"As a former active component of the beating heart of the Seine’s industrial valley, the city of Mantes-la-Jolie inherits a site marked by ambivalence: the abundance and richness of its built industrial heritage stand in opposition to the economic and ecological constraints imposed by massive soil pollution. Our project places this ambivalence at the core of a spatial strategy, combining the mapping of a toxic ecology with the logistics of excess material."
