Paysages partagés
Collection: Les Cahiers de l’École de Blois
Olivier Gaudin (dir.)
Publication date: June 2025

Without interactions, there can be no human environment; likewise, the interdependent relationships between elements, plants and organisms ensure their survival. Landscapes can only be plural and shared. Ecosystems, connections, symbioses… this lexicon is transposed from ecology to landscape design projects, as gestures of resistance and solidarity are invented in the face of these experiences of dissonance. Shared landscapes: by whom, with whom, in whose name? Where, since when and for how long? The answers lie in situated cooperative experiments, in which the challenge is to learn how to combine environments. In this spirit, these Cahiers explore dispersed geographies – from Alsace to the Alps and Saxony to the West Indies, via Gironde, Burgundy, the Loire and Rhône rivers, Paris, eastern Bosnia and the dunes of Calais. Landscape projects rub shoulders with educational experiments, a graphic narrative and photographic and poetic proposals.
