Taking the recent decline in ‘automobilities’ as a departure point, in this article, we reconstruct the constant opposition of pedestrian and car that marked the theoretical debates as well as the urban projects throughout the last century to better unders ...
In the second half of the 1990s, due to growing heterogeneity and fragmentation of the social and urban structure and the arrival of new lifestyles (of nationals and migrants), Swiss cities started taking charge of the challenges of migrant integration. In ...
For the past century, the urban underground has been developed piece-meal out of necessity rather than as the object of a long-term planning effort. The underground contains not only potential usable space, but also raw materials, groundwater and geotherma ...
During the last decades, geography has lost its epistemological exceptionality, but is this enough? Social sciences are commonly threatened by methodological nationalism and, more generally, by methodological communalism, that is the corruption of a scient ...
The Deep City project at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne has, for the past several years, been developing a method to identify and qualify the urban areas where underground development is high, particularly for human activities. The fourth dis ...
I propose an essay for understanding how we experiment the fluidity, the density and diversity of the urban space. I purpose to reveal what I call the remix experience, that is to say the habit to of newness and otherness. This habit shows us the importanc ...
