RFR’s assignments
RFR currently studies, along the Architects, the concepts and technic design of three works.
Description
This project is part of a large intervention to fully renovate the suburban train RER A station Charles de Gaulle Etoile in Paris. RFR’s scope involves three iconic works :
1 – The « Cascade » (waterfall), is a suspended structure covered in Solid Surface panels to form backlit cubic shapes. This floating sculpture will replace the current stainless steel ceiling above the escalators.
2 – The « platforms sitting area» follow the shape of the tunnel ceiling. These furniture elements, also made out of thermoformed Solid Surface, are set in assembled modules along the platforms.
3 – The « platform Ribbons” are two linear truss beams, each measuring 250m (one above each platform), that will support platform lightings, information screens, and all other RATP required equipment.
