The two notebooks record a singular experience: a commission given by Beaumont\u2019s (Ard\u00e8che) elected officials to Construire<\/i> architecture studio \u2013 Patrick Bouchain, S\u00e9bastien Eymard, Lo\u00efc Julienne and Jean Lautrey \u2013 to construct eight social housing units. This bold initiative for a village of two hundred inhabitants is part of the pursuit of a municipal development policy to make housing accessible to all. It aims to counter the devitalization of villages due to a growing pressure on the land, to help set up young workers, and to maintain the staff of the single-class communal school.<\/p>\n
The first notebook, polyphonic<\/i>, tells the story of this collective adventure. It traces the elected officials\u2019 commitment (within the New Patrons<\/i> programme); the different stages of the project beginning with the PLU; the meeting with the architects, which leads, among other things, to an evolution of the specifications, but especially to a sharing of the same values: to involve the future inhabitants in the design of their future home, to encourage building your own home, and to give the act of building a cultural, collective and festive dimension.<\/p>\n
This story is also a reflection of endurance: It took eight years from the first meeting with Patrick Bouchain to the second stage of building three houses. The successive dissuasions and the obstacles encountered when the social housing norm is questioned are exposed, but there is also a commentary on the life of a building site, on the enthusiasm of the companies involved in constructing the houses, and the testimony of the first inhabitants of the Bogues de Blat<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The second notebook comprises a facsimile of the sketchbook that Patrick Bouchain took to each meeting at Beaumont. Besides the beauty of his drawings, Patrick Bouchain shows us his first glimpse of the chestnut forest, a dream-like moment when he discovered the site. The notebook provides access to a thought process and to the key concepts of the Bogues de Blat<\/i> in dialogue with the site, while recalling the values \u200b\u200bof the architect and those of Construire <\/i>architecture studio on modes of living.<\/p>\n
The combination of the two notebooks shows the reader the project\u2019s beauty.<\/p>\n
