Grand Paris_ Landscape Urbanism Academic Research
By Jorge Ayala, at the ESA Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture, Paris
Paris and its suburbs represent a working population of 5.5 million people. More than 11 million inhabitants are distributed within 12,000 square kilometers, out of those, 2 million people live within 105 square kilometers.
Geographic conditions, cultural and socio-racial interaction, political problems and a constantly increasing unprivileged population limit the transformation of Paris into a 21st century major city, requiring urgent solutions.
These parametric digital models are the exploration of spatial configurations suggesting several levels of engagement with existing conditions: topography, rainfall flows, ground conditions and residual landscape, among others.
The Landscape Urbanism Studio at the Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture aims to reformulate both -existing and proposed projects- the Parisian suburbia is engaged with, by trying to question them. The studio led by Jorge Ayala proposes systems of organization seeking to find methods and strategies in order to inform the development of this region. The Paris Agenda starts proposing a series of actions capable of coordinating new modes of urban transformation.
