Ordinary Disjunctions

Ordinary disjunctions is a crossed study of territorial samples. It comes from the two study projects interest on common territories, out of architects concern, far from exceptional situations and great projects. It is illustrated through Gien, the medium-sized city and Vineuil, the periurban place.

A large part of Gien, however, doesn’t reflect either one of these two logics and is overlooked. While at first glance there is little life and a lake of connection with the environment, a more in-depth study reveals little by little richnesses : in daily use with external home functions, in flexibility toward property or in social relationships with micro-interactions. Integrated into daily life and seemingly anecdotal, they are forgotten. Yet those proximity details are the real wealth of Gien. They are to be valued enhanced and valued through focused actions that would both lean on and developp them. It’s indeed in this part of the city that’s it’s possible to exploit opportunities, taking advantage of the low démographic pressure to mobilize the area potential. The developped projects involve a proximity social space supported by the city, and social housing in order to realign them into the residential experience. They offer to associate the different city players into simple and efficient actions.\nIt is through the physical land surveying of the Vineuil territory and the quantified scenarios that our attention focuses on typologically unsuitable land micro units regarding the economic balance of the mixed development zones and subdivisions that only produce approximately 25% social housing units per operation. The 100% social projected scenario builds on the capacity of new contracting project ownership to be experimented in constrained and diverse contexts. A dissociation between landed property and built property would allow the Solidarity Land Office to accompany them through a solidarity lease and would allow them to invest part of the revenue released by the real estate in more qualitative constructions. We draw a response to this scenario for a standard situation of the identified peri-urban neglected people on the Vineuil territory; the landscape strips. Between density and economic model dictated by capping rents, the sample must welcome 6 individual social housing units and show a close neighborhood care and value the role of the garden as a major place for social interactions.
