Since their construction in the 60s, the Circular Boulevard of La Défense and the traffic elevated junction of La Rose de Cherbourg in Puteaux have seen, until today, La Défense evolve and develop around them.
Today it is the turn of the traffic junction to evolve to better adapt and to provide new and innovative urban design perspectives for the benefit of all citizens.
Under the renewal plan of La Défense, the traffic interface becomes a civic interface. The elevated highway and the ring traffic junction were acting as an obstacle, a barrier to communication between La Défense and the neighborhood of Puteaux.
The first functional purpose of La Rose is to become an element of communication that will restore a public space system. Under this continuous green, there is also a mineral continuity: the square of La Rose in continuity with the place Degrés and Charles de Gaulle Avenue.
The square is the meeting place and crossroads of soft mobility and pedestrians, as well as the largest urban space of the overall system. This is a square on two levels with a gazebo, a stage and a scenario.
The vegetation is the manifestation of its new role and change. The ring can be a garden, support for recreational or sports activities and a terrace or an outdoors scene.
