On Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 7:00 PM at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, Jean-Louis Missika, assistant to the Mayor of Paris, unveiled the 12 finalists for FAIRE 2018, an accelerator for urban design projects that forms part of the tender for innovative projects launched by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal and the City of Paris, in collaboration with MINI and the support of the Caisse des Dépôts Fund and design institutions and schools throughout the Ile de France.
From rocks sculpted from stone from the Ile de France to multi-support furniture with plant protection, a climate bank that uses air from quarries, a façade water tank, a cooling vent, an unusual installation for children, research and experiments on cycling habits, metropolitan signage to make Grand Paris a part of Paris,FAIRE is accelerating12 projects that explore and question usages of and strategies for public space in Paris.
For Jean-Louis Missika, assistant to the Mayor in charge of urban planning and architecture, “new usages and new constraints in the public space represent challenges both for designers and politicians. FAIRE DESIGN allows us to explore new ways of working together.”
