"Our project questions the conditions of production, leisure and habitat in rural areas. By understanding the built and landscape structures of Auneuil, our reflection was based on the constitution of a complete, balanced and structuring ecosystem. Our approach consisted in recreating broken or non-existent continuities, at different scales, in order to give an intelligible reading of this complex territory. The setting up of interfaces and collaboration between the programmatic and architectural mixes within the site leads to a rethinking of temporalities and life sequences."
