Et en quoi l’architecture et l’urbanisme peuvent-ils se compléter pour concevoir une ville harmonieuse à différentes échelles, plutôt que de ne produire qu’une série de bâtiments accolés les uns aux autres? Ces questions, entre autres, continuent d’être fondamentales dans la construction urbaine. Si beaucoup pensent que les solutions numériques et les données – par exemple des « villes intelligentes » – sont la réponse à de tels enjeux, la ville elle-même offre un terreau fertile à l’exploration continuelle : ses trames physique, historique et sociale existantes, son contexte topographique, ses textures et ses visages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eL’atout de la ville c’est qu’elle n’a jamais été parfaite\u003c\/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;se penche sur ses projets urbains sous l’angle de son approche expérientielle de la compréhension d’un lieu, de sa forme, de son histoire intrinsèque et de son existence.
