Mary Bowman: The Transformation of Paris. OnE, the new landscape scheme for Paris.
The landscape scheme OnE, by Gustafson Porter Bowman, centres on the Eiffel Tower with the priority to connect the Place du Trocadero to the Ecole Militaire along a unified axis.
Combining classical French gardens (characterised by axes that express power) and French picturesque gardens (places of experimentation and biodiversity), the OnE site prioritises the human scale with intimate garden spaces and a mix of ornamental and native planting.
The 54-hectare site will offer spaces of contemplation and relaxation, revealing new perspectives of the Eiffel Tower.
