Heritage and Transformations: Saint-Vincent-de-Paul District in Paris

This lecture explores the innovative project of the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul district, focusing on transforming existing structures to meet new needs through detailed diagnostics and feasibility studies. The project embraces a unique approach, allowing for temporary uses and public engagement, while preserving the site's public spaces, buildings, and greenery. By prioritizing the reuse of existing structures and integrating new constructions harmoniously, the district offers a mix of housing and public facilities, drawing inspiration from its historical significance as a former monastery and modern maternity hospital.
