SCÈNE INDUSTRIELLE

Towards a productive transformation of the industrial sites on the banks of the Seine.

This study focuses on the reconversion of the industrial heritage of the Seine valley in the Yvelines. This territory, by its marked morphology, has attracted numerous industries along the banks confiscating large areas of land. However, today, the process of deindustrialisation projects a strong loss of dynamism on the valley floor.

So how can yesterday’s factories on the banks of the Seine, no longer in use, be productive in a different way tomorrow?

These sites are sometimes disused, in a state of fallow land, in the process of being disused or still in activity, yet they are all familiar to us through their monumental position in the landscape. To observe and understand them, certain tools borrowed from other disciplines are essential.
