Project
The EPADESA (Etablissement Public d’Aménagement de la Défense Seine Arche), the Defense Seine Arche urban planning public agency, awarded the project for the design and urban planning services of the Groues District to a group of designers led by the architect Mathis Güller. The objective of this project is to provide the different sectors of this district with common urban goals in space and time with the arrival of new transportation infrastructures like EOLE in the horizon.
The Groues district is located in the intersection of the Seine-Arche and the intertown North-South axis. This district will be directly connected with the one of La Defense and will provide additional functions to it. Furthermore, the Groues development will serve as exit of Nanterre’s 11th quarter and will be the centre of other urban spaces under transformation (Les Terrasses, le Cœur du quartier, la Garenne Colombes, the university, …).
