faire
Les derniers années nous ont montré que l’on vit dans une société fragile, séparée, isolée. Nous avons le besoin de rétablir des relations. faire se propose d’y participer à travers l’architecture, l’urbanisme et le design. faire c’est le travail pratique, du chantier, des prototypes, de la main, source intarissable d’enseignements : l’exigence technique change la manière de dessiner, la connaissance du dessin change la façon de fabriquer. faire c’est aussi la recherche, l’analyse, l’investigation des différents domaines de la pratique architecturale.
Et si au final il n’y avait pas de frontières ? Et si l’architecture était bien le projet de transformation de notre environnement ?
Coopérons pour dépasser les frontières, rétablissons des relations entre les lieux et les contextes, à travers les disciplines et les filières, avec les habitants et les clients. Serrons-nous, faisons communauté, participons à la construction d’une société conviviale. faire existe entre l’agence, l’université et l’atelier de menuiserie. faire existe entre pratique, enseignement et recherche.
Aujourd’hui, Federico Diodato et Nikhil Calas mènent cette aventure ensemble. Mais faire c’était aussi Brieuc Le Coz, ancien associé fondateur de l’agence : tous les projets jusqu’en juin 2020 sont signés avec lui. Désormais Brieuc a sa propre structure, allez visiter son site ! blcarchitecte.fr

[article] Towards Conviviality in Smart Territories
The Ecological Turn, Vol. 5 (2022), Bk Books, Delft.
Today, smart planning models are beginning to show aspects of fragility, with Sidewalk Labs’ abandonment of the Quayside Toronto project being an emblematic example.
This fragility indicates the need to deconstruct these powerful narratives and reflect on the appropriate application of ICT devices to spatial planning.
The article aims to analyse the power of the dominant narrative, that of the smart city, which confers to the models of territorial development a conceptual value finalised in the production of economic value.
The smart models present a series of limitations:
Spatial ones, by creating a disconnection between physical and digital spaces;
Political ones, by reducing territorial governance to its technical dimension;
Social ones, by externalising and privatising public services.
These limitations imply the delegation of the control of these technological devices with which we interact.
After the analysis of smart planning, the article will explore an alternative approach regarding the use of technology. This approach will be based on Ivan Illich’s conviviality theory, and will aim to examine the development of smart territories as a place of reintegration of social relations and community in order to outline a different relationship with technology.
Could technology establish an ethical relationship between territory and community?
