The issue of everyday life and familiar spaces in architectural conception of cities and more generally the environment has been part of professionnal reflections, particularly since the end of the Second World War. We propose to establish their…
Calais, France. A northern, industrial city, destroyed then rebuilt, a port city at the end of the Channel tunnel, a transit city for migrants. But there's more to these pictures than meets the eye. Calais and its inhabitants used to periodically…
As cities are investing in urban (re)development projects, local residents are affected by the changes directly. It is difficult, however, to qualify these experiences. The objective of this paper is to explore the importance of a study that…
