The France TV report on « Les Yeux du Ciel » is an opportunity for Laurent Mogno, President of ECT, to illustrate the virtuous circle of inert soil reuse. This land will enable the development of new cultural and leisure sites in the Paris region. « Les Yeux du Ciel » is a monumental work of Land Art created byAntoine Grumbach on the ECT site in Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin.
Antoine Grumbach’s project: two immense eyes, each 400 meters long. He created this work in the commune of Villeneuve-sous-Dammartin (77), a few kilometers from Roissy airport. Passengers taking off or landing will be able to contemplate the « Eyes of Heaven » watching them.
« 3 rows of trees draw the eye, for a total of nearly 1,200 trees. To this must be added the 12,000 m² of embankments planted around it. At the center of each eye, a plant maze where the public can wander. The site will also host exhibitions, sporting competitions, « and even an ice rink in winter », according to Antoine Grumbach.
The result is still a little hard to imagine, because today the site is a huge construction site, traversed every day by 700 trucks dumping tons of earth, several construction sites in the Ile-de-France region, including that of the metro, the famous Grand Paris Express.
