Specialist water architect Baca Architects is working with designer Villes & Paysages and engineer Egis
UK firm Baca Architects has been selected to develop a masterplan for a 拢500m development in Paris.
The practice, which is working with designer Villes & Paysages and engineer Egis, is on one of three teams commissioned to develop detailed masterplans for the 37-hectare site on the banks of the river Seine.
A winning masterplan will be selected by the Seine Amont Public Development Agency towards the end of the year.
Robert Barker, director of Baca, said: 鈥淭he site faces many sustainable development constraints that are common challenges to other cities across the world - flooding, contamination, occupied plots, access and lack of identity 鈥� with a need for high density development for housing and jobs. It鈥檚 a very high-profile urban territory with great potential, which plays to many of Baca鈥檚 key skills.鈥�
