Bas Smets’ landscape project Parc des Ateliers in Arles has been nominated for the French architecture prize l’Équerre d’argent in the category Espaces publics et paysagers [Public spaces and landscaping]. The winners will be announced on 22 November in Paris.
About Luma Arles:
“ The semi-desert climate of the former industrial railway yard is transformed into a Mediterranean climate by accelerating what nature would have done over time. Planted with more tan 80 000 trees, shrubs and plants the park is made with the species of the three surrounding biotopes and connects all the buildings of the new art centre of the Luma Foundation in Arles."
