Demi-Lune sector

The presented project is a study for the Demi-Lune sector, entitled “A Tactile Environment.” It is part of a comprehensive 30-year master plan that extends La Défense’s carbon ambitions for adapting to climate change.

The Demi-Lune sector, covering one and a half hectares out of the 15 hectares of the overall master plan, is the last “empty” space at the heart of the business district. However, it remains invisible and inaccessible. It is an interstitial, single-purpose space dominated by road infrastructure that is now being called into question, leaving little room for human and non-human life and becoming increasingly exposed to climate hazards, ultimately raising concerns about its own resilience.
