Maison Blanche Station, Paris
Unique Parisian station of the new Grand Paris Express network, the Maison-Blanche station is located in the 13th district of Paris, along the Avenue d’Italie, between the Super-Italy tower, to the east, and the tunnel of the metro line 7, to the west. It is part of a dense urban fabric featuring a number of tall buildings. To allow the extension of line 14 and its connection with line 7, the Maison Blanche station accommodates 2 additional levels, and theirs surface access are requalified. Two emergences, luminous beacons by night, are staged at the foot of the tower Italy, in the heart of a forecourt that facilitates multiple mobilities. The work of the American artist Ned Kahn plays with both glass emergences, with a suspended metal veil, undulating and shimmering like a river.
