Social housing and subway command post

DATA architectes - RATP

Published in January 2023

In the immediate vicinity of Place d'Italie, in this part of the 13th arrondissement overlooking the Mobilier National and the Manufacture des Gobelins, the RATP has a large maintenance site for the subway trains on line 6. Immediately adjacent to this industrial enclave surrounded by high walls, Édouard Albert's Croulebarbe tower rises up, a high-rise apartment building with a fine metal structure. The "Italy" site is composed of large workshops and an office building from the 1950s that is to be transformed into a line command post for the RATP and into social housing.
