C’est d’abord dehors que tout commence…

L'Atlas des paysages (The Landscape Atlas) is the result of an educational experiment initiated by a team of lecturer-architects at the ENSASE (École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Saint-Étienne) during an off-site workshop: the Atelier Rural. The initial process in a collective quest, L'Atlas combines the didactic singularities of the two project semesters of the BA and MA cycles. The experiment starts without any preliminaries - no studies or documents, no introductory talks - with explorations out of doors, for three whole days. After being out and about discovering the rural area on foot, the participants then move indoors, into a workshop, to draw up a shared knowledge base: L'Atlas des paysages. Inventing and making maps in all sorts of forms, sometimes enigmatic, proposing sensitive ways of restoring a fragmented world, this atlas is a record of a concrete immersion in shared imaginary worlds.
