"A living city is understood in terms of both its day-to-day and long-term temporality, in terms of climate and societal change, and in terms of a forward-looking vision based on the heritage of soils and environments. The project reveals this heritage in tourist centers such as the medieval heart of Guérande, but also in more ordinary urban forms such as the Athanor center : the concept of the "living city" as a way of thinking about change takes on its full meaning."
