Art prefigures Architecture
Art prefigures Architecture

Art in urban planning - Integrated in the pre-operational phase, works of art anticipate and prefigure. The Banc-paysage, a 70 meter long planted and sculpted bench in Bezons since 2014, demonstrates in vivo that the rapid and inexpensive introduction of temporary elements makes it possible to test in situ and in vivo the elements sketched " indoors".
The time of the building site becomes a lived time of the suggested developments. Rather than being a factor of nuisance and embarrassment, it is the occasion for a collective adventure.
Buildings or infrastructures devoted to demolition, fallow plots or public spaces in the making, are opportunities to build specific artistic projects that will allow the cultural facts that are the construction of urban spaces and landscapes to come As such in the eyes of everyone.

The dimensions and the forms of the project are directly derived from the built masses of the urban fabric of the islet, of which it restores a clear global shape. The project is an urban façade that is a contemporary sequence of the rue Martre.

'Tranches de villes' is a project that is based on architecture, sculpture, landscape, town planning and art. It accompanies the urban project of entry of city of Clichy, settles on the site for a duration of 2 years, after which it will be demolished.

The project "Slices of Cities", as a plastic deployment of the iconic figure of the Parisian suburbs that is the gabled wall, symbolizes the current mutations and the current dynamics at work in the city of Clichy (resorption of Unhealthy housing, construction of equipment and new housing, office and activity buildings, public spaces planted, etc.).
