The firm’s initial idea was to strengthen the axis from the Trocadéro to the Military Academy. Following strict parameters, GP+B created its OnE (One Line) project. The Grand Site Tour Eiffel award, chosen from 42 entries, ultimately went to landscape architects from London studio Gustafson Porter + Bowman ( GP+B). Paris imposes an additional challenge of working within particularly restrictive urban planning codes-the area is classified as a “safeguarded sector,” so the slightest change is subject to city approval. Landscape architects faced the task of modernizing the area while respecting the spirit of this beloved place. Reimagining the Eiffel TowerĪccording to a brief by Paris’s city council, the park redesign is meant to “create and stage urban and landscape paths, rebalance the use of public space in favor of pedestrians, and ensure optimal management of traffic flows.” The OnE project by Gustafson Porter + Bowman will restore greenery to the axis between the Trocadéro, in the foreground, and the Military Academy, in the background. It was important that the iconic structure, which Parisians refer to as the “iron lady,” would be treated in a way that respects its history and natural environment, returning many areas to plants, parks, and pedestrians. To choose a design, the city held a competition called the Grand Site Tour Eiffel. In advance of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, 133 acres of park land will be redeveloped along the Eiffel Tower, starting in mid-2022. Some 20 million visitors flock to the foot of the tower every year, 6 million of whom choose to climb at least to the first floor of this 1,063-foot structure. Today, the Champs de Mars and its lawns, like the Place du Trocadéro, are congested with tourists. Since then, the Eiffel Tower’s surroundings have changed with the passing landscape-design fashions. Fortunately, the then-tallest monument in the world was saved by the growing importance of telegraphic transmission when it became a totem of the technology. Built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the Eiffel Tower was slated to be dismantled 20 years later. Today, the Eiffel Tower is the most iconic symbol of Paris-an enduring legacy for a structure that was never meant to be permanent.
