Microfiltering Shield: Another short-term intervention conceived by Frédéric Charles Aillet (Sempervirens agency), a member of the Mobility Workshop team led by Devillers & Associés, involves planting embankments with species capable of capturing fine particles thanks to their hairiness. Connecting these embankments to a misting system and a blower would guarantee the effectiveness of this microfiltering shield, developed in collaboration with the Scientific and Technical Center for Building (CSTB).

The Dauphiné
Aix-les-Bains – From February 9th to 23rd, residents of Aix-les-Bains were able to participate in a consultation launched by the municipality regarding the various rehabilitation projects for the former national thermal baths. In 15 days, 4,689 votes were tallied, and the lower version of architect Callebaut's project was the most popular, with 62.89% of the vote. It beat the higher version by the same architect (13.35%) and the "high" project by the Viguier firm (8.80%). The consortium and the City will now begin a working phase with government agencies. "Like any project of this scale, this project is likely to undergo amendments, improvements, and changes before reaching its final form," the city emphasized in a press release.

The Greater Paris Journal - The Roads of the Future of Greater Paris - Sempervirens Landscape Architects
The Mobility Workshop Project Management: D&A architect, urban planner, landscape architect (lead consultant); Setec (engineering firm), 6-t (research firm), APRR (highway operator). Experts: Atelier des Giboulées (communication), Logicités (logistics), Transversal (land strategy), Sempervirens (landscape architect), Philippe Vasset (writer), Martin Etienne (illustrator), Jean-Pierre Orfeuil (economist), Francis Beaucire (geographer), Antoine Picon (historian), Alain Bourdin (sociologist), Laetitia Dablanc (logistics), Mathieu Chassignet (engineer), Jean-Marc Offner (urban planner). The winning teams of the international competition initiated by the Greater Paris Metropolitan Forum, whose work is on display at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal until October 13, each propose, in their own way, to break with the absolute dominance of the car on the major road network of the Île-de-France region and transform it into multifunctional and decarbonized routes. L'Atelier des mobilités (D&A architects), Holos (Richez associés), New Deal pour les voies rapides du Grand Paris (Seura architects), and Shared utility networks (Roger Stirk Harbour partners) responded to the international competition on the future of the Île-de-France road network, launched by the Greater Paris Metropolitan Forum, with a series of proposals focused on usage, multimodality, new road technologies, and the gradual phasing out of internal combustion engines. A review of the projects in pictures. L'Atelier des mobilités proposes a comprehensive strategy, aimed at both users and freight traffic. The team therefore recommends the creation of 1,000 km of lanes reserved for collective and shared transport, whether public or private (Noé network).
