Bacalan Block / COSA Colboc Sachet architectures

Paula Pintos — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The industrial buildings occupying this site are the result of former production processes. Their vestiges now appear as a coalescence of objects of varying geometries whose meaning escapes us. Thus, within the Bacalan block, the Maison des Ecluses contains eight silos 36 meters tall. No longer in use, ivy has crept across them, eating into the concrete and discoloring it over time.

Danube Vert Car Park / COSA Colboc Sachet architectures

Andreas Luco — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 10:00:00 +0000

At the intersection of avenue du Rhin and rue Alfred Kastler, îlot-I, fronted by Danube Vert, marks the entrance to the Strasbourg eco-neighborhood and raises questions about changes in transport modes and the future role of the car. The eco-neighborhood has lofty ambitions: no parking in public space but two silo car parks located on either side of the district. Moreover, no assigned parking spaces, but dynamic space sharing between visitors, daytime residents (workers) and night-time residents (inhabitants), which creates a point of urban dynamism, encourages green travel by bicycle or tram, and reduces the acquisition cost of the apartments. To protect the block from the impact of traffic, the car park structure forms a barrier on the busiest intersection.

Carried by two agencies, four heads, and even more hands, « the universe of the Léonard de Vinci high school project resonates with our research, our respective ways of writing a project. »

Casden Banque Populaire headquarters / COSA Colboc Sachet architectures

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 10:00:00 +0000

The architecture of a company’s headquarters contributes to its identity. Casden is a cooperative bank, established immediately after the war by teachers who wanted to pool their savings in order to help a colleague’s son to buy a home. Its identity is one of sharing and solidarity. Its architecture should reflect those values while at the same time conveying the solidity of a banking institution. It should be rigorous, uncomplicated, straightforward, domestic or even gentle, a welcoming place for clients unfamiliar with the architectural codes of international finance.
