Part 1 | Research Introduction Ivry-sur-Seine is a commune located in the southeastern suburbs of Paris. Due to the commune’s unique positioning at the confluence of the Seine and Marne rivers, its port is vital for naval trade. For much of Ivry-sur-Seine’s history, the Seine riverf ront has been dedicated solely to industries like machinery, food processing, chemicals, and lumber products. But in the 70s and 80s, deindustrialization caused an economic downturn. Ivry-sur-Seine has since been going through economic restructuring, and as a result there are new small and medium-sized businesses giving life to this area of the commune again.

Part 1 of this publication will focus on the Ivry-Confluences project by conducting an urban analysis of the city’s riverfront area and proposing a new development that will address the inevitable refugee crisis.

There are multiple development projects under way for a revitalized Ivrysur-Seine. According to Ivry-sur-Seine’s government website, these development projects include: - Ivry Confluences: Renovating the Ivry-Port area between the railway lines and the Seine. Focusing on housing, economic activities, and public facilities consisting of over 1 million square meters.

- Ivry Plateau: An urban redesign operation along the RD5 trunk road which will consist of housing, office space and public facilities. Building design will be of “high artistic and cultural quality.”

- The Gagarine-Truillot Project: Goals for this project consist of connecting the center of Ivry and the new Ivry-Confluence district, creating mixed functionality, and promoting social interaction.

The focus of this project is centered around Ivry-Port, next to the conuence of the Seine and Marne rivers. For decades, this area has been in a state of deindustrialization and economic decline. Multiple projects are underway to make the riverf ront more accessible to the public with mixed-use buildings and improved inf rastructure.

Historic Photos

Timber, foodstuffs, and fuel were main imports at the port of Ivry-sur-Seine.

During the 19th century, a rail line was established through Ivry. In the present day, Gare du Chevaleret continues to be a functioning station for Paris’ RER Line.

Above, a photograph of Rue de la Mairie, which has seen great transformations since its establishment.

Multiple factories were built during the period of industrialization, however, few remain today. Most have been abandoned and in the process of being demolished or retroďŹ tted.

Ivry was transformed into an industrial city during the 19th century thanks to the establishment of the Seine, the Paris-Basel road, and an emerging railroad system.

“L’hospice des Incurables” was built in 1869, now a critical healthcare facility in Ivry-sur-Seine called Charles Foix Hospital.

The Nazi occupation of Paris during WWII resulted in the destruction of many buildings in Ivry, prompting a reconstruction of various parts of the city after the war.

During the end of WWII, on August 20th 1944, a group of f reedom fighters reconquered Ivry Town Hall and set up a Liberation Committee.

Present Photos The large factory shown in this aerial is planned to be retroďŹ tted, with the surrounding buildings demolished and turned to a park.

Place de Gambetta, a plaza in Ivry-surSeine which is planned to be renovated with a new metro stop, part of the future Grand Paris Express.

St. Raphael is an abandoned building for sale directly adjacent to the Seine.

Part 2 | Design Design Intent The goal of this design is to create a timeless, colossal structure inspired by the Brutalist architecture surrounding Ivry-sur-Seine. It will also consider the future impact of climate change by providing a large number of units in a small area.

In an ideal world, the density of these units would never be necessary.

However, in 2049, the world is a dystopia, and Paris must provide housing to climate refugees in a quick and effective way.

HIVE In the year 2049, Paris has evolved into a metropolis that has been forever changed by global warming.

After a series of record-breaking typhoons in southeast Asia and droughts in South America, Paris has endured a decades-long refugee crisis. Tens of thousands of people enter the city every year, some seeking refuge at HIVE, located in Ivry-sur-Seine.

At a total of 10,000 units, HIVE is the largest apartment complex on Earth.

The building dominates the skyline surrounding the conuence of the Seine.

Part 2 of this publication will focus on the design of HIVE and how it will address the current and future needs of the site.

The future of our climate

Mass exodus statistics

- 800 million people live in areas sensitive to the effects of climate change such as sea level rise, risk to droughts, and famine.

- In 1971, 18 million people in Bangladesh migrated to India as a result of conflict with Pakistan. 4 million died.

- 2016 was the warmest year in recorded history, and by 2030, scientists estimate the average global temperature will increase by 1.5 degrees C. - It is estimated that US$140 billion per year is required to adapt to the effects of climate change (0.1% of global GDP)

- In 1991, 14 million people were evacuated f rom central and northern China due to flooding and landslides. Over 5.6 million homes were destroyed.

- In 2016, the UN identified almost 13.6 million Syrian refugees. By 2013, there were already 313,000 refugees migrating to Europe.

- Current population of Paris: 2.14 million

Precedent Studies Bladerunner 2049 Director: Denis Villeneuve Production Designer: Dennis Gassner “Through the course of designing that vehicle [shown right], I developed a pattern language we used to create the rest of the city . . . the tower, police station, and other elements reflecting a more brutal universe—things that were robust enough to fight against the elements and remain standing, like the pyramids,” said Gassner.”

Concepts

HIVE Concept in elevation. Services and Transportation would be close to the ground oor. Food production is located above and adjacent to Services, which will produce enough for the entire complex year-round.

Healthcare is next, followed by education and commercial. Residential units are at the top, following a modular design which will allow the complex to add more units over time.

24

HIVE Concept imagines a building program arrangement inspired

by Ebenezer Howard’s “garden city” in 1898. The building is centered around a robust administrative tower, suggesting an authoritarian way of life. Compatible program functions like healthcare and recreation are paired together for greater efficiency.
