Place Jean Jaurès, in the heart of the Plateau district in Marseille, becomes a generous and wide pedestrian space. Centre of Marseilles life, with several weekly markets, the Place Jean Jaurès is emptying its car park to become once again a public space accessible to all. The project proposes a radical transformation of the square to offer a multitude of uses, for which we are creating different lighting ambiences : a soft layer of warm white light for a discreet and functional lighting along the walkway, a layer of slightly blue light for an assertive lighting in the heart of the square, a warm white raking light for the «urban deck» and a projected light for the fault of the magnolias.
radical transformation of a main city square
