The Pavillon de l’Arsenal is launching the 2026 edition of its call for projects focused on urban, architectural, and landscape design and innovation, open to anyone interested in devising new ways to shape the city in the Greater Paris area.+
FAIRE: Building Greater Paris
Since January, due to renovation work, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal has been expanding its activities beyond its walls, throughout Greater Paris. In this new context of the Pavillon de l’Arsenal’s metropolitan presence, FAIRE is asserting itself more than ever as a catalyst for engaged urban research, with the aim of:
→ FAIRE to address the climate challenges of today and tomorrow.
→ FAIRE to foster participatory, social, and solidarity-based initiatives.
→ FAIRE to amplify research and innovation on a metropolitan scale.
Through FAIRE, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal aims to support young creators and newly established organizations by awarding grants to eight recipients.
The accelerator will support the winners in defining their research process, finding the partners or regions necessary for project development, and will provide financial, technical, and logistical support.
Since its inception, the FAIRE call for projects has supported more than 80 projects..
What is FAIRE?
FAIRE provides stakeholders in urban and architectural development with the opportunity to submit proposals addressing major urban challenges: biodiversity, the urban heat island effect, low-carbon construction, energy efficiency, as well as the redefinition of urban professions, resource sharing, and co-production...
FAIRE aims to accelerate the emergence of experimental architectural and urban practices, facilitate the implementation of prototypes in Paris and the Greater Paris area, support and promote applied research, and foster the adoption of new construction processes, materials, and programs.
