The Barracks of Pion: Developing the Edge of the Park of Versaille (Harvard GSD Studio Report) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Barracks of Pion: Developing the Edge of the Park of Versailles is a Studio Report from the Spring 2015 semester at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Versailles is often considered the site of invention of the classical city. Strikingly, the shapes of the city respond to those of the park. This link between geography, agrarian structures, and urban forms is an extraordinary reference for the contemporary city. This spring 2015 studio focused on a site adjacent to the park-former military barracks, where the city is planning to develop a new neighborhood. At the center of this study was the construction of peri-urban areas, their inclusion in an agricultural territory, the deciphering and transposition of historical traces, and the invention of urban forms in relation to the creation of public spaces across the landscape.
