. The agency built the Cité des Congrès between 1986 and 1992. The restructuring involves the transformation of building D to make it a café and a coworking space. The project proposes to find a new relationship with public space, the uses of which have evolved since the initial construction of the Cité des Congrès. This transformation, which is being carried out in parallel with the extension of the Cité, demonstrates the potential of architectures to transform themselves to adapt to new uses when their structure allows it and highlights this problem of the permanence / obsolescence couple.

With ECB (construction economics), AREST (structural engineering), SoLab, ex alBdo (fluid engineering, SSI, acoustics) and E2CT (OPC).

Along the Seine and Boulevard du Général Jean Simon, the first two buildings 50 meters away are finished. Comprising family housing, shops on the ground floor and ground floor, activities on R + 1 and early childhood equipment, these programs were designed by Tania Concko for Paris Habitat and by Ameller Dubois for Linkcity and the RIVP. They foreshadow the transformation underway in Bruneseau Nord: erase the break between Paris and Ivry-sur-Seine, by reconciling infrastructure, public spaces and architecture.

In Clermont-Ferrand, in the former wheat market, work has started on removing the partitions and floors. The first volumes reappear, discovering the vaults and the omnipresence of local volcanic stone (Volvic stone). The transformation of the building to house the FRAC collections will begin in April. Opening scheduled for 2021.

Ateliers Lion Associés accompagnied Oppidea and Toulouse Métropole for the presentation of the joint development zone Malepère at the APUMP in Toulouse on November 29 and during the 18th Urban Projects Fair on November 13 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.

Yesterday, we assisted to the inauguration of the operation of 154 units located at the joint between the Bois de Grace and the Cité Descartes combining social and accession!

Following the first extension from 1989, the second intervention involves the construction of a nave in the central axis of the composition involving the main entrance and access to the existing pavilion. At the moat, a large showroom opens on medieval remains. It associates archives and restoration workshops.

It is clear enlargement with the staircase to the left, and the first bridge released from his scaffolding (and directed by Marc Mimram).

Open since early September, the Pôle Régional d’enseignement et de formation aux métiers de la Santé was inaugurated yesterday in the future eco-district of the Cartoucherie.

We have been selected for the phase 3 of Réinventer Paris!

In Poitiers, construction continues. The main facade on “La Place des Armes” is in the final phase. Delivery planned in December, 2015.

Progress of construction that started in November 2013 and which will be delivered for the school year of 2015-2016.

We were awarded the consultation launched by the AFTRP Planning Company, for the mission of urban, landscape and infrastructure development.

We are entrusted with the development of the neighborhood’s public spaces and with the urban and architectural coordination of this neighborhood of about 4000 housing units, a thousand of which should be delivered in 2017.

At MIPIM 2015, the Boulevard du Littoral in the Euromediterranee district won the MIPIM Award for Best Urban Regeneration Project.

Architect : Ateliers Lion – Ilex – Kern et Associés
Developer : Euromediterranée

The Euromed’s film shows the progress in the working areas that have been built in Marseille.

The restructuring plan of the former department store of Poitiers begins with the partial demolition of the building: the elimination of blank facades, demolition of the fourth floor, chopping down of interior partitions.

The general structure of the existing building is preserved in order to house the programs of the project (shops at the ground and first floors, accommodations in the upper floors).

Delivery scheduled for late 2015.

In the presence of Manuel Aeschlimann, mayor of Asnieres-sur-Seine; Josiane Fischer, Deputy Mayor delegated to planning and major projects; Jean-Luc Poidevin, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Urban Turnkey CEO of Villes & Projets; Yann Doublier , CEO of Nexity- Apollonia and Nexity- Seeri; Yves Lion and Claire Piguet, urban architects.

As part of Boulevard du Littoral construction site, Vaudoyer Park offers new playground and relaxation area to Marseille’s unhabitants. Joining the lower and the upper town, this development includes several sanitary facilities networks.

This place of shade and coolness is the real entrance of the Panier district; this garden is a belvedere on the landscape and the Port de la Méditerranée.

The public garden offers a children’s playground surrounded by the vegetation (stem-trees and shrubby beds implantation), and a set of benches facing the open landscape and the interior of the garden.

Professional basejumper and wingsuit pilot Cedric Dumont jumped from the UP-site tower, Quai de Willebroeck, Brussels. Located along the canal, the 42-floors tower is 140 meters high, making it the tallest residential tower in Belgium.

The footbridge leading to the sports fields of École nationale des ponts et chaussées in Marne-la-Vallée was delivered in June.

Along the Vergote Pond in Brussels, works on the UP-Site housing complex are ending. With 42 floors (140 meters), this project includes the tallest residential tower in Belgium (250 apartments). Around a shared interior block garden, the operation also includes building-villas overlooking the Péniches Quay (Quai des Péniches) and an office complex on the Willebroek Boulevard. Symbolic in the Brussels skyline, the UP-site project contributes to the renewal of the canal district.

In the Eastern part of Paris Rive Gauche joint development zone, the operational status of public spaces and buildings sites  is accelerating, gradually bringing Paris and Ivry-sur-Seine closer:

– Completion of the structural works of the building reaching 50 meters, avenue de France,
– Advancement of the different programs, along the Avenue de France and Rue du Loiret.
–  Inauguration of Calcia Cement’s new distribution center, rue Bruneseau

Around the Farhat Hached square, from th Berlier business center.

Last part of the redevelopment of Poitiers’ downtown, the Puygarreau garden was delivered in March and offers to the public area an inside look at private gardens.

The team Ateliers Lion Associés – Iris Conseil is laureate of the competitive dialogue organised by the City of Metz for the conversion of the block Bon Secours, in the Nouvelle Ville district.

Titled Encore en Ville – Dix années de projets aux Ateliers Lion Associés, the monograph has a preface written by Eric Lapierre and texts by Olivier Namias and is now available at Archibooks Editions.

Tracing the evolution of the agency over the past ten years, this book is an occasion to come back on some of the most important projects through photographs, interviews, analysis and thoughts on architecture, the urban life and on the search of the multidisciplinary related to the job of architect.

Following its exhibition at the French pavilion during the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale, then at the Cité du Patrimoine et de l’Architecture in the Palais Chaillot of Paris, the model is now exhibited at the O’Parinor shopping mall of Aulnay-sous-Bois, until February 24th.

For 2014, here is a message of serenity.

Ateliers Lion Associés wishes you a happy new year.
