Arc en rêve "Commun: une architecture avec les habitants"
Entrepôt, Bordeaux France
2022
The project defines alternative forms of urban production that exist outside the interests of capital, and empower urban sectors deeply rooted in the city but considered lesser, subordinate, or other, such as barrios. Creating connection between these urban spaces requires the expansion of community mental maps—those that typically begin with the familiar and expand through active city exploration help to overcome the city’s fragmentation. Communities engage in an organic process that promotes discovery, recognition, and the creation of networks. They draw—through physical presence and dialogue—over the traces of what already exists. The scenes in La Palomera, El Calvario and Colinas de Bello Monte in Caracas show the dynamics in and between neighborhoods and show communities become hybrids, synthesizing local knowledge and borrowed experiences.
