Team point of view Our project seeks to re-open the site to its territory while preserving the unique features of Montpertuis and Palazol. The site’s occupation begins and is organised from the fringes. From 2015, the project implementation process establishes a geometry, paths and allocations that outline specific places that will flourish and gain density over time. The proposal combines: - a considered spatial composition based on the site’s assets and constraints; - spatial and functional conditions that both enable the installation of new economic activities and create a multiplicity of ambiences; - a permanent location that welcomes users into a constantly evolving and lively landscape. Each step has an objective and is self-sufficient. The final step completes a long-term vision without restricting the inherent value of those before. Jury point of view With no specific programming, the project proposes to introduce a landscape framework capable of accommodating programmatic randomness and achieving a certain balance and autonomy. The project links 3 of the site’s landscape entities via its fringes, highlighting them as activity interfaces. In this way, it establishes a landscape infrastructure capable of accommodating evolving programmes and contributes to a degree of energy autonomy on the site. The jury emphasised the proposal’s highly adaptable character, at both landscape and building level.
