Design: OMA

OMA’s design for La Défense, presented in the Carlo Scarpa restored Querini Stampalia building, is curated by Francis Rambert, alongside 12 other proposals for the area.
OMA’s scheme stems from the recognition of La Défense’s struggle to maintain and expand its position on the international scene.
The masterplan proposes to create a nodal point that transforms La Défense into a compact and efficient business district by creating a new central transit stop in the middle of the district with an internal shuttle that extends to the neighbouring district of Les Groues – to bring in life and also distribute to surrounding neighbourhoods.
The Italian Pavilion is located in the first Tesa delle Vergini at the Venice Arsenale while the Querini Stampalia is located in the sestieri of Castello – both will be open until November 23.
