Bois Lemaître

Urban planning · by Louis Olmeta · 1954

rue Émile Baudot ; 1 avenue Jean-Compadieu, Marseille 12e Arrondissement, France

Located on the Montolivet plateau within a partially preserved pine forest, the LOGECO project, initiated in 1952, was designated for a cooperative of public servants. Louis Olmeta's overall plan maintains the pine forest, which adds character to the monumental layout. Concurrently with its construction, the complex will include a school group, a shopping center, and even a temporary parish center. The first phase comprises over 800 housing units, comparable to rental sector industrialized projects. The development employs a load-bearing stone technique, developed during the reconstruction of the Vieux-Port by stonecutter Paul Marcerou for architect Fernand Pouillon.
