2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
-"The project is part of a desire to develop a bioclimatic architecture that respects the environment and sustainable development." (Ref. 1)
-"The project is entirely supported by the landscape constituted around geographical facades, planted soil recreating canopies of shadows and lights, and garden roofs inspired by the Mediterranean gardens." (Ref. 2)
-Helping local economies by working with local small and medium-sized companies
-"The project "La Calanque" is a model of social diversity" (Ref. 3)
-Reduce noise and air pollution (Ref. 3)

Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Climate change adaptation: What were the goals of the NBS?
Climate change adaptation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
-"The plant interior facades of the heart of the island are planted with real trees installed in concrete containers of adequate depth. They are part of the overall landscape composition of the project."
-"In order to plant the trees of the Calanque project, a marking in the nursery of the trees of the project is necessary to ensure the quality of the plants: visual checks of the architecture and height and width requested, observations on the arrangement of plants between rows, observations on good phytosanitary status" (Ref. 4)
-"A pond located in a fully enclosed and vegetated space will provide an ideal place to meet and allow children to play safely. Likewise, user-friendliness will be required in the community gardens located in roof terrace of the residence. Culture of vegetable gardens and access to a peasant basket will be on the program for these young residents with modest incomes." (Ref. 8)
“A monumental blue screen facade will envelop the entire urban composition in the north, east and west, thus protecting it from an aggressive acoustic environment” (Ref. 2).
“A shared garden will be set up on the roof terraces, providing residents with a place for market gardening and meetings. The other two shared gardens will be located at the foot of the building , allowing the common space to be displayed with maintenance at the expense of the residents” (Ref. 9).
“Structured around a simple and bio-climatic architecture, the project is entirely carried by the landscape made up around geographical facades, planted soils recreating canopies of shadows and lights, and garden roofs, a true fifth vegetal facade, inspired by by the Mediterranean gardens” (Ref. 2).
-Creating meeting areas and community gardens as well as a safe place for children to play (Ref. 8)

Novelty level of the innovation
Please specify novelty level of the innovation
-In an article (Ref. 6) it is mentioned that nature incorporated in building already started in Milan with the twin towers entirely covered by vegetation for the Milan World Exhibition in 2015. After this, the concept was "so attractive that today it is exported to China" Therefore, this design project of Jean Nouvel is not completely new.(Ref. 6)
However, there is some part of innovation mentioned here: "Grant awarded: 300 000 euros by the Marseille Provence Métropole (Local Authority) for the Habitat Innovation Fund Awards in 2016 "Innovation theme: architectural signal and vegetal interior façade."" (Ref. 10, page 4)
