Work in progress: Tête de Pont in Bayonne (France). Official presentation of phase one of the project
Feb
'12
On 31 January, the team from Mateo Arquitectura met planners from Bayonne City Council to present phase one of the Tête de Pont project.
The Tête de Pont project is of great importance to the city, not just in terms of size (around 70,000 m2 of floor area) but also for its role as the new gateway to Bayonne. It stands on the urban front of the river Adour in the vicinity of Henri Grenet Bridge, and its programme, laid out in two city blocks, comprises social and free-market housing, a shopping centre, a hotel, a home for the elderly, a small office sector and a car park.
This phase will include the central part of the project, focusing on the urban planning of Henri Grenet Bridge, for traffic, and the walkway situated beneath it, allowing pedestrians access to the city centre without having to cross the busy road.
