Agriquartier Gagarine-Truillot

Located in Ivry-sur-Seine, the new ZAC "Agrocité Gagarine-Truillot", designed by the Archikubik agency, reaffirms the historical agricultural vocation of the site. Inherited from a vegetable and horticultural past, this memory will feed the urban project to come.

At the entrance to the ZAC, along the railway track, the Saint-Just block - historically oriented northwest / southeast - will form a new urban front. With the deconstruction of the Gagarine city, it will host a mixed program combining housing, offices, shops and a nursery.

An urban composition with several strata

The project offers several levels of reading:
-The soil, cultivated and living, connects and irrigates the site through an agrest landscape.
-The places, open places of proximity, act as forums accessible to all.
-The sky, finally, opens up on new fertile horizons made of productive and rural roofs.

A permeable and active macro-lot

The choice of a mixed and open macro-lot promotes dialogue between public space and private space. This urban permeability allows views to be opened towards the hearts of the island, while ensuring the continuity of pedestrian paths and landscape sequences.

The place, generator of proximity

An unusual and remarkable device, the square is a central element of urban scenography.
Where the streets, sentes and venelles structure a network aimed at irrigating the neighborhood of the public to the intimate, the squares assume a more specific role: to generate situations of conviviality on a local scale.

Shared places to live differently

By transfiguring the traditional uses of halls and entrance airs, these squares invite shared practices:
Urban agriculture, composting, shared workspaces, EPP (Shared Private Spaces)... So many places designed to encourage exchange, cohabitation and the creation of social ties within the neighborhood.
