The Passerelle des Arts designed by Marc Mimram Architecture Ingénierie and Fabeck Architectes, stands out as a singular project due to its innovative use of materials, thoughtful integration with its environment, and commitment to sustainability. This footbridge, which spans a precious forest, serves as a connection between a rapidly developing district and the Modern Art Museum of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Its design is not only a response to functional needs but also reflects a deep respect for the surrounding landscape. The bridge is positioned so as to protect all the existing trees, as if to demonstrate care for its setting and a highly respectful attitude towards what was already there.

Between the two stations of Pleyel and Saint-Denis Stade de France, the Franchissement Urbain Pleyel provides an opportunity to create a public space at the heart of the city that, beyond its functional link, becomes a place of habitation, transit, but also a place of relaxation, residence, development of urban pleasures, and attention to the magnificent panorama that the railway river opens up to the horizon. The aim was to transform this functional link into a true place, an urban space that is appropriable, livable, and generous, making the most of the site's unique conditions without denying them, to create urban components, places of enjoyment that establish the bridge as a real piece of city infrastructure, a new focal point for the Landy Pleyel neighborhood.

When the landscape designer Michel Corajoud put forward his plan for improvements to the Roland Garros site for the international tennis tournament, his intention was to open it up, creating a link with the city. This necessitated opening up an extensive public space and the construction of a new court accommodating 5,000 visitors in the adjacent garden where not long before some poorly constructed greenhouses had been added. The garden is notable not for these greenhouses, but rather for its fine botanical hothouses designed in 1898 by Jean-Camille Formigé, and which were naturally never under threat.
