Betting on a rebound, I introduce 'LARGE', a landscape-based design methodology to generate large-scale, coherent, circular and socially rooted identities for these cities. I acted in Vierzon - a city I knew quite well already- and its valley landscape, changing its paths from deprecation to a new fascination.

Implementing meaningful spatial strategies ...

... generating new living environments,

... building an attractive and resilient valley ...

... in between nature and leisures.
