Team point of view
How can we create the conditions for a living city? It seems obvious to our team to succeed in acting despite the uncertain world we know. Our project must be able to adapt to unforeseeable future scenarios, by working on the implementation of possibilities rather than imposing fixed systems that are too exposed to hazards. More than a project, we propose a process to implement the milestones of a living, open and adaptable city. A humble intervention that echoes the current financial stakes and can face the non-binary futures that await us in a serene manner. A re-foundation of the city on the natural elements that saw its birth: the Artière flowing in its heart and the Limagne plain preserved as a horizon.

Jury Point of View
This original proposal expresses a strong and precise position on the method of building the city on the city. The landscape component, very concrete in its resolution, plays a critical role, and explores both human and nonhuman habitats. The jury identified several levels of interest: the response to the climate crisis, the land question and the role of private actors.
