The housing estate, whether it is built by a charity, developer, government or cooperative, is essentially a collection of dwellings disposed in space. The design of this negative space is as significant as that of the individual unit – a precept that has not always been sufficiently acknowledged. From the medieval almshouse to the blocks of Pruitt-Igoe, estate-space has changed in function and texture, coagulating and thinning with and against the space of the city and the wider territory.

J’ai vu cette très belle expo la semaine dernière. Ça regorge de documents anciens très originaux, cartes, plans d’urbanismes, photos... DAns la partie Casablanca, j’ai découvert une série étonnante de cartes thématique établies par les services d’un urbaniste français en poste au Maroc à l’époque : Michel Ecochard. J’en partage une avec vous, c’est une repréentation originale de l’évolution de la population. Toutes les autres suivront :
