VULGARE

Built in 1970-1978, designed by architect Carlo Scarpa. It’s located beside the cemetery of San Vito d’Altivole. For the Brion Tomb, Scarpa established a new landscape within an old one, constructed a complex narrative out of startlingly fresh free-standing forms, and explored radical design and construction techniques to effect them.

Postulate

Study on the transition of space, its value as the first image of Paris towards the world, Charles de Gaulle Airport by plane, Gare de Lyon by railway, and Paris Bercy Interchange by road.

If they are… Where are they?
Wondering about the geographical location of these sites makes inevitable to wonder about their relationship with their close environments, their connections not obvious as other “events” of the landscape can be. Let’s say that if one cannot doubt that they maintain the relations… it is hard to imagine the content of those and even with which they maintain them, such allies that snub their adjacent neighbors.
Does Roissy Charles-of-Gaulle Airport maintain an intimate contact with these fields and villages along its boundary?  To which cities is it close? Paris or Gonesse? The tarmac of the airport or Paris-Roissy Charles-of-Gaulle is located on 6 communes at 50 km of Paris and of an area equivalent to one third of Paris, that is 3.174 hectares.
Set of geographic attributes, once assembled, sometimes quasi answers to their existing space developments. But in fact these sites have contacts so particular and absent that it is difficult to draw obvious connections.
The geographic definition of these sites is low leads. That is to say the tarmac out of the cities, the stations in the cities and the road junctions at the entries of the cities.
Cause and future of particular location of the Transit zones is a study/projection of the future of landscape of Roissy Charles de Gaulles Airport, Paris-Bercy  Interchange and Gare de Lyon in Paris.

Connecting Brive-la-Gaillarde to the north and Montauban to the south, via Souillac on the Dordogne and Cahors on the Lot, the A20 traverses the complex terrain of the Causses necessitating embankments and cuttings sometimes up to 50m in height. Signes was declared winner of the international competition for a proposal based on a system of earth modelling and planting evoking the idea of ‘stitches’ on each side of the motorway which, in turn, set up a resonance between it and the passing countryside. In November 2002, Signes was awarded the Ruban d’Or by the Ministère de l’Equipement for the earth modelling and landscaping carried out on the A20.
