To mark International Women's Rights Day on March 8 each year, many venues are offering a feminist and festive program to continue the fight and raise awareness among as many people as possible. Near Les Lilas, in the Seine-Saint-Denis département
a memorial dedicated to women in resistance and deportation is due for completion in 2025
a ceremony will be held here to pay tribute to women who fought in the Resistance and were deported
As a reminder, Fort de Romainville is a military structure built to protect the Parisian capital in the 19th century
and especially during the Nazi occupation of France
the Fort de Romainville served as an internment camp for deportees before their transfer to concentration and extermination camps
The camp is known for having mainly housed women involved in the French Resistance
and this memorial pays tribute to them decades later
In homage to these women Resistance fighters deported under the Occupation, a ceremony will be held in front of the Fort de Romainville on Saturday March 8 at 10:30 a.m.
in the presence of local elected representatives
The ceremony will also include a presentation of the Memorial project and its off-site program for 2025

Recognizing the developing world’s diminishing agricultural space
the project aims to meet the growing demands for crop cultivation in urban environments
Conscious of this need, the city of Romainville has been supporting sustainable and forward-thinking alternatives to small plot-based agriculture. Though they have implemented many rooftop and allotment gardens in the past decade, the Vertical Farm represents a comprehensive dedication to sustainability, education, and local economic participation.
Courtesy of IlimelgoThe building is split into two wings to aid crop growth, taking advantage of sunlight and limiting shade. Organic building materials such as straw bale and wood fiber insulation add to the sustainability of the project. The form of the Vertical Farm, a rectangular prism with a triangular roofline, is a reference to the existing architecture in the area.
Courtesy of IlimelgoThe ground floor of the building houses educational space, offering workshops and an instructional garden to teach the public about cultivation. Also included on the first floor is a place for crops to be sold.The Vertical Farm creates a small production loop, growing produce in the same place where is available for purchase by local residents.
Courtesy of IlimelgoThe upper floors feature spaces for bio-intensive farming using culture containers. Specially irrigated to provide healthy environments for specific crops, the containers also allow for a flexible and dynamic organization of space. The facility houses a mushroom farm, orchards, a henhouse, and laboratories that experiment in seed germination.

france towards the sun(above) view from the streetall images courtesy of abf-lab architects and engineers
ABF-lab is a paris-based design collective founded in 2011 that specialize in creating projects that mix architecture
france called ‘food-farm tower’
they aimed to optimize the volume to follow the sun’s path
making it as productive as possible and liberating it from the use of artificial light to supply power to the gardens
the project proposes both housing and gardening at the same time
the approach to the building is designed so that visitors can easily adapt to it thanks to the creation of a public garden space
the designers are convinced that this type of proposals contributes to improving the living environment
conveyed by the production of ultra-local food
the motivation behind the project is to start paving the way to conceive a new environment
because it is at an urban scale that it becomes possible to consider virtuous synergies between the project and people

the project will propose an infinity of scenarios to be developed with local associations
it will be one of the first neighborhoods to fully integrate the principles of urban agriculture as a catalyst for better living
designing a farm building in the city is a way to raise awareness and change behavior towards environmental and social responsibility

AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function
but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style
Fort de Romainville is a case in point, although its history is more tragic than anything else. A Vauban-type military defense fort located in the town of Les Lilas since 1867, it is best known for its role during the Second World War
when it served as an internment camp for 7,000 people
Originally built to protect Paris at the request of Adolphe Thiers
it served as a refuge for the city's inhabitants during the Franco-German war of 1870
Since 1984, the Fort has been home to the TDF tower, designed by architect Claude Vasconi and built in a decommissioned part of the enclosure. The 141-meter tower serves the whole of France, transmitting radio and television programs. For six years, the site was also a non-visitable annex of the Musée National de la Marine
a new project has been underway to transform part of the Fort into a memorial site

Five Parisian galleries are joining forces to open spaces in a new four-building arts complex in Romainville, a north-eastern suburb of Paris. The 11,000-sq m industrial venue, called Komunuma, alluding to community or commune, is designed by the French architects Freaks and is due to open in October.
The Romainville project represents the first “collaborative alliance between public and private sectors creating a small art ecosystem,” Fondation Fiminco and the participants say in a statement.
It is not the first gallery outpost in the city’s suburbs—Thaddaeus Ropac opened a space in a former boilermaker factory in nearby Pantin in 2012 to show large-scale works. Komunuma’s plans to coordinate events with Ropac and the CNEAI, a national contemporary art centre in Pantin, include Jeunes Création holding its 70th anniversary exhibition at Ropac Pantin next July.
Additionally, a new regional art centre, Frac Île-de-France/Les Réserves, will be inaugurated at Komunuma in 2020 and other galleries are expected to move in at a later date.

Caroline Moorehead is also the author of Dancing to the Precipice and Human Cargo
The Nazis marched into Paris in the early hours of June 14
leaving the French shocked at how quickly their country had fallen
Most of the populace watched and waited as swastikas went up on Parisian boulevards — but not everyone
Journalist Caroline Moorehead's latest book
A Train in Winter: An Extraordinary Story of Women
chronicles what happened to 230 women from all over the country who did not accept the occupation quietly
clandestine radio operators — were rounded up in the first major French police operations against the Resistance
They ended up in the Romainville prison on the outskirts of Paris
"They started coming together by the late spring of 1942
these women began to form friendships," Moorehead tells weekends on All Things Considered guest host Jacki Lyden
the women were loaded onto cattle cars and sent east to Auschwitz
The ghastly conditions at Auschwitz were heartbreaking for the French women
but that only strengthened their determination to get each other through
"One of the most touching things one of them said to me was
there came a moment when our own deaths were no more important to us than the deaths of our friends,'" Moorehead says
Life proved difficult for most of the 49 who returned
Their health — both mental and physical — had been broken in the camps
and they often felt as if there was no place for them in a recovering France
Moorehead tracked down four survivors — all in their 80s and 90s — who were well enough to describe what they had been through
and they were extremely keen to tell their stories," she says
"One of the problems for these women it when they got back — it was not until the summer of 1945
when France had been liberated for a year — and nobody really wanted to hear their stories," Moorehead says
Charles de Gaulle had promised that the country would be swift to punish traitors and collaborators — but then
"I had the feeling when I went to see them," she says
"that they were longing to tell their whole story from beginning to end

juniors and seniors gathered in Romainville for an exceptional visit from two of Celine’s administrative and creative representatives
In the final days of October, fashion master’s students, juniors and seniors gathered in Romainville for an exceptional visit from two of Celine’s administrative and creative representatives. Shirley Laine, the maison’s Campus Management for talent acquisition was joined by Celine’s men’s knitwear leader and former Parsons graduate, Allysha Fabe
Laine’s presentation of Celine’s heritage decodes the past as inspiration for the maison’s present global voice
The brand story begins when Parisian Céline Vipiana and her husband founded their made-to-measure children’s shoe store in 1945
The brand successfully expanded and became the first women’s ready-to-wear retailer with a couture-quality sportswear approach
It was a very progressive fifteen years for the brand; women’s shoes
fragrance and Florentine-made leather goods were swift to follow with increasing demand
Céline’s vehicle stalled on the Place de L’Etoile
perhaps the most inconvenient place in Paris to experience a malfunction
she noticed the decorative chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe
inspired by the double links representing two “Cs” for the brand
leather goods and fragrances where it continues to serve its life as the maison crest
LVMH purchased Céline where the brand was most notably home to Michael Kors and Phoebe Philo who catapulted its essence into international limelite
After Philo’s infamous decade with the maison
Hedi Slimane took to the helm with an edgy
contemporary ethos captured through a youthful Parisian lens
Slimane continues to present the Triomphe accessory line as a signature of the house
Celine has grown to an impressive 178 global stores with 2,500 employees and 4 collections a year
respected visionaries administer Celine’s design sectors within Slimane’s vision
Fabe graduated from Parsons fashion in New York
then pursued a master’s degree at Paris’ coveted La Fabrique
she took the industry by storm with an impressive résumé of production roles with Courrèges
she oversees the swift preparation and production of ready-to-wear collections which require a highly trained eye
the magnitude and experience of its behind-the-scenes creatives
Parson’s career arrangements are an insightful way to learn about (and meet) the leaders in fashion
facilitated here with two women who make it possible for Celine
Thank you Shirley and Allysha for sharing your afternoon with us at Parsons Paris

© Sandrine MarcAn innovative project open to the city that is commensurate with the urban dynamics within the region. The homogeneous composition of its façades, a suitable and adaptable building that expresses its agricultural vocation: daylight, solar and thermal protection, rainwater harvesting, etc. Designed as a "controlled" bioclimatic environment, it combines both ventilation systems and daylight within high-performance thermal envelopes.
the design intent is consists of the objective of efficiency in the service of accountable farming
the Cité Maraîchère is an educational building conducive to exchanges that participate in neighborhood life and transmit the values and principles of the circular economy
the concept behind the design can be described as a fragmentation of built mass
this is achieved by the addition of a series of tiny exterior satellite spaces made of wood to contrast with the buildings from which they extend
they manage to blur the distinctions of existing spaces
turning the otherwise standard and momentous built forms into activated interiors and exteriors that excite the imagination.

the reserve collection of the Paris Region Contemporary Art Fund (FRAC)
a vast exhibition space and a concert venue…all on an exceptional converted industrial site…That is the incredible offering that lies in store at Komunuma
Located in the town of Romainville, right next to Pantin, which is already home to the Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery
and just 3 minutes from the nearest metro station
Komunuma is reinventing the Paris Region’s artistic and cultural landscape
the project is based in a 46,000 m2 1940s architectural gem formerly occupied by the Roussel-Uclaf pharmaceutical laboratories
This neighbourhood entirely devoted to art and design is totally unique in France and one of the largest of its kind in Europe
Its ambition is to offer all audiences the chance to experience art and design through a high-quality artistic programme
A unique opportunity to discover and discuss contemporary creation
With Paddock
Komunuma is the perfect embodiment of what Greater Paris has to offer
French architecture firm ilimelgo has delivered the Cité Maraîchère
Similar to a market garden – which the project is named after – the complex grows vegetables and fruit for local consumption
the project provides extensive space for food production as well as public areas for agricultural
architectural and technical education and innovation
The Cité Maraîchère aims to catalyse an urban future where sustainable food production is efficiently planned into the built environment
Urban agriculture is one strategy to respond to the increased demand for food from ever-growing populations
and to reduce carbon emissions involved in the transportation of produce from rural farm (or overseas producer) to city
Although the 2,060 sq m built complex can be classed as industrial in function
terracotta-hued framed buildings – is more akin to domestic architecture
natural light is maximised for food growing
Designed as a controlled bioclimatic environment
the complex comprises natural ventilation and high-performance thermal envelopes
and harvests rainwater and manages solar gain
various spaces enable educational and professional workshops focused on urban agriculture
environmental stewardship and sustainable innovation
while a cafe provides a place both to relax and eat the produce grown on all the floors above
The Cité Maraîchère was instigated by Corinne Valls
with the aims of promoting short supply chains
developing the community economy and educating local residents on sustainable food production

Continuing the international cultural exchange program of our gallery
started two years ago with collaborative projects with Galerie Odile Ouizeman (Paris)
we're glad to present a new collaboration with Estonian gallery Temnikova & Kasela (Tallinn)
marking personal friendship as well as the century of the Republic of Estonia
Krista Mölder's works focus on universalized space and viewer experience or
on the transference of a personal (and constructed) viewer experience through which the viewer has a chance to identify with the artist’s view and frame of mind
taking the context of a space as one of themes of her allegoric oeuvre
Krista Mölder’s solo exhibition “Notes on Being Present” at Galerie Iragui is put together based on her photo series of recent years in an active dialogue with the gallery space
acquiring new meanings and premises: at the level of the image
combinations of images and their dynamic interaction with the exhibition hall
Krista Mölder’s photos are always connected to the topic of presence — being-in-a-given-place
focusing on identifying its potential as well as its structure
The structure here represents both a kind of formal orderliness and the poetic
phenomenological and philosophical essence of space
expressed through the artist’s multi-layered visual language

exhibiting her work at solo and group exhibitions in Estonia
the vertical farm’s design aims to house crops and maximize their exposure to sunlight
a shaft opening created in both parts of the building enables light to circulate and enhances thermal exchanges
this void also allows for materials to circulate around easily to respond to the urban gardener’s needs
the intent is to create a dynamic junction between traditional market gardening and technological innovation
this proposal represents an opportunity to provide the inhabitants with fresh food and to improve the quality of nutrition locally
the project strives to reconnect town and country

President Danny Faure visited the Ile de Romainville Solar Farm this morning
The objective of the visit was to assess the implementation of the first project and obtain onsite updates on how far they have reached with the installation of the photovoltaic (PV) system
The President was greeted and guided around the site by the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Utilities Corporation (PUC)
the President had the chance to talk to the contractors and consultants of the project and get clarifications on technical aspects of the project
President Faure commended the team for their hard work and progress made despite the various challenges and complexities of such a project
The Public Utilities Corporation (PUC) embarked on a project in November 2018 to develop a 5MW Solar Farm on Ile de Romainville by the end of 2019
The solar farm is being funded through a concessional loan from IRENA (the International Renewable Energy Agency) and ADFD (Abu Dhabi Fund for Development)
The implementation of this project will significantly contribute to the country’s goal to reach its 5% renewable energy target by 2020
PUC is investing in a 3.4MWh battery which will be located at Roche Caiman
This initiative will help stabilise the electricity grid and compensate for the fluctuations in the energy output from renewable energy sources
Work is currently well underway despite the complexity of the project
and challenges caused by the persistent rainy season
However Mr Morin said they anticipated to complete the project by January 2020
Coexisting with the 5MWp solar farm project on Ile de Romainville is the Democratisation of PV (DPV) project which aims at assisting welfare beneficiaries and government agencies with solar PV technology
This project is also in line with the government’s vision for the energy sector: to have a country powered by clean energy and harnessing more sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions
It is estimated to cost USD 3.6 million for an aggregate capacity of 1.9MW and it is being entirely financed by a grant from the Government of India
Also present for the visit was the Deputy CEO of PUC
representatives of SEFTECH (India) and Complete Energy Solution (CES ); the main contractor of the project

Masdar said it has started operating the 5 MW Ile de Romainville PV project in the Seychelles
The installation is backed by 3.3 MWh of storage capacity
Masdar, an Abu Dhabi-based renewables developer, has switched on a 5 MW solar plant in the Seychelles
The Ile de Romainville project includes 3.3 MW of battery energy storage and a 33 kV system to transmit electricity to the main island of Mahe
The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) financed the project
which was jointly developed by Masdar and Seychelles-based Public Utilities Corp
It is part of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and ADFD Project Facility
which is an initiative to scale up renewables in developing countries
It is only the second clean-energy project in the Seychelles
Masdar built the solar plant on the island of Romainville
which hosts several wind turbines from ADFD and Masdar’s Port Victoria Wind Farm
It specifically designed the PV installation to maximize the use of available land
while allowing for the maintenance of the wind turbines and minimizing shading losses
“By saving about 2,000,000 liters of fossil fuel annually
Ile de Romainville solar PV plant will enable the country to significantly reduce its carbon footprint
provide a wide range of benefits to its people and empower small businesses,” said ADFD Director General Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi
“The project will also make energy more affordable and accessible to the population.”
The Seychelles heavily relies on fossil fuels to meet its electricity demand
with fossil fuels accounting for around 20% of the country’s imports
It has set a target of 15% renewables by 2030
the nation's cumulative solar capacity stood at 9 MW in 2021

For Pierre Molinier, “our mission on earth is to transform the world into total mayhem.” In February 1956, the surrealist artist wrote to André Breton to announce the opening of his brothel, the ‘Texas Bar’. Corentin Canesson’s new exhibition at Komunuma looks back on the last two years of his production
Although this new body of work presents itself simply as an exhibition of “paintings from Texas to Brittany”
it also embraces the work of invited artists as well as other creative gestures that nourish his process
The starting point of this exhibition is the Prix du FRAC Bretagne / Art Norac that Corentin Canesson was awarded in 2021.

de nouvelles stations sont accessibles sur la ligne 11 du métro
la ligne 14 sera elle aussi prolongée
plus d'excuse donc pour ne pas vous balader dans toute la banlieue parisienne
Le prolongement tant attendu de la ligne 11 jusqu’à Rosny-sous-Bois accueillent officiellement ses premiers voyageurs. Dès aujourd'hui, jeudi 13 juin, les six nouvelles stations de la ligne marron seront accessibles au public. L'occasion de s'échapper un peu plus loin de la capitale, vers l’est et ce, en métro
Si jusqu’alors elle s’arrêtait à la station Mairie des Lilas, la ligne 11 va désormais être prolongée jusqu’à Rosny-sous-Bois, en passant par Romainville. Les six nouvelles stations sont nommées Serge Gainsbourg (malgré de nombreuses pétitions visant à modifier ce dernier)
Rosny-Bois-Perrier. Un nouveau tronçon de 5,4 km au total
ainsi qu'un nouvel atelier de maintenance des trains qui auront nécessité près de 7 ans et demi de travaux
ces derniers ayant débuté au mois de décembre 2016.
La prolongement de la ligne 14 sera, lui aussi, accessible à partir du mois de juin. Avec huit stations supplémentaires (Saint-Denis-Pleyel
Thiais-Orly et Aéroport d’Orly)
la ligne permettra un accès simplifié du nord au sud de la capitale
Masdar
will help the Public Utilities Corporation (PUC) in building a 5MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with battery storage in the Republic of Seychelles
The project is being financed by a US$ 8.4m loan from Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD)
the leading national entity for development aid
procurement and construction (EPC) contract scope includes subsea cabling
and an underground water piping system for module cleaning
The 5MW Ile de Romainville Solar Park will be located on the same site as the existing ADFD-financed US$ 28m Port Victoria Wind Farm
this 6MW renewable energy wind farm has been generating power for the Seychelles’ capital since 2013
The new project will also include an energy storage system (ESS) with a capacity of 5MW and 3.3 megawatt-hours (MWh)
allowing for the safe and stable supply of electricity to the main island of Mahé
while also ensuring the grid stability and safe operation of PUC’s conventional fuel-fired power station
the 5MW Ile de Romainville Solar Park is part of ADFD and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Project Facility
ADFD has committed US$350 million in concessionary loans over seven funding cycles to support the establishment of renewable energy projects in developing countries
“Seychelles has placed climate change at the centre of its sustainable development strategy,” said His Excellency Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi
“Contributing to the financing of this solar park with integrated battery storage will bolster ADFD’s efforts in supporting the island country’s priorities
especially with regard to mitigating carbon emissions through the deployment of renewable energy
Cutting-edge projects like the Ile de Romainville Solar Park demonstrate the benefits of renewable energy ventures in long-term socio-economic development.”
Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, said: “Masdar is honoured to have been selected to partner with ADFD and PUC in the development of Seychelles’ latest renewable energy project
and to build on our successful involvement in the Port Victoria wind project
This collaboration will be an opportunity to harness the latest efficiency enhancements in solar power technology
including the optimisation benefits of battery storage.”
Seychelles currently relies on fossil fuels to meet its electricity demand
with fossil fuels accounting for around 20 per cent of the country’s imports
it has set a target of 5 per cent renewables by 2020 and 15 per cent by 2030
It is estimated that the Ile de Romainville solar project will save approximately 2,000,000 litres of fuel annually
said: “By combining solar energy with wind power
Seychelles will double its renewables capacity while freeing up resources for economic development
The battery storage component will also address the intermittency challenges of renewables
further consolidating Seychelles’ energy security.”
The new solar PV project will be installed on the same artificial island hosting five of the eight wind turbines of the Port Victoria Wind Farm
The PV array has been specifically designed to maximise the use of available land
while allowing for the maintenance of the wind turbines and minimising any shading losses resulting from them
the eight wind turbines of the Port Victoria Wind Farm supply approximately 2,100 households on Mahé
