Paris
and its suburbs represent a working population of 5.5 million people. More than
11 million inhabitants are distributed within 12,000 square kilometers, out of
those, 2 million people live within 105 square kilometers.
Political subdivision of the ground, topographic
conditions, cultural interaction, social problems and a constantly increasing
unprivileged population limit the transformation of Paris into a 21st
century major city, requiring urgent solutions.
The Landscape Urbanism academic studio aims to
reformulate existing fabrics and future projects that the Parisian suburbia and
metropolitan area are engaged with. Based on the Greater Paris urban
development Project, the studio proposes systems of organization seeking to
find methods and techniques mediating with large scale strategies.
The central ambition of the studio agenda is driven by
a continuous dissatisfaction with the current architectural trends suggesting
sentiments rather than architecture and over-proposing an architecture
materialised by several cosmetic tangible manipulations such as green alleys,
blue skies, etc.
