232 The amateur… makes what is unpredictable possible Team point of view The Amateur is driven by a passion and interest. He wants to share his culture and knowledge to create high quality architecture in opposition to an ever-growing consumer system that stifles originality. The suggested approach draws on the economic model of the cooperative, in which builders and beneficiaries work together to adapt the local heritage. An emphasis on drawing as a tool of dialogue generates a comprehensive architecture. This approach has the versatility to adapt to diverse territorial contexts, through a non-interventionist political sharing of skills and power between specialist and citizen. Jury point of view This project-process focuses on the levers needed for the town to transform itself on itself. The jury considered the proposed method appropriate in its scale and principle. The proposed process was felt to be innovative but also very serious, robust and well constructed, able to serve as a model for other similar sites. The project process fully meets the objectives of the session theme, particularly in its capacity to put in place a catalyst that is sensitive to the existing qualities.
