Cet ensemble de grands arbres et de sous-bois plantés dans l’hypercentre de Paris est l’un des quatre aménagements inédits promis par Anne Hidalgo. L’idée lui est venue du paysagiste Michel Desvigne et de l’écologue Marine Linglart, auteurs d’une charte sur le sujet pour ses services.

L’agence française Michel Desvigne Paysagiste réalisera, avec l’architecte britannique Norman Foster, un lieu rendant hommage à celle qui aura régné durant 70 ans sur le Royaume-Uni. Son fondateur dessine, pour « Le Moniteur », les grands contours de ce monument commémoratif qui sera en grande partie végétal, et implanté au cœur du parc londonien de Saint-James.

Sans doute ferait-il honneur à ses mentors, ceux qui l’ont formé et lui ont transmis
l’exigence conceptuelle à l’École de Versailles, tant le travail de Michel Desvigne
et ses équipes fait l’éloge de la rigueur esthétique et, selon ses dires, d’une frugalité
formelle. Rencontre.

Triennale Milano - The New Landscaping - Editoriale Lotus n°177

Landscape is a representation in which both changes in the way we see things and modifications of the Earth’s surface are reflected. Photographic reportages produced over the last few decadeshave accustomed us to looking with a critical eye at many dramatic and spectacular situations dueto the effects of earthquakes, deforestation, etc. A new dramaturgy has entered scenes of thelandscape, influencing the way we perceive the world. Taking account of the fact that architectsact in situ, i.e. on the terrain—unlike painters, writers, photographers, and the like, who operatefrom a visual perspective—we will examine multiple experiments with the adoption of anarchitecture suited to restoring an environment to health, if necessary, even by means of areasof urban afforestation.

I casi studio ci hanno fornito la misura dei diversi "tessuti" che compongono la citta e delle loro possibili trasformazioni. l!estetica che ne emerge si presta a estendersi alla scala territoriale. Am pie unita geografiche continue costeggiano ii fiume, prendendo ii posto

The case studies have given us the measure of the different "fabrics" that make up the city, and their possible transformations. The intent is to extend the aesthetic that has emerged to the scale of the landscape. Vast expanses of geographical continuity, running along the river, are taking the place of major works of infrastructure, and are inserted into the districts following old routes for the supply of water.
