A colorful stop in Paris

At Christ de Saclay Station, one of three new metro stations by Benthem Crouwel Architects and Atelier Novembre for Ligne 18 in the Grand Paris network, construction is steadily progressing- and a the interior now taking shape.
The station is enriched with a striking artwork by Ulla von Brandenburg. Her ‘Moving Chromatic Landscape’ introduces a dynamic interplay of colour, abstraction, and perspective. Evoking a landscape in the past and in motion, the artwork incorporates elements of abstraction and perspective, while creating a scrolling effect, similar to that of a landscape seen from a train.
This collaboration is part of the Tandems collection, pairing artists and architects across the Grand Paris Express, and is supported by the Société des Grands Projets. Together, we are shaping a station that is not only a point of transit, but a place of experience.
