For the twelfth edition of the competition EUROPAN publishes the catalogue of the winning projects on 51 European sites from the 16 participating countries.
This book constitutes a unique panorama in Europe of young European talented designers working between the urban and architectural scales. When the change of paradigm induced by sustainable development becomes a reality, but also at a time when the urban and building economy is in crisis, this catalogue reflects a clear evolution of ideas and design modes. This is what makes it interesting.
The first part of the catalogue presents interpretations around the most symbolic E12 winning projects; the interpretations are based on 5 main themes of the Adaptable City and present the vision of different European experts:
– Fields and Narratives, by Carlos ARROYO, architect, urban planner, linguist, teacher, Madrid (ES)
– From Mono-Large Enclaves to Multi-Mixed Neighbourhoods, by Didier REBOIS, architect, teacher and Europan General Secretary, Paris (FR)
– In Quest of Urban Ecorhythms, by Chris YOUNÈS, philosopher, anthropologist, director of the Gerphau research laboratory (FR)
