Bordeaux (France): The City of Wine moves into Les Bassins

The adoption of symbolic or characteristic architectural designs for new constructions is a growing trend, especially in regions where urban areas converge with port facilities. This innovative architectural approach seeks to invigorate the image of port cities and often includes collaboration with acclaimed architects. In the case of Bordeaux, the museum of wine, La Cité du Vin, used this concept and created a unique structure on the river Garonne. The identity and role of the structure are easily recognisable by its form.

This good practice also includes objective 6.1 (Developing all types of promenades and other open spaces in City Port interface zones, to promote a better understanding of port and logistic activities) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
