In an article on the regeneration of brownfield sites located near railway stations, Le Temps cites the Côté Gare neighbourhood in Bussigny as an example of contemporary urban regeneration.
The article highlights how these former industrial sites are now becoming genuine urban laboratories, combining densification, social diversity, mobility and sustainability.
“On major projects, our first instinct is to determine who the future buildings and outdoor spaces are intended for,” explains Marco Cennini, Architect – Managing Partner | Lausanne. “Before any sketch, we conduct an in-depth socio-spatial analysis, based on a detailed understanding of the area, the housing market and local dynamics. This approach enables us to understand the target audiences, their lifestyles, their needs and their realities—living, moving around and making the spaces their own—so that we can anticipate future uses. Architecture then translates this thinking, guiding typologies, atmospheres and uses, to design neighbourhoods and buildings in tune with current expectations.”
