This contest was ignited by the association "La manufacture des paysages". It falls under the ethical choices that implied the creation of the association: Taking into account the creative, individual, universal and local dimensions of the human being. The human being taken in a beam of cross glances and its effects of meetings, the human being in its capacity to think the world and in its capacity of implementation. The "manufacture des paysages" wants to make out of Villeneuvette a place where evocations, germinations, surprises and ideas will converge. A space where other interrogations could be raised and that could generate inventiveness elsewhere. Villeneuvette: resource place, place to be resourced, place to resource. It is in this context that was first developed the idea of a competition axed on an urban problematic. It takes part in a questioning confronted to a critical glance in connection with urbanity like character of human measurement and capacity of meeting. It is in opposition to the world as it is today and towards where it is going which opens the way to consuming requirements. We wish to establish this competition through its capacity of invention and of surprise in a search to reflect proposals which can cause citizens choices.

Topics - Axes - Tracks
Several topics can beings evoked and suggested with the present: ranging from a very broad scale, as the "Coeur d’Hérault", to a more intimate one, as Villeneuvette its self. An interrogation on the "Coeur d’Hérault", as a territory. Its essence, its significance, its own identity. The access to the "Coeur d’Hérault" having the freeway for starting point. Which treatment or landscape organization could difference this "gate" from the others along the freeway and give it the importance it deserves? The urban quality of the old neighborhoods and the "no mans land" due to the urban spreading which characterizes the recent urban developments. Economic aspects related to the substitution of arable soils by allotment projects. Ideas and proposals for artistic, and even poetic actions. These interventions could apply to the country Larzac-Coeur d’Hérault or to a much smaller one, the borough of Villeneuvette. Villeneuvette as a place of resource, on a formal level, and "pattern" which could suggest shapes of habitat. Villeneuvette as a sensitive space, having a "presence" which touches those who penetrate it. The ingeniousness of its waterworks, on a technological level as well as an element landscape. The quality of its urban frame very circumscribed and surrounded by broad, open landscapes. The factory itself and its potentialities from a contemporary point of view. In relation with the landscape and the water: places to live, workshops. The relation between memory and project, on a formal level as well as on one of organization and expression.
