Momenta is a project developed around an initial framework that evolves according to the context in which it is situated. Scattered across three locations in the Croix-Rouge gardens, it creates a connection between all the different interventions carried out on the site. Beyond this link, the aim of MOMENTA is to offer opportunities and moments along a walk that takes visitors through various atmospheres.


Momentum 01 is a structure located on a sun-exposed slope near the entrance of the Croix-Rouge Museum. It consists of two platforms placed at different levels on the slope. This creates a living space that invites visitors to stop and rest.

Momentum 02 is located halfway between the museum entrance and the slightly off-center forest. It establishes a connection between the various projects on the site. In the shade of a tree, placed on a wall leading to the upper terrace, the structure adapts to two different materials.

Momentum 03 is situated amidst the trees, subtly blending into the abundant vegetation. Its location highlights the presence of a desire path, a passage naturally created by the comings and goings of the visitors in the Croix-Rouge garden.
