Îlot A3
A3 is the pilot project for the urban vision of Lyon Confluence 2 where nine buildings by six architects were planned and built in close cooperation with the city, the developer, and the contractor. The master plan for Lyon Confluence 2 is the result of an invited competition, which Herzog & de Meuron won in 2009 in cooperation with Michel Desvigne. The lively, compact city center on the peninsula between the Rhône and Sâone rivers expands southwards into the area that ends in the “Confluence”, where the two rivers converge. The master plan consists of the Quartier du Marché, a mixed urban neighborhood, the Transversale, a boulevard that leads east and west to bridges over the two rivers, and the Champs, a park that leads to the southern tip of Confluence. The objective is to create vibrant public spaces and a heterogeneous social fabric. The architectural specifications aim for unity within diversity. Because of the central location, only a limited number of parking spaces are provided and buildings must adhere to strict energy regulations.
