Uckange Blast Furnace Park – U4
The former site Blast Furnace, known as U4, located in Uckange take over by the luminous and monumental work of Claude Lévèque in 2007. Today the local and regional authorities are launching new modifications to the park that take into account its industrial and artistic history, and are centred on experimental cultures.
The multidisciplinary team led by the Ter agency was awarded the project. Studies are ongoing. The landscaping project involves adapting all the park sequences, basing ourselves on the principle of dividing out the areas of land to be used for the experimental cultures. The path makes its way across the park in a fluid and organic movement through all the sequences. It links the landscaped sequences, but also a series of small themed clusters. The clusters are spaces of programmatic and scenographic polarity spread all over the park along the path. The polarities are on a variable scale, and provide colourful and dynamic atmospheres. They are all arranged as if they were part of the path, sometimes in the middle, sometimes next to it. The materiality of the soil is the element shared by all the clusters. It is a component that is similar to sports pitches, with rubber aggregates in a specific colour in each cluster.
