Short Stories

2021
Team point of view
The project «Short Stories from the fragmented city» takes the form of four micro-territorial short stories, each of which takes as its starting point the observation of a local phenomenon, specific uses and situated lifestyles. This in order to imagine the reconfiguration of a situation, the development of a «weak» centrality to try to trace its large-scale implications. This zoomed-out approach suggests thinking of the territory through the vitality of these fragments in order to grasp the potentialities of organisation on a large scale, instead of starting from a definition of a large territory that would give particular qualities to the local.

Jury Point of View
The team proposes a clever method of analysis and projection, suitable to a multipolar territory, with a capacity to project to a territorial scale based on a typology of localised situations and proposals. The panels are immediately legible and coherent, showing how each element plays a role and how the assemblage of the fragments constitutes a narrative. This proposal establishes pertinent milestones for a project approach with the capacity to connect all the scales.
