Place Arnaud-Bernard
The renovation of Place Arnaud-Bernard revitalises this emblematic square in the historic centre of Toulouse through an intervention that increases the presence of vegetation, improves thermal comfort and encourages new forms of public use. The project transforms a predominantly mineral square into a more balanced public space, where landscape, pedestrian mobility and areas for gathering come together within a unified urban regeneration strategy.
The intervention incorporates the Alpine bench as part of a cohesive strategy for organising the public space. Its linear configuration makes it possible to structure the square's different functional areas through precise placement, aligned with the new pedestrian routes, shaded areas and seating zones. The formal continuity of the ensemble, together with the inherent robustness of architectural concrete, ensures high durability under intensive use and contributes to establishing a coherent and legible urban identity.
The incorporation of Alpine helps consolidate an intervention in which urban furniture supports the new configuration of the public space and enhances its everyday functionality. The integration of seating areas, vegetation and pedestrian routes results in a more comfortable and accessible square, better equipped to respond to the environmental and social demands of the contemporary city.
