Clèment Blanchet Architecture together with SCAU have designed a very complete project to dialogue with the history of the club and with the urban environment itself with a brick enclosure on the levels at street level to integrate with the Parisian neighborhood of Sena-Saint Denis as well as its Instead, raise the original piece with a glass enclosure where the boxes and the club's offices will be located to be able to enjoy the games and shows.
The project presents a very complex program and thanks to its design, a mixed project, the stadium of Red Star Football will not only include space for the development of football matches, but also the celebration of other different shows such as catwalks for the fashion show or concert. In turn, the project focuses on and seeks sustainability where on the roof, the eaves that protect the spectators from the sun are solar panels placed throughout its surface that will allow a great energy replenishment.

Description of project by Clèment Blanchet Architecture and SCAU
The Red Star Football club will soon have a renovated home. We are thrilled to present our winning entry in collaboration with SCAU.
The new stadium is part of a larger project for Saint-Ouen (Greater Paris): the Bauer District. This 40.000m² mixed-use development involves the transformation of the current Bauer Stadium, a retail park dedicated to sport and urban fashion, the headquarter of the club, offices, a high-end medical center dedicated to sport illness, a leisure center, a rooftop bar, among others...
The Bauer District stadium ambition is to bring back the fans to their roots and to define an iconic and intense Fan Experience, Clément Blanchet said. You can attend and enjoy the game from the tribune, from the rooftop, from the terraces of the Bauer Box, from everywhere. Every spots develop its own identity and different ways to capture fan energy. We wanted to achieve the ultimate Fan Temple.
In addition to a new soccer stadium, Bauer District complex will also provide restaurants, retail, business spaces…
“We wanted to create a stadium open 365 days a year. In other words – the stadium is becoming the city and the city is the stadium”.
Clèment Blanchet
The project consists of four main actions:
1. To create a new and refurbished stadium for Red Star Football Club
2. To connect a mixed-use development, the “Bauer Box” directly linked to the stadium which offers a wide range of experiences and invites urbanity into the stadium
3. To generate a true transparency between the city and the stadium. On the first levels of Bauer District, the building offers a three-dimensional experience dedicated to sports and fans
4. To address the skyline of Saint Ouen by shaping the last floors in order offer many terraces and spaces overlooking the soccer field and the city of Paris
The stadium is positioned as an infrastructural node, ensuring accessibility by car, bikes, bus and public transport.
The project will now enter into a new stage . Fans and community members will express their inputs about the design.
The stadium could host training or competition during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

CLEMENT BLANCHET
Clément Blanchet Architecture (cBA) is an innovative architecture and urban design practice that brings together multidisciplinary and multicultural actors on themes around the city, architecture and all media related to it. The firm approaches the design of architecture, infrastructure and the city as necessarily interrelated, and in negotiation with planning, development and public space. The practice is structured as a laboratory, informing and generating architecture and urbanism out of the conditions of the city and territory.
The synergy between theory and practice is the base of its methodological approach. The practice engages the consciousness of reality, of the real world, but also the analysis of phenomena – environmental, developmental, economic - that affect and feed architecture. This methodology not only deals with inventions but also with manipulations, making program legible, and ensuring resilience and durability over time. This structure operates at multiple scales; from designing interiors to public cultural facilities, while considering specific approaches in the areas of education, housing, infrastructure, landscape and urbanism. The firm has also developed tools for dialogue with different urban and project actors, aimed to place the user at the heart of the creative process.
Clément Blanchet is Principle of Clément Blanchet Architecture (cBA) and a former Associate of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), where he joined in 2004.
In 2011, Clement Blanchet was appointed Director of OMA France, with whom cBA continues to collaborate with on ongoing projects led by Blanchet.
He graduated with high honours from the Architectural school of Versailles and has been an invited critic in France, England, Holland, Switzerland, Denmark & Sweden. He currently teaches at Paris Val de Seine Architectural School and ESA. Clément Blanchet divides his time between this firm in Paris and the United States where he also teaches at the University of Michigan and Rice University.
