Parc François Mitterrand

Parc François Mitterrand sits on a former industrial site in Saint-Ouen, defined by its flat, expansive lawn and rows of young trees planted in rigid, geometric patterns. It covers the roof of a massive, buried logistics hub, a structure designed to handle the movement of goods for the Paris region. Where steam engines and factory workers once crowded the banks of the Seine, engineers built this green platform to cover the heavy freight operations below.
