Wald is the landscape and urban planning agency founded by Clément Willemin in 2019.
Wald means forest in German, but also York Architecture Landscape Design, or We Are Landscape Architects.
Our topics are the two main topics of our time: biodiversity and climate. Our objects are urban, they are the gardens, squares, meeting places and humble fun made available to the inhabitants.
The landscape is indeed a matter of humility and sharing, pleasure and details. It is a sensitive practice of urban planning. We put our experience and energy into ensuring its accuracy and precision, development and sustainability.
The agency has in 2021 half a dozen urban planners, landscapers, architects, designers, engineers.
We are currently developing about twenty urban planning and transformation operations of all kinds: heritage sites, new housing or activity districts, public spaces, squares, parks, gardens, either under study or project management.
