1. How do you define the main issue of your project in relation with the theme “Living Cities Imagining architecture taking care of the milieus”? And in which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution?
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.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The multi-site approach permits to envisage a project-process that works in fragments and systematizes interventions on several scales of time and space. As demonstrators of this process, the transformation of public spaces is based on their intrinsic qualities: a network of trees, pathways, areas of biodiversity. It calls on local residents and local know-how, as well as new players in the area, to revitalize the historic link between the city and the wider landscape.
