preserving the void | the lack of program

Ομάδα διαπερατότητα: δείτε το παράδειγμα της Melun-Senart, των OMA. Η στρατηγική τους ξεκινά όχι απο το πρόγραμμα, αλλα αντίθετα απο την απουσία προγράμματος, το άκτιστο, το κενο. Αυτή η αντίστροφη στρατηγίκή έχει ενδιαφέρον και μπορεί να σας βοηθήσει


"The site of Melun Senart, the last of the Villes Nouvelles that encircle Paris, is too beautiful to imagine a new city there with innocence and impunity.

The vastness of the landscape, the beauty of the forests and the calm of the farms form a daunting presence, hostile to any notion of development.

The built is now fundamentally suspect. The unbuilt is green, ecological, popular. If the built – le plein – is now out of control – subject to permanent political, financial turmoil – the same is not yet true of the unbuilt; nothingness may be the last subject of plausible certainties.

At a moment when the complexity of each three-dimensional undertaking is infernal, the preservation of the void is comparatively easy. In a deliberate surrender – tactical maneuver to reverse a defensive position – our project proposes to extend this political shift to the domain of urbanism: to take urbanism’s position of weakness as its premise"
