"A Vertical walk through the city"

Arles' city center, evolving into an open-air museum due to fifties urban planning, requires rehabilitation to play a proactive role in the world of today and tomorrow. My thesis proposes a spatial intervention at Les Nouvelles Galeries, emphasizing the active role of material heritage in mediating the needs of les Arlésiens and sustainable tourism within a global context. Revaluing existing structures ensures continuity and enting on the core memory of the city fabric while accommodating contemporary aspects and space for new developments.

The project fosters a dynamic connection between the city center and local neighborhoods, leveraging vertical interactions within the existing building for layered significance and reinforcing horizontal interfaces. This contemporary urban hub, a mental landmark, propels Arles towards a dynamic future.
