LaSalle Waterworks Building / Affleck de la Riva architects

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The history of civilisations and cities are intrinsically tied to the presence of water. Ancient civilisations grew up in fertile river valleys and the development of cities depended on the ready availability of water for both potable use and public sanitation. The infrastructure used to control and distribute water in the urban environment has a long and distinguished architectural history.

Square des Frères-Charon / Affleck de la Riva architects

Nico Saieh — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000

The project uses a simple, refined, and minimalist architectural language to create a dialogue between circular and cylindrical forms including a garden of wild grasses, the vestiges of the windmill and a park pavilion in the form of a belvedere-folly. Complementing these gestures, the lighting scheme proposes a chromatic garden that alludes to the changing seasons. Providing Identity, Civic Pride, and Generous Public Space: Built as a response to the urban revitalisation of a disaffected industrial sector, Square des Frères-Charon is an entirely new public amenity in a space that is more than 150 years old. The new square provides identity, civic pride, and generous outdoor areas for all-season public use.
