“Agora is pushing its boundaries in to the public space. With a headline theme of the public space, it’s also giving pride of place to culture.” Read more

“By 2030, the area will also include affordable hotels, a library, a gym and two schools. At that time, the district will have nearly 4,500 housing units.”Read more

“Brazza invents tomorrow's housing. On the area of the former Soferti premises, a pilot scheme has been launched to build 'units capable'; homes that purchasers fit out as they please.”Read more

"With some 8,000 people expected to live here, as a clear demonstration of Youssef Tohme’s determination to keep low the rise of the development, the project has only three buildings exceeding 40 meters."Read more

“Architecture in conflict with nature. Effectively a challenge to the outdoor space, necessarily separated and so will engender further exchanges with the inside. At first sight, within its surroundings, Villa SC reveals a disorder of presence.”Read more

“On the right Bank, at the location of the new lift bridge, 53 hectares will be redeveloped in the coming years. For the new Brazza district, the plan was entrusted to the urbanist and architect Youssef Tohme.”Read more

“A public space is successful when one feels at home, when we feel there's attachment to the society”.Read more

In line with the spirit of the future urban project in 2030, Tohme imagined "a Brazza that gives pride to the functional and social mix, with a strong identity: both true to its industrial past, and in this spirit is both free and intimate.”Read more

“Youssef Tohme, architect and curator of the 2014 edition of Agora, and Michèle Laruë-Charlus, the city’s director general of development, lay the foundations of the biennial’s architecture and urbanism.”Read more

“Alain Juppé and Youssef Tohme present the main lines of Agora, a biennial of architecture, urban planning and design for the city of Bordeaux.”Read more

“An unreal, impressionist landscape. This place has an industrial history with a strong memory. We must exploit its existing and future potential for this area lays on the future focus of Bordeaux – the Garonne.”Read more
