wall of hope (2024)

Le Havre, with its rich history of port activities, war, and subsequent reconstruction, has deeply influenced its urban landscape. Our design reflects the city's architecture as a symbol of time. The existing structure stands as a testament to the past, symbolizing the city's evolution and progress, and fostering hope for a sustainable future. This concept inspired the name “Wall of Hope,” embodying the city's resilience and enduring spirit.

The Museum will serve as a testament to how Brise-Vent Havre has evolved over time. Originally a structure protecting the port, it now symbolizes the protection of humanity's future. Visitors will journey through experiential exhibitions, culminating in a tour of the carbon bank beneath the structure. The exhibitions will illustrate the dangers of climate change, prompting reflection on humanity's existence and the potential for collective action. The carbon bank, featuring vertical urban farms, research, and education centers, aims to establish the concept of sustainable living, offering hands-on experiences to inspire change.

The museum is envisioned as a series of stories depicting our history, current conditions, and future possibilities. The story is depicted below,
