Main themes
Le cours explore différentes façons de co-habiter avec le vivant, par les paysages qui en sont l’expression et les pratiques sociales et techniques qui les façonnent. Un parcours chronologique et géographique qui explore l’Europe et les Suds permet de dégager les rapports pluriels de l’homme au vivant et les grands enjeux contemporains de l’habiter dans une éthique du soin, en symbiose avec les ressources du vivant. Au travers d’une grille d’analyse qui intègre des éléments de contexte (environnemental, historique et socioculturel), le cours présente des principes et techniques de projet territorial du vivant.
