SHARED MAIN NOTIONS

HUMAN ACTIVITIES

ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION > The term transition is defined in the Larousse dictionary as the progressive passage between two states. It can concern a person, an idea or a development. In these terms, the ecological transition therefore affects both people - driven by a collective consciousness - ideas - put in place by specific tools - and development, which is meant to be subsidiary and local.

THE ANTHROPOCENE

CLIMATE CHANGE

PEAK OIL

Rob Hopkins, a British permaculture teacher and forerunner of the Cities in Transition movement, defines this model ‘‘a more local organisation of life that is more productive while using energy more efficientl’’.

According to Alberto Magnaghi, architecturban planner and founder of the territorialist movement in Italy, it is not ‘‘Gaïa’’ as a living system that is in danger because nature will always adapt, but the survival of the human species in the face of the collapse of ecosystems is at stake.

The challenge of our era lies in the adjustment of our consumerist lifestyles in order to tend towards a co-habitation between human and his environment. The ecological transition is not unique. It is a complex notion that encompasses issues related to energy, agri-food, the local economy and eco-construction.

(Source: Federation of Regional Nature Parks) The first mission of the Park is to connect people, driven by the awareness of a common destiny around the Verdon River. The latter justified the creation of the Park by the need to manage conflicting interests on the use of the river, the lake sites and the aquatic environments associated with it.

(Source: INSEE data from the Regional Nature Park of Verdon, April 2015) The Verdon region offers all year round the possibility to practise a large number of outdoor activities.

Mountains and gorges, plateaus and hills, rivers and lakes, forests and villages, are the places for the pleasure of walking, climbing, sailing, flying and discovering. Sporting activities are a real tourist attraction, with information points, accommodation, restaurants etc.

By confronting each participant with each other’s point of view, new debates have emerged.

The compact, stepped layout of the village makes it difficult for both drivers and pedestrians to access certain points.

COMMUNITY INTERVIEWS The aim is to create a community map that conveys a collective vision of the village and its territory.

We met with different actors of the territory to nourish our exploration of the places and imagine together what the future of the commune could be.

We provided blank maps, a legend and predefined colours. The objective is to feed/complete this map in small groups, during interviews with the inhabitants.

The colours correspond to the ‘‘delicate’’, ‘‘character’’ and ‘‘under study’’ spaces.

SPACES OF CHARACTER The inhabitants show a significant attachment to the olive groves located at the entrance of the village, which have views and are suitable as a park, as well as the track along the lake and the wooded plots.

DELICATE SPACES According to the Bauduennois, the major problem of the village seems to be linked to the invasive parking in the summer season, and to the saturation of the lakeside road, nicknamed ‘‘la croisette’’.

SPACES UNDER STUDY They expressed their need for play areas for children, their desire for a health trail and a pedestrian link to think about the outskirts of the village. They also lack a cultural space and a meeting place, festive, intergenerational and common to the inhabitants of the village centre and the countryside.

1962-1980: A TERRITORY TO REINVENT

1980-2018: A SEASONAL TERRITORY

2018-2028: A TERRITORY TRANSITIONING

The Verdon river posed severe problems: in winter the high floods devastated the crops while in summer the drought and the lack of drinking water was felt. In 1962, EDF launched the project for a «big lake» up to 500m of coastline. The inhabitants then sold their land and their houses, gradually deserting the village of Bauduen, which was doomed to submersion. Finally spared after the coast was lowered to 482m, Bauduen, once an agricultural area, became a popular tourist destination for campers in the 1980s.

Although the flooding of the lake was a trauma for many of the inhabitants, whose lives and memories were submerged, another economy, linked to summer tourism, developed rapidly, gradually attracting new people to live in Bauduen ‘‘the port of haut var’’.

Although economic resilience has been found, it remains nevertheless unique and temporary during the year. The inhabitants are confronted with two dynamics: the high summer season, intense and open; the low winter season, calm and closed.

The Stopover project aims at a more sustainable tourism around and on the lake of Sainte-Croix, thanks to mobility, reception and mediation structures. The goal is also to complement the tourist economy with an agricultural and cultural economy specific to Bauduen. Enhancing these identities and linking them to a unifying project means being able to extend beyond the Park of Verdon and be recognised in an exemplary approach as a transitioning commune, responding to global issues such as living on the new coastlines.

A QUIET VILLAGE IN WINTER

The meeting places are located at the level of the walks such as the track or the paths in the olive grove, in front of the more institutional places such as the town hall, the castle (reception room), the association ‘‘joie de vivre’’, and the petanque ground. The lake is not very present in the daily life of the Bauduennois and is little used in winter.

A BUSY VILLAGE IN SUMMER

Legend pedestrian flow car flow touristic flow gathering points lake activities

The sudden attractiveness of Bauduen emphasises the lack of organisation and infrastructure to accommodate and co-habitate a population that declines in summer, from 300 residents to more than 3,000.One of the major problems is linked to the invasive parking in summer and the dead-end street that is the village.

The meeting of these populations enables the creation and diversification of activities on the lake. These activities aim to generate a yearround local economy and to sustainably fit into the environment.

The programme of the Stopoever project is mixed and independent of the time of the year. It is a lake station, a unifying and dynamic place where uses are adapted according to different temporalities. It is a junction point between land and lake, a new gate, a place of both pause and transition, punctuated by the life of the inhabitants and by tourist flows. The architectural space created becomes a landmark for the village and a signal from the lake.

A PROJECT TRIGGERING OPPORTUNITIES The Stopover project proposes a reception structure and alternative forms of mobility that

are currently lacking in the area.

The site is made up of several environments: rural, built and aquatic. Today these environments are juxtaposed. The aim is to connect these environments in order to diversify uses and allow interaction between people (residents/tourists).

There is little communication between the actors of the territory. The main challenges are hospitality and co-habitation between all these actors.

The project also involves two dynamics to be dealt with: an active, public and intense time (during the day, in high season) and a calmer,

The Stopover is conceived as a federating place that organises space and encourages union and convergence. Bringing residents and tourists to practise the same space means thinking about the reversibility of these activities, depending on the season. It also means offering an additional communication support for the actors of the PNR. It is an active architecture favouring stopping and sociability, discovering the lake and the village.

Living on the shores of the village of Bauduen in all seasons is : 1. Discovering and accessing the municipality in a different way, via a network of electro-solar lake shuttles.

PLAN DE MASSE 1/1000

2. To meet and promote know-how, agricultural production, park value and land value: associative coffee, groceries and agricultural market.

3. To cultivate, express oneself, experiment, enjoy oneself: workshops made available for artists’ residencies, associations, village meetings,...

The project was built by a succession of compositional guidelines, the aim being to fit in with the scale and identity of the site. The current site consists of inhabited restanques, embankment vegetation and an unexploited forecourt overlooking the lake.

Hospitality is the action of receiving at home, of welcoming. The Verdon being a very touristic area, I defined the following program where both inhabitants & tourist can feel welcomed.

All the materials chosen for this project are local. The Douglas fir and driftwood shadehouse is supported by a stone retaining wall. Small pavilions made of wood framing, insulated with lavender straw and coated with lime, are placed under the shadehouse.

The façades are punctuated by the play of light and shade. The volumes have an opening on the south facade and a zenithal opening. The aim is to circulate and bring to the village while being in visual connection with the lake.

The Stopover is a point of junction between the land and the lake, a place of convergence, pause and transition at the same time. It is a gate and a signal for the village of Bauduen. It is a new connection to the territory of the Verdon.
