On the Ladauversière Park trail, follow the symbolic conifers

Year: 2017 -&#38;nbsp;
The Carré Casgrain is a vacant lot with a story in the
making. Initiated by dedicated local residents in 2017, the project began as a
simple vegetable garden on a privately-owned vacant lot and evolved into a
popular informal event space for three years in a row. The city now placed a
‘real-estate reserve’ and wants to buy and turn the land into a public park yet
maintained and programmed by the residents. Following the spectacular
destruction of the garden by the owner in 2019 as a retaliation strategy, this
vacant lot exemplifies a grassroots way to bring neighbors together, gaining
interest by local authorities and eventually creating new public space. Currently,
the city is negotiating the purchase of the land with the owner, a process that
can take between 2-4 years.

TERROIRS

	Location: Savennières, France



Program: Vineyard public space



Category: Master’s Thesis



Advisor: Gary Hilderbrand
Year: 2015-2016







From Territory to Terroir: Vineyard Public Space

The French concept of terroir claims that characteristics of
place can be traced through a wine’s taste. Yet, today local characteristics
tend to be overshadowed by the globalized wine-market where large corporations
shape the production, distribution, and consumption of wine worldwide, creating
wines with a uniform taste. In the Loire Valley, there is a counter current
whereby a growing number of its vintners have reintroduced traditional and
ecological growing techniques to bring out the true taste of the terroir in the
wine. &#38;nbsp;




















Using site-specific and economical means, the thesis provides
the rudiments for a shared public space. A seasonally-revolving public vineyard
space expresses local rituals, site and soil particularities, and unique
micro-climates. This public space fosters people’s understanding of the
necessity for the particular in vineyard landscapes thus demonstrating how
public vineyard space can express terroir. 



















Over 100 000 people per year migrate from urban to rural areas
in France seeing the countryside as an attractive destination. Yet, this
“neo-rural”
 lifestyle is disconnected from the surroundings and opportunities
for exchange and understanding of viticulture are limited. This thesis vouches
for developing vineyard public space through a deeper manifestation of terroir
thus reconnecting locals with their surroundings. The vast territory of
vineyard tracts in the Loire Valley is the ideal locus for a unique and
temporal public space blending productive, ecological, didactic, and contemplative
purposes. The vineyard becomes a complex public space--a space of exchange and
strengthened social ties among producers, locals, consumers, and tourists--that
offers a model for reordering the experience of the territory.

	

A seasonally-revolving public vineyard
space expresses local rituals, site and soil particularities, and unique
micro-climates.

“La Place” Site Plan
	

Harvest time is the single-most important event in the year. 

Inhabiting a fallow parcel between the rows, La Place becomes a shared gathering space celebrating the harvest season and fostering unique social ties between vintners, seasonal workers, and locals.

“La Coulée” - Site Plan


	La Coulée is a stream valley where fog and moisture are formed.  

An intermittent boardwalk solidifies pre-existing desire lines and crosses the stream in distinct ways to experience the field, the marsh, and the forest of the moist valley.

“La Terrasse” - Site Plan&#38;nbsp;

	A series of shallow terraces offer a flat surface for vintners to burn. 

Using a non-planted parcel for burning allows for rejuvenation of the soil with the ashes from the cuttings. After a couple of years, the soil's organic matter is sufficient to replant.

	Location: Loire Valley, France

Year: 2015

Landscape Viticulture is a field study examining organic and
biodynamic vineyards in order to extract ecological or cultural strategies used
in the vineyard that play a role in the expression of terroir in wine.




	

“Vines are the ideal plant to capture the microclimate through the leaves and the soil through the roots.”  Nicolas Joly

Ecological Growing 


With the emergence of bio-dynamic, and organic viticulture
methods, which exclude the use of pesticides and fertilizers, attention to the
vineyard landscape has increased. These methods stress the importance of the
specificity of the finished product and emphasize special characteristics in
the wine that are “truer” to the terroir than those produced by conventional
methods. Many growers have discovered that their wines have changed and differ
significantly from the protected origin or Appellation d’Origine Protegée (AOP) “standardized taste” within which they belong. This
phenomenon is mainly due to the total disappearance of chemical fertilizing,
pesticides and chemical weed-killers. Wines are therefore reflecting the true
characteristics of the soil.







	


















Encounters


The field research focused on interviewing vineyard owners of
the Loire Valley and understanding their growing philosophy. Visiting vineyards using the same grape varieties yet in different locations helped reveal the
impact of environmental, geological, and landscape conditions (constructed or
found) on the wine.

The scenes are sourced from
the strengths and characteristics of the city: city greening, innovative
technologies, quality of life, sports, gastronomy, research, and heritage. These
representations are anchored in the Angevine daily life through an inventive and
humoristic tone.

Forward-thinking and aware of what tomorrow will be made of,
Angers is a city which is constantly reinventing itself and wishes to embrace
the future fully. The fresco speaks for this vision by using modern and
colorful illustrations. The colors blue and red refer to the city’s historical
identity while green reflects the reputation of Angers, as the “greenest city”
in France. The length of the wall leads us to think of the fresco as a 
strong urban signal for the neighborhood in the making. All illustrations are
larger than life, without unnecessary details and will be visible by visitors
arriving by train.
	The most recognizable illustrations anchor the mural at each
end making it a true landmark for this new district.

		<description>LAGOA DAS 
FURNAS



















Location: Azores, Portugal



Program: Stream reclamation



Category: Academic, Harvard GSD



Instructors: Joao Nunes, Joao Gomes da Silva
Year: 2015

The
stream is an opportunity for linking more adequately the town and the lagoon by
foot.

























The caldera of Furnas and its famous lagoon sits 70m above the
town of Furnas. An overflow stream connects one to another through forested
areas, plantations of Igname, and the horticultural park of Terra Nostra. The
stream is an opportunity for linking more adequately the town and the lagoon by
foot. The project seeks to bring forth the stream in people’s imagination by
proposing a path with specific moments that allow for an increased interaction
with the stream and surroundings. Infrastructure and public space is
retrofitted and designed to create a more memorable experience. Stormwater management is integrated into the design features through adapting existing infrastructure.&#38;nbsp;

A lookout, a stream crossing, and a meandering walk create
new places to meet, reflect, and appreciate the landscape of the Azores.

Location: Jamaica Bay, New York

Islands in New York City have historically been used for alternative, illicit, or secluding activities. Jamaica Bay and Broad Channel island particularly used to be the center of the alcohol trade during prohibition. Because of its remoteness, isolation, and fog-prone environment, many rum-runners called the island home. Embracing the ephemeral and atmospheric qualities of fog as well as the island's location within the bay, Otherness, takes advantage of pre-conditions to establish a fog-facilitating landform in key locations throughout the bay. Infrastructural and urban elements are then deployed into this fog-scape in order to grant access and eventually occupation. The type of urbanism that is established borrows from the language of the illicit and creates different typologies of habitation such as drifting, floating, tethering, steaming, and viewing. Fog becomes the catalyst for a switch between a normative city and an illicit one.

Otherness takes advantage of pre-conditions to establish a fog-facilitating landform in key locations throughout the bay.
