FOREWORD
The Erasmus Intensive Program named as ‘A Comparative Study of the
contribution of in-between places to urban life, «Passing, Passage, Arcades»
as semi-public spaces’ relies on the outgoing studies that have been done
since 2009 by MSFAU and ENSAL basically on the notion of “passing”. In
2012, PdT joined the team and the subject extended as semi-public places
including transmitting. The basic aim was to study among the intersection
of diferent scales; architectural and urban scales.
The three years IP program started with 15 days of workshop “by_pass_ing
karaköy” in Istanbul at 2013. The main aim of the workshop was to collect
data, accumulate the knowledge in order to compare diferent forms and
make proposals on semi-public transition places in such diferent cultures
and geographies. With “passing” notion as the main topic, the subtitles
can be exempliied as; their formation process during the history, physical
features in the city morphology, physical and social determiners that
compose them, what kind of a life do these places carry, how can these
traditional/local places change according to today’s expectations and
requirements.
It is aimed that attendant schools organize student workshops, which is
generated by the presentations according to an identiied issue every year.
In these workshops the objective is to make the student detect, analyze
and suggest spatial designs on the semi-public transition places that are
placed in the determined areas. These workshops aim to improve the
students’ experiences on developing a solution on a speciic area, to make
them look from a diferent perspective towards the issue of designing
semi-public places.
The inal product including all these data and the suggestions produced
vii
during the workshops and meetings of the whole project made every
year is published.
viii
‘by_pass_ing karaköy Workshop’ was a fruitful experience. The inal
projects showed us how in a short time period existence of diferent
cultures could enrich a design process, how enthusiasm could bring
dynamism and productivity to the studio hours and how workshop
ideas could be useful sources for future projects. This encouraged us
to continue our aim in order to realize this experience of ‘working on
in-between spaces’ in our other two cities, Lyon and Turin. Therewith
the workshop of 2014 is organized in Lyon, in order to work on the
‘traboules’ of this city and to concentrate on the subject of ‘transitional
spaces’. During this organization and afterwards process, we would like
to thank to some powers behind the throne, which contributed crucially
to the whole process; Ahmetcan Alpan (MSGSU), Aylin Ayna (MSGSU), all
the administration stuf of ENSAL, especially Luc Bousquet and Olivier
Chabert.
We present proudly this second book, which includes Lyon workshop’s
lectures and inal productions of students.

The Erasmus Intensive Program named as ‘A Comparative Study of the
contribution of in-between places to urban life, «Passing, Passage, Arcades»
as semi-public spaces’ relies on the outgoing studies that have been done
since 2009 by MSFAU/Istanbul and ENSAL/Lyon basically on the notion of
“passing”. In 2012, PT/Turin joined the team and the subject extended as
semi- public places including transmitting spaces inside the city.
The basic aim was to study among the intersection of diferent scales in the
city; those are architectural and urban scales, which were given an identity
to the quality of spaces of the city for its character.
The three years IP program (2012/2013/2014) started with 15 days of
workshop “by_pass_ing karaköy” in Istanbul at 2013. Than in 2014 the
working groups went to Lyon to work on “up&down; the hill of the croixrousse”, which is so unique for the urban design heritage of the city.
The main aim of the workshop was to understand the city and collect data,
accumulate the knowledge in order to compare diferent forms and make
proposals on semi-public transition places in such diferent cultures and
geographies. With “passing” notion as the main topic, the subtitles can be
exempliied as; their formation process during the history, physical features
in the city morphology, physical and social determiners that compose them,
what kind of a life do these places carry, how can these traditional/local
places change according to today’s expectations and requirements. Lyon
is a special city to deine the textile industry and the silk manufacturing for
ages now it is time to understand the city of 21st century for sustainable
urban design. So groups were working to understand this heritage for the
historical quality of the city as a unique element of urban design.
4
IP programs aimed that students will study for the workshop, which is
generated by the presentations according to an identiied issue and the
cities every year. In these workshops, the objective is to make the student
to understand, detect, analyze and suggest spatial designs on the semipublic transition places that are placed in the determined areas. These
workshops aim to improve the students’ experiences on developing a
solution on a speciic area, to make them look from a diferent perspective
towards the issue of designing semi-public places.
5
The inal product including all these data and the suggestions produced
during the workshops and meetings of the whole project made every
year is published. “by_pass_ing karaköy” workshop was a special and
unique experience. The inal projects showed us how in a short time
period existence of diferent cultures could enrich a design process, how
enthusiasm could bring dynamism and productivity to the studio hours
and how workshop ideas could be useful sources for future projects. This
encouraged us to continue our aim in order to realize this experience of
‘working on in-between spaces’ in our other two cities, Lyon and Turin.
Therewith the workshop of 2014 is organized in Lyon, in order to work on
the ‘traboules’ of this city and to concentrate on the subject of ‘transitional
spaces’ were so special. We present proudly this second book, which
includes Lyon workshop’s lectures and inal productions of students.
This is a wonderful chance for all of us to work together, to learn together,
to understand the diferent cities together, discuss subjects together,
given critique together, to create new ideas together being a kind of family
together, so this book is representing all the works within the IP Project
process, I may say that it was so successful period of time for all.
00.INTRODUC TION
Special thanks to Mr. Ege Hilmi Türemen Consulate General of TURKEY in
LYON; we won’t be successful if he did not support us from beginning of
the IP to the end. He shared all the process with us, formal and informal
way, by joining to the workshop, given critics to works, and inviting to
dinner all the members of the IP to his Oicial House, so many thanks for
all his collaboration.
We are very proud to present the results in this book, now, as a coordinator
of the IP Project I would like to say thank you very much to Prof. Yalçın
KARAYAĞIZ Rector of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University for his sensitive
supports for all the IP Project process. From organization process to printing
of the book he was always with us.
6
And also it was great pleasure for us to work with Madam Nathalie
Mezureux, Director of ENSAL in every part of our collaborative and hard
works in LYON. So many thanks as especially to her and each member
of her group, for all academics and thanks to Özlem Lamontre-Berk for
all successful organization. Thanks again to the all members of the IP
participants, groups, students, academics, lecturers, from part of each
groups, for all their eforts, from beginning to now, inishing by this book.
Many thanks for İnci, Sinem and Serim for book organization and result.
I am sure that we will be sharing our experience in a diferent way in our
future works; I wish my best and thanks for all.

diversifying scales
in faculty of architecture
“Education should show and illustrate the multiple facets of
human Fate: fate of the human species, individual fate, social fate,
historical fate, all these fates mixed together and inseparable.
One of the essential vocations of the education of the future
will be the investigation and study of human complexity. It
will lead to knowledge (prise de connaissance) that will give
awareness (prise de conscience) of the common condition
of all human beings; the very rich and necessary diversity of
individuals, peoples, cultures; and our rootedness as citizens of
the Earth... “ (Morin, 1999, s.28-29)
Architecture and Urban Planning are such disciplines that have their own
specialized knowledge while they are correlated with each other because
of their work items. Although they practice “the city” from diferent scales
sometimes, their productions, discussions and work base the same point;
human creates the city; he transforms, produces, reproduces; he lives
it and provides it to low like an organism. However, during education
periods, sometimes these two disciplines can be alienated to each other.
Sometimes, urban scale remains supericial in architectural education;
sometimes, architectural scale, human scale remains such abstract traces
in urban planning studios. Alongside, usually, the student’s intellect may
get stuck into a reduced point of view towards only one objective while it
has to be in a kind of endless low among such diferent scales and diverse
perspectives. This situation mostly is because of the constricted curriculum
and the studios’ dense programming both in theoretically and practically,
8
that the student has to complete. In higher education, milieu’s multiperspective density, which provides improving the perception capacity,
designing, analysis, planning and ability to realization, is very important;
since it supplies to interact the diferent disciplines’ knowledge and ability.
Especially, the interdisciplinary interaction and education approaches in
Design-Architecture Faculties that are in close relation with social sciences,
have the potential to improve the perspective towards so many diferent
situations and habits with the highest eiciency. Therefore, the interaction of
such curriculums, which diferentiates by specialized knowledge although
they base the similar subjects, and to make their relation permanent in
education is an important education approach.
9
With this point of view, Intensive Programme Projects (IP Projects), which
are planned between 2007-2013 by Centre for European Union Education
and Youth Programmes, is an important structure for both encouraging
the international studies and focusing on improving the curriculums by
means of considering feedbacks, arrangements and the current gaps in
educational systems.
In this context, in order to improve the interaction of Architecture and
Urban Planning disciplines in educational systems and to ill the gaps; a
two year Intensive Programme Project (IP Project); ‘A Comparative Study
of the contribution to urban life of in-between places ‘Passing, Passage,
Arcades’ as semi-public spaces’’ carried out with the coordination of Faculty
of Architecture, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University (MSFAU). The irst step
was the IP Project numbered; ‘2012-1-TR1-ERA10-36834’, which was carried
out as an international workshop; “by_pass_ing karaköy” in İstanbul-Turkey
between 25 February-8 March 2013 and MSFAU1. The second step was the
IP Project numbered; ‘2013-1-TR1-ERA10-48724’, which was carried out as

an international workshop; “UP & DOWN, The Hill of the Croix Rousse” in
Lyon-France between 30 March-12 April 2014 and hosted by Ecole National
Supérieure d’Architecture de Lyon (ENSAL)2. The third partner of the project
is Politecnico di Torino-II Facoltà di Architettura from Turin, Italy.
The project team members are; Güzin Konuk (the coordinator and the
Dean of Faculty of Architecture in MSFAU), Gülşen Özaydın (Department
of City and Urban Planning, MSFAU), Figen Kafescioğlu (Department
of Architecture, MSFAU), İnci Olgun (Department of City and Urban
Planning), Sinem Özgür (Department of Architecture, MSFAU), Derya
Altıner (Department of City and Urban Planning, MSFAU), François Tran
(Department of Architecture, ENSAL), Özlem Lamontre-Berk (Department
of Architecture, ENSAL), Marcella Graione (Department of Architecture,
PdT), Carlo Ravagnati (Department of Architecture, PdT). There were 29
students participated, from the three institutions in “by_pass_ing karaköy”
workshop while there were 53 students in “Up&Down, The Hill of the
Croix Rousse-Lyon” workshop. One of the most signiicant educational
attainments in these studies was the awareness of the togetherness and
collaboration in public space of Architecture and Urban Planning as the
close related disciplines, which considers two diferent study scales in city.
The common scale of the two disciplines and approach to subject:
11
The project centres upon the scale diference as the point that makes the
trouble to interact the two disciplines and it focuses on semi-public spaces
as a unique generator of the urban life in public spaces. The subject is chosen
as “passing, passages and arcades” since they make vogue the boundaries
of the concepts; public and private and they enhance the interaction in city.
Within this context; collecting information about semi-public connection
places’ genesis formations in historic process, the formation of their
physical features in urban morphology, how these places are used in urban
life, is aimed in diferent cultures and geographies. Moreover, the study
aims collecting information about how they may be improved or used with
their traditional, local features and today’s expectations, and make such
suggestions by comparing them. In choosing the subject, the problem is
described as; Architecture usually focuses the spatiality that are not the
urban vacancies as urban spaces and Urban Planning usually studies the
higher scale of the city uses. “Passing, Passages and Arcades” provided
multi-level productions and discussions by involving the in-between
spaces notion, since they are the unique usages in diferent cultures by
enhancing the city with diferent lows and public or private usages.
00.INTRODUC TION
There was an opportunity for the partner institutions’curriculum, to consider
such dense socio-cultural formations of publicity notion. Understanding
all the dynamics generate the city and considering this structure not as
just a drawing but considering them as resolved structure through the
intentions and realities, made, especially the students question their
perspective towards design and planning. Also, with all the similarities and
dissimilarities, they could relate their own experiences of their life spaces
with the study area.
One of the unique features of the project is that; the notions, which require
interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation eforts; publicity, semi-public,
in-between space, are discussed in cultural heritage areas. Especially, the
most obvious acquisition and success of the workshop is that; architecture
and planning students’ awareness to the subject is enhanced and they
were able to see the design process in an integrated inter-scale situation
by reinforcing the relation of the concept and design skill. The study
not only makes the students, who are about to graduate and want to
specialize in the interface of architecture-city, be able to experience and
gather knowledge; but also it makes the instructors, who are specialized
in diferent geographies on the similar subjects, share their perspectives
deeply.
Contribution to curriculum and workshop process approach:
The education models, which leans traditional point of views, each studio
marginalizes the other; so that, the prioritizing of the design or plan scale
and decision reasons can be the constant rule of the instructor’s point
of view. Today, this approach is about to be left in many institutions;
faculties make an efort to connect ideally the departments’ curriculums
12
by competences involves EU standards and real world practice educational
models. There is no doubt that students are the equivalent valued actors in
this efort, which aims a qualiied educational process.
Erasmus mobility that provides an important opportunity to question the
education form, content, contribution to the young profession candidates
who experienced the whole process apart from the process focuses only
the solution, as the most active participants of the IP Project, opens new
doors to knowledge’s changing share. The most important acquisition of
this project is that inter-cultural sharing.
13
Richard Foque3 emphasizes that a competent way to do a work can be
eicient by considering how knowledge transferred to the professional
practice and how corroborate by proper professional attitudes. He states
that, the educational model should supply all of these; knowledge, ability,
and attitudes by considering learning outputs towards them. Although this
statement focuses on the professional practice after the higher education;
it can also be a reference for Erasmus projects and similar projects.
The project, that puts the togetherness of diferent cultures, the analysis,
synthesis and analytical ability, knowledge and attitudes in design and
planning education, to a common discussion platform. This situation
constitutes a structure that strengthens the competence and enhances
the quality, which Foque emphasizes. Especially, the discussions made
in the study area provide knowledge and experience much more quickly
increased.
On the other hand, design process is considered as an activity which
is innovative/entrepreneur, heuristic and experimental; maintained by

empathy/fellowship, and which focuses on problem-solving process by its
very nature. Besides, usually, its boundaries are ambiguous, its solutions are
among the diferent disciplines and deined as a process that have to deal
with inter-subjected situations (Foque, 2009). This point of view, maintains
another signiicant point of the project. The 5 study groups’ diferentiating
point of views in analysis and synthesis considerations (groups are consisted
of combined with all Turkish, Italian and French students and tutors) is the
interdisciplinary approach’s acquisitions of the study.
It is observed that, during the workshop process, the students gather from
diferent disciplines, students’ professional attitudes could combine the
solutions and analysis of an urban structure’s dynamics’ background from
plurivocality. The discussion processes that make the student the owner
of the project, the tutor of the project and the jury member of the project,
enhances the awareness of the participants’ upon the process seriously.
The Workshops:
The project was planned as three steps with the dense research and
pedagogical collaboration of the participant institutions for ive years. The
irst two steps are accomplished.
14
In the irst step, 8 students and 2 academicians from Politecnico di Turin;
Italy, 8 students and 2 academicians from ENSAL; France, were hosted in
İstanbul; there were 14 students and 6 academicians from MSFAU; Turkey.
In the second step, there were 15 students from MSFAU, 8 students from

PdT and 28 students from ENSAL with 11 academicians again from such
diferent formations. The richness that participants carry provided the
performance increase of the study groups. Especially, the social activities
organised in order to recognise the city and the culture made eicient
feedbacks for enhancing the sharing.
The tutors of the student study groups participated with their lectures and
inal judgements during the workshop at both stages. There have been
study area tours following with analytical assignments’ presentation in
the irst week’s workshop program, and at the weekend there have been a
cultural city tours organised by host institution.
The workshops were completed by evaluating the inal products and
suggestions on the study areas, while the project was inalized by the
Final Report that includes project stages and explains the whole process.

16
It was submitted to Centre for European Union Education and Youth
Programmes, Turkish National Agency. Student evaluation questionnaires
in the Final Report have been important evaluation criteria in order to start
the next step. Problem identiication, research, data collection, quantitative
analysis and aesthetical dimension and design consciousness in verbal
and graphical usages of data processing techniques; moving as a team,
planning and program designing have been prepared quite suiciently
during the ifteen days workshop of the intensive program.
In the irst workshop “by_pass_ing karaköy”, which is the irst step of the
project, the focus is determined as considering the study area; Galata with
its environment and Karaköy’s public and semi-public lifestyles together
with passing notion and its transformation processes.
17
Galata and its environment’s permanent transformation and movement,
and its structure that encapsulates many types of public usage, have been
eicient selected criteria for the study area in the irst workshop. Such
features and potentials, for instance; being an important harbour in the
past, city’s important transfer point and commercial places in the city
features of the area, and opportunity for cultural and art activities today,
make the area important for the study subject. Moreover; because the area
includes harbour, transformation, trade, etc. functions there have been the
opportunity to discuss and study the notions such as; temporality, low,
and in-between in diverse dimensions. Another point that is eicient for
selecting the study area is that, the area is at the centre of several urban
transformation plans. From the past to today, area has always been in
transformation process so that it involves so many diverse public and
semi-public usages. The functions have been difering, private and public
concepts have been interpenetrating to each other; the area becomes a
00.INTRODUC TION
place owned by whole of the citizens.
In the second study “UP&DOWN, The Hill of the Croix Rousse”; it is aimed to
make analysis of semi-public areas’ role in Lyon’s urban life by comparisons
and to suggest such designs. The Lyon step of the study, made increase the
curiosity and dynamism on passage spaces as semi-public areas especially
that diferentiating typologies according to the diferent cultures, so that
the product energy was increased and the inal productions’ quality is
heightened.

One of the prior targets of the study, which is about passing’s, passages’ and
arcades’ spatial formations that are the most unique parts of such diferent
patterned cities, have been gathering the intense data and creating the
debate environment.

The “traboule”s4 in Lyon urban fabric supports the city by various aspects.
“traboule”s which are one of the most important routes of Lyon, were

included UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998. They are such semi-public
spaces; they are the private passing area of the building they belong to and
are open to visit in speciic days and times. The formation of the “trabolue”s
could supply so many data for the project’s semi-public concept with
their diferent and special physical structures, and unique usages. Besides,
considered as a unique transportation form that spread to the whole city5,
these speciic unites supply such diferent spatial and urban experience for
their visitors.
Herein, there has been the opportunity to experience the diferent usages
that diferentiates in such historical situations and such diferent structural

formations of passage notion. These passages that become prominent
by their unique structures within the scope of the project, supplied the
opportunity to the project participants to experience the buildings that
are used for such diferent functions and ind out such many in-between
places that have meanings beyond their physical existences.
The project’s planned next stage will research the arcades that are settled
in the main axes of Turin as an example of in-between places.The project’s
foundation is composed of the pre-works done with partner institutions
for three years. Intensive Program Project started at 2012 by the open call
of European Union Education and Youth Programmes, Turkish National
Agency and the application have been accepted at July 2012. After that,
intensive study commenced. The two activities’ preparation, workshop
processes and the post studies like preparation the reports, evaluation
meetings, preparation of the workshop products’ book, etc. includes;
multiplied education workshop, and studio modules. These modules,
supplied the partner institutions become integrated, enriching the
knowledge of multiple point of views and accelerated and enriched the
output process of the workshop.
In such studies and meetings there were many other institutions and

agencies invited and their opinions are taken. In Lyon, Lyon Consulate
General of Turkey Hilmi Ege Türemen supported the study. Also, “La Maison
des Canuts” supported guided city and “trabolue” tours and seminar. It was
important to see and experience the “traboule”s as the structures constitute
the identity of the urban fabric as the silk production and path through the
port.
In project management, MSFAU, as the coordinator institution, leaded
up to communication and cooperation between the partners, since the
process needed to work in detail and systematically. There was a budget
plan and executed exactly, in relation with the deined project activities.
Following the pre-studies’ evaluation, according to the time plans and
the place where the workshop took place, there were middle-inalization
reports. Additionally, especially the coordinator institution, all partners
made many works for enhancing the institutional relationship and the
service with many diverse sponsorships, beyond the total grant of the
project.
As process evaluation studies; there were meetings before the workshop
processes in order to make the preparations and detail the targets.
There were all the participant institutions in the meetings. There have

been discussions about how the process of the workshop will be; the
expectations from the analysis and suggestion stages; and evaluated the
every tutor’s various ideas about such stages. The work sharing of the tutors
and the group properties were decided and the coordination was created.
The web pages as blogs were prepared for students in order to meet and
reach much information about both the workshop process and the study
subject. Additionally, after the workshop process there have been meetings
for evaluating and feedbacks of the previous study for the next step of the
project with participating all the participants. After all these studies, the
book “by_pass_ing karaköy” have been published by the support of the
Rectorate of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University as the irst step’s publication.
Now we are appreciate for presenting here the second book of the project.
Evaluation and Conclusion:
The models of higher education institutions in education, is intensively
established a relationship on the supplier and the receiver. There is a very
22
short time to teach the profession during the education and there is much
to learn. Therefore, the process may become a one-way low with the
interference of the practical and theoretical knowledge transfer, usually.
The curriculum that are for the design education, sometimes this situation
may be changed and the education process may be much more interactive.
Nonetheless, today by the developing world, the knowledge in sharing,
the new rights or the idea that there is no one right, and the structure
that is multi-actor process not limited the relation between studenttutors makes the student learn by himself in the system and occurs such
diverse professional proiles. Architectural faculties live this transformation
much more fast because they have a education structure that faces with
profession education more that the other disciplines.
23
It is possible to set EU grant calls a privileged place when it is considered that
Erasmus programs give opportunity for both academicians and students,
and the cooperatives and partnerships for many various institutions and
agencies, as a right scheduled program opportunity.
The privileged expectation of the study group have been to produce
suggestions for the coexistence of the cultural diversities and with the
synergy of this supplying the continuousness, supporting not the inal
product but the whole process, supporting the acquisition and production
for a sustainable process, rise such personal colours of young profession
candidates among partnerships, feedbacks of academicians for education,
gathering faster of the diferent experience sharing, in open calls for grants.
It is an important opportunity to complete a EU Project since it increases
the familiarness of the institutions in international platforms, enhances the
experience, making individual professions, especially for the coordinator
institution. On an on-going basis of the projects, this profession becomes
a part of the corporate identity. In a time that knowledge becomes an
important fund, every new discovered right have become subjects that
raises the level of the education and learning, therefore there is no way out
from this situation.

COURSES AND PREVIOUS WORKS AbOUT THE SUbjECT
Intensive Programme (IP) Projects have the main aim to improve and ill the gaps of the current curriculum in high education.
PPA aims basically to ill the gap of the educational approaches of two main disciplines; architecture and urban planning, in
terms of urban/urban life. PPA aims to integrate the two disciplines’ scales and their point of view towards the city with the
scope of “public”. For this purpose there have been such works and such courses are being given.

aim, characteristics, objectives
Aim
Urban spaces are the scenes of urbanlife experiences of the citizens;
they are formed by the accumulation of diverse cultural layers. Besides
the public spaces like avenues, streets, public squares there are diferent
types like passages, dead-end streets and courts which can be called as inbetween spaces bearing more privacy. The aim is to understand the logic
of generation of the urban structure by analysing the historical layers and
the connections of this structure, to realize the spatial identities, and to
maintain sustainability.
Characteristics
The project aims to make research, gather data in order to compare the
diferent formations under diferent geographies and to make design
proposals for the semi-public spaces under the subtitles as
- the physical spatial evolution in the historical process in diferent
cultures and geographies,
- their spatial features in urban morphology,
- under what kind of physical and social inluences they are developed
- what kind of functions they have in urban life and
- how can these spaces with strong local or traditional features transform
according to the current expectations and needs.

Objectives
To develop the ability of multi-dimensional thinking and interdisciplinary
comprehension on semi-public spaces such as; passage, courtyards and
dead-ends;
- to provide awareness on the subjects as cultural heritage and
sustainability,
- to accentuate the holistic approach to spatial problems in the design
processes,
- to gain the ability of realizing the background factors of similar physical
spaces in diferent cultures and enable them to create the ability of
designing through this konwledge.
Methodology
The workshop has two steps; irst is the analysis phase and the second step
is the design phase for thinking and inding solutions on the deined
problems of the area.
Analysis
The analysis phase includes the observations, site studies and the
research on the documents about the area. Conferences are given to the
participants in order to provide knowledge about the area’s history and
current situation. The transformations and the contribution of the semipublic spaces to the urban life is analysed by examining the cartographic
and printed documents. Following this analysis phase, the problems/
potentials, will be deined about the subject.
38
The study area will be divided into ive zones. Each group of students will
work on diferent zones.
The analyses will make it possible to develop ideas, programs and scenarios
adapted to the urban pattern and the layout of the hill of the Croix-Rousse.
The analysis will be consisted of three major parts.
39
- Morphological Analysis will deine the characteristics of the habitat of
the slopes of Croix-Rousse (forms, topography, gabarit, pattern, etc.) by
putting in evidence the various systems and structures that constitute it.
- Use and Meaning Analysis will attempt to identify the practices of the
inhabitants and users in order to determine the traic lows (pedestrian,
car, bicycle…) and to locate the points of intensity (in terms of animation)
as public places or places which presents an architectural heritage interest.
- Landscape and Ambience Analysis will relate primarily to the urban
landscapes (viewpoints, environmental noise/sounds, visual ambience,
lighting ambience, etc….)
Having three major parts in the analysis phase will oblige each group to
divide into three subgroups. At this point it will be very important to keep
the connection and the communication between these subgroups and the
cross-connection between diferent groups who work on the same subtheme of the analysis.
Design proposals
In this phase, participants are supposed to ofer design solutions supporting
the urban life, providing sustainability to the urban pattern and obtain the
required transformations in the analysed public and semi-public spaces.

Study areas
Assignment
Location and the Limits of the Study Area
The study area ‘the hill of the Croix-Rousse’ is in the quarter of Croix-Rousse
which is divided into two halves, the pentes – the hill in the 1st district
(arrondissement) and the plateau in the 4th district (arrondissement). Croix
-Rousse which is situated at the north part of the peninsula ‘Presqu’île’
between the two rivers ‘Saône and Rhône’, is known as «the hill that works» as
it was home to the silk workers (canuts) until the19th century. This industry
has shaped the unique architecture of the area. The patrimonial aspect of
the Croix-Rousse has been acknowledged by authorities. Two decisions thus
have been taken, irst, in 1994, a part of the slopes has been listed as ‘Zone
de Protection du Patrimoine Architectural Urban et Paysager’ (ZPPAUP/
Urban and Landscape Area of Protection of the Architectural Heritage)
which has become nowadays ‘Aire de Mise en Valeur de l’Architecture et du
Patrimoine’ (AMVAP/ Architectural and Development Area). Moreover, in
1998, the Croix Rousse with the 5th arrondissement and the Peninsula, has
been listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
41
The limits of the area which is the subject to our study will be the limits of
ZPPAUP plan which is determined by Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse in the
north, Place des Terreaux in the south, Saône river on the west side and
Rhône river on the east side.
Questions of the workshop
The passages of the hill of the Croix- Rousse named as “traboules” are urban
forms which characterize the habitat of this district. Their history is related
mainly to the development of the weaving of silk at the 19th century. Today
this activity has disappeared and the use and the status of traboules have
changed. Therefore it is needed to evaluate the capacity of these passages
in order to adapt them to new uses and enable them to take part in the
necessary evolution of the district.
Up to what point future urban developments can take into account the network
of ‘traboules’ as signiicant urban structure? How to constitute the network
of the ‘traboules’ by organizing continuities or discontinuities of the trails/
parcours of which they are the support, while making them become visible?
02.IP 2014 CROIX-ROUSSE/LYON
It is needed to pay a special attention to the places which make it
possible to connect the traboules between themselves but also with
other urban systems by constituting them in nodes of the urban fabric.
The development of the project will relate to this questionof articulation of
urban morphological structures which will be based mainly on the network
of the traboules.
The projects will make it possible to renew the ‘architectural heritage’
point of view related to the traboules by constituting them not only like
an historical element of the memory of the district but like a profound
structure of transformation.

Little story of the Croix-Rousse
The Croix-Rousse is based on a plateau located at the height of 260m: the
plateau is composed of a upper layer by sediments lasting from the last
glaciation (150 000 years ago). The “Gros caillou” (the great stone) lasts
from that period. It has been found on the slope, while digging the “Ficelle”
of the Croix-Paquet.
Antiquity
48
The irst traces of occupation found on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse last
about 10 BC. Remains of tracks has been found at many places of the
district. The are the proof that the network of roads has existed. Yet, the
main road has been the biggest road of the Rhin river of Agrippa, which
from the Saône river pasted through the “rue Sergent Blandan”, and then,
the “Montée des Carmélites” and the “Rue des Chartreux”. All over the
antiquity period, the settlements has been developed mainly on the
lower side of the slopes, while the “ Bourg Saint-Vincent” and the “Montée
de la grande côte” have welcomed handcrafts activities (pottery kiln, glass
worker shop).
However, this inhabited district has been overshadowed by the existence
since 12 BC, of the “Sanctuary of the 3 Gauls”. On August 1st of that year,
Drusus, stepson of Augustus has decided to gather notables of 3 provinces
of the former “Gallia Comata” (conquered by Cesar) to celebrate altogether
49
Rome (the Roman state) and the emperor (Augustus). This ceremony
lasted then, until the 3rd century. The new sanctuary was located down
the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, roughly bordered by the “Rue Neyret”,
and the “Rue Imbert Colomes” on the North, the “Rue Pouteau” and the
“Rue Saint Polycarpe” on the East, the “Rue Sainte Catherine” on the South
and by the “Place Rey” and the “Montée des Carmélites” on the West. There
were at least 3 monuments inside this area, the irst, the oldest, an altar
surrounded by two columns surmounted by “Victoires” (coins minted in
Lyon have given us a representation of it). The second, the only one still
visible today an amphitheatre built around 19AC. And at last, the third, a
temple attested by the epigraphy. This sanctuary, called sanctuary of the
conluences, has become a symbol of the persecution of Christians from
Lyon in 177. There, in the amphitheatre, Blandina and 5 of her coreligionists
have been killed. In the 16th century, it is also there that the famous Lyon’s
Tablette has been found in the vineyard.
It re-transcribed a speech of the emperor Claudius (born in Lyon), delivered
in 48 in front of the Senate of Rome. The desertion of the sanctuary (which
became then a quarry for Lyon’s inhabitants), in the second half of the 3rd
century, has marked the beginning of a dark period of the Croix-Rousse.
To the French Revolution
During the major part of the middle age, the Croix-Rousse has been a rural
area, with cereals on the Plateau and vineyards and orchards on the slopes.
Yet, there was a administrative diference. The slopes were under authority
of the consulate (and therefore of the town of Lyon), and the plateau was
under the authority of the Seigneury of Cuire. Moreover since 1398, the
territory of the Croix-Rousse and of some other neighbouring villages was
02.IP 2014 CROIX-ROUSSE/LYON
property of the Franc-Lyonnais. The main privilege was to give inhabitants
some advantages such as the exemption from tallage and from taxes
regarding all the merchandises. That’s the way foodstufs were cheaper at
the gates of Lyon. This caused for centuries, proliferation of wine and other
products shops along the “Grande rue”, main communication route with
the North of the region, until the suppression of the Franc-Lyonnais, in
1790.
In 1512, Louis XII decided the building of a 2km fortiication at the top of
the slopes, from the fort Saint Jean on the Saone river, to the bastion Saint
Laurent, and at the gate of Saint-Clair on the Rhone bastion Saint Laurent,
and at the gate of Saint-Clair on the Rhone river.
There was an opening on the plateau, in the following of the “Grande Côte”,
through the door Saint Sebastian. This rampart, clearly drawn on the “plan
scénographique de Lyon” (scenography map of Lyon around (1555), was a
physical separation between the slopes (now part of Lyon) and the plateau.
On the plateau, a red colored cross made with golden stones from the
Monts d’Or, and surrounded by houses, at the tip of the Grande rue. The
district had been called “The Croix-Rousse” because of the colour of this
cross.
Slowly, lands bordering the main road “Grande côte/Grande rue” have
been divided in plots. Many religious communities have settled then on
the slopes, with the oldest, in 1304, the monastery of the “Déserte”. Then
followed the Carthusian in 1584, the Clarisses (Sainte Marie des chaines),
the Benedictines, the Bernadine, the “Colinette”, (the Villemanzy), the Ursulines, the Carmelites nuns, the Oratorians, the Capucins, and also the sister
of the annunciation of Mary. The congregation of the Feuillants, and the

reform Augustans. From 1584 to 1665, at least 13 religious communities
have settled there. In the middle of the 18th century, there were located
over almost all the sides of the slopes, on the North of the “Rue de la
Martinière” and the “Rue du Romarin”. Until the French revolution they have
stopped the urban expansion of the town towards the North.
During the French revolution and for some years, the Croix-Rousse and
Cuire have been gathered in a single town. During the siege of Lyon
(August 8th-October - 9th, 1793), inhabitants of the Croix-Rousse were
pro-Lyon, unlike the ones of Cuire. That’s the way on September 27th,
1793, Cuire has been linked to Caluire and the Croix-Rousse has been an
independent town for almost 60 years.
19th century until the annexation (1852)
The main consequence of the French revolution has been the sale religious
ownerships “Biens Nationaux”.
The irst, in Chartreux occurred in 1791, the last, in 1796. The churches
Saint Bruno, Saint Polycarpe and Saint Denis, irst coniscated were given
back to worship. The “Clos de la Déserte” was given back to the town in
1808. With the “Jardin des plantes” created in 1796, the “Place Sathonay”
has been drawn at the place of the cloister.
On these liberated grounds, new streets were created, everyone praising
the hill for his salubrity and pure air. Many building have been built,
without always respecting the urbanism laws. The population on the
plateau increased from 3,900 in 1811 to 29,000 in 1847 mainly on the
East part. The West part remained mainly rural and was composed of lands,
52
meadows, woods, vineyards (very few), and most of all of markets gardens.
This changings has been mainly due to the arrival of silk workers in the
Croix-Rousse the “Canuts” (it seems that this name appeared in 1805).
During the irst year of the restauration period, the work of silk which
used to be done in run-down workshops in the district of Saint-Georges,
and of the Peninsula, move to the Croix Rousse, were free lands permitted
the building of buildings which loors could welcome the 4m high the new
Jacquards looms.
Canut’s rebellions
53
The silk industry faced hard time during the French revolution period. In
1801, the silk production was 35% lower than the one in 1789, and the one
of the soft furnishings was 80% lower. Thanks to Napoleon 1st, the oicial
orders of the state, mainly for the furniture of imperial palaces (in 1811, the
one for Versailles amounted 2 millions Francs) helped the rebirth of the silk
industry Lyon.
The evolution in favour of plane fabric considerably changed the geography
of looms.
At the same time a double changing occurred in the century, regarding
supplying and outlets. Because of the development of the silk worms
disease, the “prebine”, around 1850, in France and Italy, Lyon had to
redirect deinitively its purchases of silk towards China. Moreover the
European market, much more diicult to reach because of trade barriers
and the competition of new producers, has been joined by the AngloSaxon market. At least the development of mechanical looms produce
02.IP 2014 CROIX-ROUSSE/LYON
new activities, in particular, the dyeing due to chemistry of the irm Gillet.
Two big conlicts have marked the 19th century, the irst in 1831, about
tarifs. The price set during the empire period, was not applied and used
to regularly decrease. In October 1831, the foremen gave the prefect
a claim for a revision. On October 25th under the pressure of Canuts’
riot, representatives of the manufacturers and of the workers gave their
agreement to a “minimum tarif of the prices of silk material cut”.
The main part of the manufacturers then refused to applied the tarif
agreed by their delegates and decided to lock out factories to face the
threats of strikes actions. On November 21th, violence broke out, workers
gained control of the Croix Rousse, driving back the assault of the troops
of the General Roguet. At that moment, some republican agitators and
some legitimists joined themselves to workers. A black lag was waved and
someone shouted “give us some bread and some work!” which became
later the famous slogan “to live working or to die ighting”. On November
22th, demonstrators gained control of the peninsula and public buildings.
On November 29th, the prefectgot all his powers back and on December
2nd the army entered in town. In 1832 there were hundreds of arrests, but
the courts of Riom released the main leaders. The new prefect Gasparin,
declared the tarif illegal. In compensation, he took several measures such
as the market price list to rule the relationships between wholesalers and
weavers, and a reform of industrial tribunal. Yet, these measures haven’t
been enough to solve the social problem of the fabric.
In July 1833, a irst strike paralysed a thousand looms, and then a new
threat of tarifs caused a general strike of the master weavers in February
1834. This latest failed and was repressed with the arrest of many leaders.

On April 9th, during their trial, an uprising occurred in town and lasted for
6 days. Fights were located in the Croix Rousse and the Vieux Lyon, and
in the South centre of the peninsula. Six thousand insurgents took part
more or less closely to the ights, they were mainly journeymen. On April
15th the rebellion was put down. There has been over 300 dead and many
wounded. There have been 500 arrests. In April 1835, 52 people from Lyon
among other republicans arrested have been judged in Paris.
The revolution of “Voraces” and the incorporation to Lyon
On February 18th, 1848 with the declaration of the republic in Paris, the
popular districts in Lyon have risen up, with in particular the most radical
group, the Voraces. The group seized canons and took the control on the
town until June. On March 30th, an expedition has even been organized,
to liberate Chambery from the Piedmontese oppression. On June 15th
1849, the army stopped the rebellion by demolishing the barricades and
bombing the houses of the “Grande Rue” and “Rue du Mail”. There were 56
dead on both sides. Leaders were sentenced to jail or to deportation.
This uprising speeded up to the incorporation of the Croix-Rousse to Lyon.
The central power didn’t want to see any more suburbs as centers of protest
causing uprisings. Moreover the Plateau had tax advantages contrary to
the town of Lyon. In consequence, on March 24th 1852, the free suburbs
Vaise, la Guillotière and of course the Croix Rousse were incorporated to
Lyon and became by that way the 4th of the ive districts of the town.
The 4th district
The irst consequence to the incorporation has been the demolition of

the rampart, which was, from now on, located inside the town. It has been
downat the initiative to the second empire, in 1865-1867’s. At the place
of the rampart, the “Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse” was created. Roads had
also to be built. The “Cours Général Giraud” became the junction between
the bottom of the slopes and the new “Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse”. Most
of all, there has been the construction of the irst funicular of the world in
Lyon, the famous “icelle”, unveil in 1862. It linked “Rue Terme” to the “Place
de la Croix-Rousse”. The success of the funicular was so important (3 million
passenger in 1880), that an other line had to be built from the “Place Croix
paquet”.
New equipment has been set: the hospital was unveiled in 1861, a new
town hall was built between 1867 and 1869, water supply was provided by
the “Compagnie Générale des eaux” and gas supply by “Compagnie du gaz
de Perrache”.
Churches were also built between 1828 and 1883, Saint Denis, Saint Eucher
and Saint Bernard, le bon Pasteur, and later on Saint Augustin (1910) have
been addd to the oldest churches, Saint Bruno and Saint Polycarpe. The
construction of Saint Bernard has not been inished and today the church
is no longer in activity.
The defeat of 1870 and the fall of the second empire, has consequences on
the town of Lyon. On December 20th, 1870 the background of social and
political tension, the Canuts shot the commandant Arnaud, commandant
of the “national guard”. On April 30th, 1871 the workers of the CroixRousse and Guillotière rose up in sympathy with the “Commune” of Paris.
The repression quickly stopped the uprising. The new republic established
compulsory state primary education. At the same time, the train teachers,

the Rhone department decided to inance the building of two teachers
training colleges, for men on the “Place Anselme”, (unveiled in 1883), for
women, on the Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse ‘unveiled’ in 1888).
Up to the present day
From the end of the 19th century to the irst half of the 20th, there have
been big changes in the silk industry from Lyon. The Croix Rousse has
mainly sufered from them. First, mechanical looms replace manual looms
because they needed fewer workforces. Then, big factories were settled
outside Lyon. In 2005 they were left in Lyon, only 8 silk factories, two of
them using manual looms, necessary for the making of some fabrics.
At last, the diversiication of raw materials: as soon as in the irst half of
the 20th century, manmade threads were invented such as bonded iber,
nylon, then also some synthetic threads, polyester, acrylic, chloroiber and
at last glass ibers, carbon and Kevlar. All the more, since silk industry has
faced many economic crises. In 1877 half of the looms are out of work,
in particular between 1929 and 1930. The loss of income regarding silk
industry in Lyon was about 75%, and the number of employment decreased
from 16,800 to 6,450! In 1954, there were only left few hundreds of looms
on the plateau, for former workshops became housings for lower classes.
In counterpart, other activities were developed such as the settlement
of the Gillet irm in 1853 on the “Quais de Saone”, specialized in dyeing.
Gillet has also built a big house, in the middle of as park (chazière), called
the“Villa Gillet”. The hosue was sold to the town of Lyon in the 1970’s. At last
we should not forget the building of a new weaving school, built by Tony
Garnier, on the former lands of the Carthusian monks. The school open its
doors in 1934, training every year more than 250 students. Today is called
60
the Lycée technique Diderot.
In the 20th century a lot of housing estates have been achieved, irst private
hosues on the “Rue Anselme” and at the east of the “Rue Chazière”, then
big houses projects such as the “Habitation Bon Marché” (H.B.M/low cost
housing), with as the “Cité jardin de Phillipe de Lassalle” in 1921, and the
“Clos Jouve” in 1928. Schools complete these equipments, as the primary
school “Jean de la Fontaine”.
61
The decrease of the economic activity in the Croix-Rousse goes with a
recession of the demography: the population of the fourth district has
decreased from 46,000 to 36,000 inhabitants from 1931 to 1954, then again
until 1982, with the lowest point reached (30,677 inhabitants), before
increasing and being stabilized around 35,000 inhabitants. Nevertheless,
the Croix-Rousse has sustained its eforts regarding education. In 1960,
the “Ecole des Beaux Arts” was implemented on the “Rue Neyret” above the
amphitheatre (categorically identiied thanks to the dedicative inscriptions
las- ting from 19 AC).
Facilities were made regarding communications: creation of the “Boulevard
des Canuts” in 1984, reitting of the “Grande rue de la Croix-Rousse” in
1992. The “Montée des Esses “ and the “Montée de la boucle” have been
modernized. The funicular of the “Rue Terme”, closed in 1967, has been
replaced by a slopping driving way. The one on the “Croix Paquet” has been
linked to the “Terreaux”, and has become the new C line of the subway. It
has been linked to the A line in 1978. At last the construction of the tunnel
under the Croix-Rousse in 1952 gained an extraordinary improvement to
the echanges between the Eastern and Western districts of the town. A
second tunnel dedicated to public transports and green transports has

The last decades
The patrimonial aspect of the Croix-Rousse has been acknowledged by
authorities. Two decision have thus been taken, irst, in1994 a part of the
slopes has been listed as “Zone de Protection du Patrimoine Architecture
Urbain et Paysager” (ZPPAUP/ Urban and Landscaped Area of Protection
of the Architectural Heritage) which has become nowadays “Aire de Mise
en Valeur de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine” (AVAP/ Architectural and
Heritage Devlopment Area). Moreover in 1998, the Croix-Rousse, with the
5th district and the peninsula has been listed as a UNESCO world heritage
site.
66
The Croix-Rousse has always kept a peculiar identity: you are from the CroixRousse before being from Lyon. The (supposed) spirit of Canuts is reminded
in institutions such as the “République des Canuts” founded in 1986, the
“Vogue des marrons”, the September’s big sell-of, the daily market of the
boulevard. It is possible to visit the “Traboules” which originality equals the
one of the “Vieux Lyon” despite of a diferent function. It is also possible
to admire the famous “Mur des Canuts”, made by CitéCréation, and to
discover the functioning of looms from the “Maison des Canuts” or the
“Soierie vivante”.
To develop the inheritance of silk and to counterpart the touristic fashion of
“Fourvière” and “Vieux Lyon”, since 2011 the town of Lyon has decided every
year to dedicate the second half of November to the “Festival LabelSoie”.
It gathers existing events such as the “Novembre des canuts” or the Silk
market with new events, Symposiums, exhibitions, fashion shows, visits,
using the collections of museums: Gadagne, Museum of Fabrics and Town
Archives.
Because we should not forget that in the mind of the inhabitants of Lyon,
silk is still linked with the Croix-Rousse. That’s why the town has decided to
develop one of the treasure of its heritage: the so belove.

dwelling on transition
This study aims to examine the dwelling action/concept on transition
areas in diferent scales of the man-made environment by focusing on
the phenomenological dimensions of dwelling which promotes to raise
questions about the experientiality of the spaces excluding accurate,
frozen deinitions. Transition, derived from the Latin preix Trans-, means
the process of change from one state, form, style or place to another. In
this study, transitional space deines the in-between spaces where inside
and outside are relativized or where a continuous movement in diverse
directions takes place like plazas, urban squares as well as the places where a
connection has been settled between the two diferent sides of landscape/
urbanscape by transition movement like bridges, passages etc. Urban
landscape has many kinds of transition areas where the limits of inside and
outside are dissolved or temporary appropriations are realized which fulill
the phenomenological meaning of dwelling. These spaces which have
been turned into places eliciting diverse dwelling experiences on them
enable ephemeral inside/outside settings, and physical arrangements by
letting the users to feel like dwellers.
Spatiality/being/Dwelling
Although the lexical meaning of the term dwelling refers to a physical,
concrete structure for shelter, it means something more from the view
of phenomenological thought. The term has been deeply analyzed in
philosophy and human sciences. The human behavior and environmental
studies have also dealt with the concept of dwelling while studying on the
72
interaction between the physical world and man on earth.
Being one of the watchwords of phenomenology, besides return-tothings, intentionality, and afectivity, spatiality is one of the primal aspects
of human experience on the world. “The spatiality of the life world is a
correlate of one’s corporeality, and it is the subject’s spatiality that makes it
possible to understand an inhabited space rather than its representation:
the subject-as-dweller by her or his very need to exist, “spatializes”, that
is, inds shelter, arranges places for the sphere of her or his possessions,
makes room for the diferent institutions of her or his life-in-society and so
forth1.”
73
In his paper “Building Dwelling Thinking”2 Heidegger primarily deals with
the etymology of the term “dwelling” and he goes to the roots of the word
dwell to display the mutuality of the terms dwell and build. In Heidegger’s
thought, language contains the whole of reality. This means that everything
known is known through language.
The old English and high German word for building is buan which means
to dwell and buan is the root of the verb bin in German
(bauen buan beo bin) and to be in English.
ich bin=I am=I dwell or du bist=you are= you dwell
According to Heidegger, this equation explains that dwelling is equal to the
existence of men on earth; “to be a human being means to be on earth as a
mortal and it means to dwell. To dwell, to be set at peace, means to remain
at peace within the free sphere that safeguards each thing in its nature.
The fundamental character of dwelling is this sparing and preserving. It

pervades dwelling in its whole range. Man’s relation to locations, and
through locations to spaces, inheres in his dwelling. The relationship
between man and space is none other than dwelling, strictly thought and
spoken.” 3
We can understand from Heidegger’s in-depth analyzing of language that
the forgotten (oblivion) meaning of dwelling as being on earth covers
the activities of mankind of making place for staying in peace in a safe
point on earth and inding space for realizing the main physiological and
psychological needs.

The thoughts of Christian Norberg Schulz on dwelling support this
explanation of dwelling;
“Man dwells when he can orientate himself within and identiies himself
with an environment, or in short, when he experiences the environment
as meaningful. Dwelling therefore implies something more than shelter.
It implies that spaces where life occurs are places, in the true sense of the
world. A place is a space which has a distinct character. Spaces receive their
being from location and not from space.” 4
This existential thinking about space leads us to explain space as the
interpretation of life by taking possession of the environment. And it is
found in the thought of C. Norberg-Schulz again; “to create a new space
means to implement existential patterns in a given environment.” (Image 1).
The word implement here is similar to dwell, meaning the settling of people
in marked areas with many diferent types of concrete, physical forms
deining the existence of himself both to himself and to other people.

This deinition of dwelling by C. Norberg-Schulz means something more
than having a roof over our head and a certain number of square meters at
our disposal.5 He deines four modes of dwelling; natural dwelling (Image
2) is the settlement in relation to its natural environment, the collective
dwelling (Image 3) meaning the basic forms of human togetherness in the
urban space, implying the dwelling of men in the sense of experiencing
the richness of the world in urban space, public dwelling (Image 4) recalls
the dwelling in the public or institutional building to denote what is shared

by the community, and private dwelling (Image 5) is the fourth mode of
being on earth to deine one’s own identity mostly denoting the house or
home. These four constitute a total environment.
C. Norberg-Schulz addresses at the common denominator of these four
modes which satisfy the need for dwelling in the existential sense of the
word. When dwelling is accomplished, it fulills the need for belonging
and participation which is also one of the focal points of behavior and
environment studies.

Serfaty deines the fundamental characteristics of dwelling in her paper6
in which she reveals the relations of environment/behavior studies with
the phenomenological approach to spatiality and dwelling; setting up an
inside/outside, visibility, appropriation where the second raised from the
irst and the last have raised from the second.

This inside/outside opposition has been much scrutinized in the research for
space/place studies in phenomenological thought. Schulz‘s words; “Only
when man has taken possession of space, deining what is inside and what
remains outside we may say that he dwells”7 denote to the opposition of
76
inside/outside as the irst determinant of dwelling on earth also revealing
the diferentiation of space and place (Image 6). An inside is a place which is
shifted from space or outside by creating boundaries in various forms and
types and by the appropriations the owner or inhabitant realizes according
to his or her needs, culture or opportunities in this limited part of space.

77
An inside is described by Serfaty as; a place which makes room for being for
dwelling through the events that constitute the gestures and the human
relationships that develop in it8. According to this explanation an inside is
a place where there is a meaningful social position enabling a meaningful
action, visibility to the individual and a sense of place free of deinite
description of its physical limits (Image 7). Each type of inside can be deined
by the occurrence of an outside at the same time, inside and outside are
established together.

qualiications can be named as dwelling. A dwelling doesn’t have to
have static, permanent or inalterable limits or qualiications to be called
dwelling. Ephemeral, unstable appropriations letting people pass time,
come together, socialize can provide visibility which Serfaty names as one
of the phenomenological dimensions of dwelling deining as the gaze
directed at oneself, the gaze of others upon oneself9 (Image 8).

78
The boundaries which constitute the limits or qualiications of visibility also
enable to create sort of hierarchy from publicity to privacy. The determinant
of the hierarchy in a place is relative to the degree of accessibility by the
dwellers/inhabiters of the area (a house or school or an oice building, etc.)
and the respective responsibility of supervision it gives to them.
An open area in the urban space or the units of a house may be conceived
either as a more or less private or public relative to the diferences of usage,
the number of the dwellers and time. The bedroom in a house is private
because it is inhabited by one person who has the responsibility to take
care of it compared to the living room shared by all the people living in
the house, or a classroom is more private compared to the communal hall,
but the hall which is used by the students of a school is more private than
the street because the street is for community. The living room of a house
is less private when there are guests in the house as it is in an urban park
when it is full of people on a summer weekend compared to a winter time
ofering a quieter and calm space to the visitor (Image 9).

79
Considering the above concepts, it is possible to suppose that dwelling
can be performed; not only in the spaces with strict or preixed boundaries
but wherever these phenomenological dimensions can be realized, with
lexible elements of enclosure which constitute inside and outside and
with a better accessibility, by providing place for people to realize acts of
self-actualization where individuals or groups can realize appropriations
through articulations or modiications on the space.
Transition/In–between
Transitional spaces literally are the spaces where a transition movement
takes place. Transitional spaces are the in-between areas where the
opposition of inside/outside or public/private is blurred, the passage from
inside to outside or vice versa loses its sharpness. The distinct diference
of being inside or outside is loosened and the occupied space is also
changeable according to the time of the day on these so called liminal
spaces. Flexible and non ixed design equipments are the tools of this
variable surroundings.
03.LEC TURES
Spaces with diferent levels of accessibility like squares, streets, passages,
entrances etc. can be described as transitional spaces with transition
movements in diverse directions and with lexible physical boundaries
creating inside outside diferentiations (Image 10). Mobile elements (banks,
seperators etc.), ambulatory bufets, loor arrangements contribute to the
temporary dwelling by creating changing focal points. People who take
place around diferent performances also yield to temporary dwelling
(Image 11).

Another type of transitional area is the spaces where the direction of
transition movement states the physical form. The bridges with habitations
or trading areas can be named as one of the examples of that type of
dwelling. The bridge is shown as the symbol of unity by Heidegger and it
is the line where two separated natural edges (banks of a river) united by
men. The bridge itself is an element of transition between two lands; the
bridges with habitable areas create grades of accessibility. It is possible
to ind bridges uniting two banks also giving the opportunity to dwell
in many cultures through the history which are shaped according to the
conditions of their construction time (Image 12).

Whether it is described as the liminal intervals between private interiors
and public exteriors or the diferent parts of urbanspace (streets, squares,
passages, bridges) with continuous movement traces, transitional spaces
can bear overlapping areas of passing (luent) or gathering, standing
(stagnant) sub areas letting people temporarily dwell and create a sense
of place.
The dwelling on transitional space creates the opportunity of encounter
and reconciliation between the street and private domain or between
the sub areas of urbanspace with blurred limits creating diferent levels of
spatial accessibility. Thus the transitional space gives a chance to dwell on
the overlapping areas on thresholds (on blurred limits of the buildings) or
on the city scape to create in-between spaces.

physical space and the second space the imagined, perceived space. These
“third spaces” where the everyday practice of post-industrial city occurs.
These spaces are the in-between spaces where the experience of life takes
place having the features of both inside and outside, both public and
private. They are the spaces of spatial and temporal transition of change
and interpretation, letting men to root on urban space.

Instead of conceiving of relations between ixed identities, between entities
or things that are only externally bound, the in-between is the only space
of movement, of development or becoming. The space of the in-between
is the locus for social, cultural, and natural transformations: it is not simply
a convenient space for movements and realignments but in fact it is the
only place-the place around identities, between identities-where becoming,
openness to futurity outstrips the conversational impetus to retain cohesion
and unity.11
This representation of Elisabeth Grosz subtends to the liminal space
where the groups of people temporarily dwell on the transition areas in
architectural space.
These so called transitional spaces are the spaces where the transitions that
relect the city as a social ideal. This character of in-between lets the urban
space to be conceived as a lived experience by the ones who experience
enabling them to create the properties that shape, govern and sustain it.

imagination and knowledge in architectural and urban design
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while
imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will
be to know and understand”. (A. Einstein)
A project, in order to be thought, proposed and discussed inside the
architectural culture, must cover three functions:
- a polemic function towards other projects about the same topic or site
that fall in error;
- an inventiveness function that ills an emptiness due to the oversight of
something that is crucial to that theme or that place;
- a creative function to introduce a new concept or a new idea of city.
I think that these three functions are included into a scientiic vision of the
architectural and urban planning.
My research starts on the hypothesis that the architectural and urban design
is an acknowledgement activity for both the place and the discipline. In
general terms thus, my job is to develop within a “rationalist engagement”,
therefore a culture that has never ceased of aspiring to architecture and to
“architecture of the city and the territory” based on logical relections.
Compare ourselves with a logical system means to check and modify the
same system continuously, free from the problem to start again every time.
This kind of theoretical construction has changed the static or deterministic
84
relationship between theory and practise that had characterized the
modernity. In fact, in this theoretical idea take place peculiar procedures
able to act on the same theory just transforming it from a speculative
moment, in which it’s possible ix things already given, to productive
moment, in which the same things take new meanings.
Radicalizing, we could say that there is only the thought produced by
processes at the same way there is no other object of study more than the
construction techniques of the same thought.
For this reason, I have always been interested in the technical and practical
aspects of the art work, in order to try to understand which thought is
hidden behind the techniques and is transmitted through them.
85
For this reason, I have always been captivated from Michelangelo’s Pietà
Rondanini, because it shows technical process and its result at the same
time.
For this reason, I have always preferred reading books as Sculpture. Processes
and Principles by Rudolph Wittkower, which explains plastic invention
through a path of marble techniques processing, rather than systematic
and closed theories.
It is the same reason that drives me towards those artists that dedicate
themselves not only to the ideation of the artwork but also to the invention
of an original technique: Cézanne above all, but also Pollock, Brancusi,
Picasso and Fontana.
In architecture this problem is strongly transmitted in some theoretical
03.LEC TURES
objects. I call “theoretical objects” those projects or constructions, inside
and outside time, which put in relationship design process and its
theoretical content: I think, for example, about the Colonna Traiana, the
Plan Obus for Algeri by Le Corbusier, the Houses at Checkpoint Charlie by
Peter Eisenman or the Wall House by John Hejduck, the Palazzo Massimo
alle Colonne by Baldassarre Peruzzi, a project of sixteenth century, a
building extraordinarily modern. For this reason, all my previous studies
have had conventional subjects: the studies of the ancient Rome and the
projects for the basilica of San Pietro at Vaticano in the Renaissance Age;
the techniques of the urban morphological analysis and the production of
urban artefacts theories of and architectural and urban design theories; but
the true aim was to understand the thought production mechanisms’ that,
in architecture, concern balance between imagination and knowledge.
86
This is a crucial point in formation of a “logic of project”. So I would like to
talk about the intricate, contradictory and indissoluble role of imagination,
which is an important element of design activities, in the production of
knowledge.
I will try to detect technical and teachable aspects of imagination for
underlining its importance and necessity in knowledge growing.
1. What is Knowledge activity in architectural design
I realize that every distinction between idea and knowledge in architectural
design is always forced: architectural design is, in fact, a techné, an
indissoluble heap of art and technique. However, for the purposes of these
considerations, I will start to analyze separately knowledge activities and
imagination activities, showing their mutual inluences.
In order to explain what I mean with “knowledge activities that develops
through project” I have to tighten the ield of studies. In every science and
in every age the knowledge needs, in fact, a single theme of application.
I would like to talk about relationship between geographical characters and
urban morphology. Geomorphology and urban morphology have always
represented two ields of studies joined together into the construction
of urban space. The contemporary crisis of the cities idea may ind in the
reconstruction this dialogue interrupted in modern age, precious tools for
a new cities idea.
87
Let’s take a city: Lyon, for example. Let’s have a look to its anchoring in the
soil and link it with one stories of the city. In order to do it, we can found
our speech on military maps preserved in Bibliothèque National de France
of Paris.
Why military maps? Maps and studies about cities and territories made
by military corps are interesting because, irst of all, they describe a
construction system to the ground. The art of controlling geographical
space through military architecture, as well as for diferent aspects through
hydraulic engineering, represents an important opportunity for retake, in
the urban studies context, a technical and theoretical look that has been
left behind architectural discipline, since two centuries. In addition to
consider military architecture as a defensive system, we could look at it
as a settlement principle. This settlement principle chooses, for strategic
necessity, to establish a mutual relationship with Earth’s shape and to bring
forward city’s expansion over its limits.
03.LEC TURES
The case study of Lyon shows some interesting elements. The fortiication
system, illustrated on a map of 1649 (Image 1), represents a kind of
didactic description of geographical characters. Around the original site of
Lugdunum, such as “the fortress of Lúg (the god) on dunum (hill)” placed on
Fourvières hill, the city walls develop to protect a site crossed by a river and
surrounded by high grounds.
In this portion of territory the Rhône serves as a defensive structure, on
the boundary of urban shape, instead the Saône, with its bridges and
public spaces, represents the city river along which city life takes place.
88
Image 1:
Plan de la ville de Lyon, 1649
The two rivers have two diferent roles, given by defensive system (Image
2).
A late project of expansion of city walls in 1856 adjudges to the Rhône the
same role. The riverbed is redirected and its loodplain transformed in a
domestic and public space (Image 3).
From siege maps in 1793, we could see the settlement logic preview of
future expansions both beyond the Rhône, in Part-Dieu and Brotteaux,
and beyond city walls in front of Croix Rousse hill. These military strategies
organize the territory positioning bridgehead, a typical military technique
of ground appropriation, on which future city will ind a previous
coniguration to start an urban expansion outside city walls (Image 4-5).
89

On Croix Rousse hill defensive and ofensive lines are placed crosswise the
medieval burg built along a territorial route. These lines are signs come
from Earth’s crust and that, regardless of their impermanence, will remain
as marks in urban morphology.
Indeed military architecture is just soil architecture; there isn’t the will of
shape, but just the need of it. Bastions, towers, wells, platforms, galleries
and trenches, relect the relationship between Architecture and Earth,
beyond each formalism. They show the Architecture of the Earth.

This way to link one story city, a military history, with a real fact, the anchoring
of city at the ground, produces a knowledge improvement of the city and
its architecture, which is also a project. It is also a project because this is an
operation that asks to look at objects in diferent ways. What is project if it’s
not the assignment of new meanings to already known objects? This way
to think project produces knowledge, moving it from a ield to another,
that comes from urban history to urban artefact theory. It produces a
theory or an idea of city that is an idea of Lyon, but also a general idea of
cities. Therefore, producing knowledge through project requires to “move”
the knowledge itself.
Dismissing knowledge from its conventional ield and write it in a diferent
context: brief, this is an operation comparable to surrealist artwork.
However, to real understand as this investigation is already a project, to real
look at the project, we need to associate the second term of our relection:
imagination.
Without imagination we cannot understand as we are already inside the
project: we are not simply putting in order some military maps of Lyon.
Pablo Picasso wrote, “There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow
spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence,
transform a yellow spot into sun”.
92
2. What is Imagination in architectural design
“Logic will get you from A to Z;
imagination will get you everywhere”.
(A. Einstein)
I realize that every distinction between idea and knowledge in architectural
design is always forced: architectural design is, in fact, a techné, an
indissoluble heap of art and technique. However, for the purposes of these
considerations, I will start to analyze separately knowledge activities and
imagination activities, showing their mutual inluences.
93
I aspire to a kind of architectural design, which aim is the knowledge of
architecture, city, territory and the design itself, thus an architectural design
that requires an imagination work.
On one side, knowledge sets terms of the analytic character in architectural
design; on the other side, imagination deines terms of poetic character.
Here, analytic and poetic are not seen how separate and alternative
moments, but as two moments of same process, which it is not possible
identify precession. Analytic and poetic are like a “double bind”, where one
needs the other and vice versa.
After have explained the role of knowledge in project, now it is necessary
to clarify what I mean for “imagination” within project practice, or rather
which are my references about imagination studies.
Jean Paul Sartre has deined imagination a peculiar activity of thought
that makes present an absent being. In the essay The imagination, he uses
03.LEC TURES
the example of a blank sheet laid on a table. Its shape, colour and position
are present for one who look. In the meantime, shape, colour and position
of the sheet exist in themselves, they don’t depend by conscience of “one
who look” (remembering that conscious is always “becoming conscious of”
another thing, another fact). This inertia, the being itself, safeguards things
and conserves its autonomy. But if the observer’s gaze turns away from the
table on which is placed the sheet, it is not present anymore to the eyes, yet
it still appears in its shape, colour and position. It still exists, it is still visible,
but changed its essence: it no longer exists as object, exists in image. So,
image and object are diferent beings. In order to make present an image,
Sartre wrote, we need to develop what has been deined as an emotion or
a feeling.
Now, we are at a crossroads: on one side there is a research on imagination
aimed to understand how represents an emotion, on the model of Gilles
Deleuze on Francis Bacon; on the other side, another research aimed to
explain how imagination may be essential for discovering the “vocation of
a thing, of a place or, even, of an utopia”.
Imagination, in this second meaning, becomes an essential tool to be able to
see the possible transformations of real world. It is a tool for thinking about a
compatibletransformationwiththereality,atransformationthatmayarisefrom
knowledge of reality. Of course, my interest is inclined to the second meaning.
But in order that this “vocation of a place” can be developed through a
project, should be recognized that any form of analytical knowledge is
never objective. It is always necessarily partial and subjective.
If it is true the assertion by Le Corbusier according to which “every
architectural project is an idea of world”, imagination is just the tool that
94
allows you to anticipate and guide this project, this dream with open eyes
and a clear mind.

95
As Gaston Bachelard wrote in L’Eau et les Rêves, “imagination opens to the
future. Its reckless nature helps us to distance ourselves from our immutable
certainties”. As every psychic fact, imagination has a shape and a structure.
Bachelard has distinguished two kinds of imagination, “an imagination that
produces formal cause and an imagination that gives life to material cause
or, briely, formal imagination and material imagination”.
Bachelard’s material imagination theory, closer to productive use of
imagination in architecture, subtract imagination to the sphere of irrational
evasion and allows to identify diferent types of imagination starting
from diferent material elements. Bachelard has explained this concept
for ire and water, but also for cities we can suppose an own imagination.
Imagination in architectural design just needs knowledge of the city. It is
said that any architect must know at least a city. About city, paraphrasing
Bachelard, we could speak about a material imagination grafted. “Graft” is
the keyword to understand the productivity of imagination in architectural
design.
03.LEC TURES
“It’s the graft that can truly give the exuberance of forms of material
imagination. It is the graft that can transmit richness and density to the
material imagination” wrote Bachelard.
If art is a graft on nature, city is a graft in the geography of a place. The
graft has a double meaning: on one side, it expresses the idea of an
originalcontamination between city and geography that refers to origin
of city; on the other side, it proposes a strategically interpretation which
provides to overthrow the metaphysical opposition that would like city
and nature as terms of a binary opposition.
The graft is always the hierarchically predetermined connection of one or
more secondary bodies on a main body.
96
From one point of view, thinking the graft of city in the geography of place
means thinking a series of grafts in absence of a main body. In fact, city is
always placed inside diferent geographical theaters that always require
recognizing diferent bodies. The diferent geographical theaters always
refer to diferent geographical scales that ofer a variety of bodies.
In my studies, imagination is involved in a work of graft on the nature forms
of architecture and its archetypes. Do not be fooled, however, from the
misunderstanding of the organic architecture. This not involve, in fact, the
study on natural forms as references for an architecture deformation and
its archetypes, instead; the problem is the research of the balance point
between architecture and Earth’s forms.
Picasso took a lifetime to learn to paint like a child. For me it’s to dedicate a
lifetime to learn to draw the Earth through architecture, as did Anaximander
with his map of Mediterranean Sea reduced to a huge agora.
Let’s go back to the city of Lyon. Introducing a igurative description
form, typical of architectural design, produces an intentional rêverie.
Intentionality it is the moment of fusion between knowledge activities
and inventive process; it is the moment that allows you to steal the rêverie
to “the leeting moment of an hour” and transfer it in collective memory
useful to construction of an architectural project.
In the irst work (Image 6), I have tried to explain, with two layers overlapped,
the igures that emerge from military structure of territory during the siege
of 1793 (Image 7).
97
The schema of ixed fortiications represented topographically and the
schema of temporary placements in the theater of war of Croix Rousse
hill are overlapped in diferent scales, in this work. On the right we
can see a repetition of defensive lines climbing from river to hill up to
linear settlement outside city walls. Beyond, we see instead buildings or
embankments positioned strategically on the heights. These points are
similar to infrastructure elements on which will build the city.
In this second work (Image 8), instead, I tried to show how the traboules
tracings that cut through Lyon’s urban blocks, may be precisely linked to
those paths, trenches and embankments products of military genius.
Traboules can be used to explain how the theme of military architecture,
in its origin closed to mining architecture, could have a domestic
dimension. They represent a kind of geological infrastructure that, after
been hiding into the city bowels, now it could be contain the rules its

transformation. So, this third work (Image 9) wishes to discover the earthly
and mining vocation of these unusual places, hidden in urban blocks;
a vocation shown in a special way in their layouts or in their sections.
In this sequence of small works, therefore, I sought the presence of
architectural shapes in logic urban construction in Lyon.
Their purpose is to transform the initial knowledge, based on historical
maps, in a theme of project. In order to this aim, we have to work about the
imagination, as I tried to explain earlier, an imagination linked to material
that consists the city.
99
In my experiences, precisely in the construction of these preparatory works,
happens the intersection of knowledge with imagination.

These objects contain and reproduce, in their turn, a series of unexpected
images. They are not real architectural projects of course, but they deine
the topic and prelude to possible projects (Image 10). After these works,
the project can only take one direction.
Within this imagined history in fact, the design of Traboules that we are
going to develop could indicate a way for thinking an idea of city.
100
Image 8:

The Traboules can be seen as structures created to solve functional problems
not opened anymore, we could say that they are “useless objects” or “ixed
objects at their last known action”. But also we can see them as monuments
to a logical construction of city, as infrastructural elements of an invented
urban geography that explains the relationship between city and Earth’s
crust, the same form that has oriented the constructive process of Lyon. So
the project becomes an explanation of city, becomes knowledge of city,
and suggests a plan and a world vision, through imagination.

“The man is only half himself, the other half is his expression.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (Essays, Second Series / The Poet /1844)
Public sphere has a wide variety of deinitions in many diferent academic
disciplines from Social Sciences to Architecture and Urban Planning.
These descriptions include social meetings, the reception of art works and
debates about them, liberty that social medium provides and of course any
kind of political discussions. Well then, what about “Public Space”?
Do public spaces work as democratic device’s spatial component that can
generate the debates by aiding and abetting the crowd of people that can
trigger the collective public movement, or do they supply a platform for
using the civil rights? Or, do all these happenings should be considered as
individual experiences? Where does the “Public Space” start?
Today, all over the world, it is acknowledged that, the strategies produced
in order to revive public space usage cannot only be comprehended with
a project-based approach that only leans on “aesthetics”. It is expected
that strategies should make spatial decisions - interwoven together with
activities-, meet on a common ground with cultural diversity through the
participation of multiple actors in order to create a shared wisdom. As the
term “public sphere” involves socialization and functionality; an abstract
understanding of public sphere is grounded solely by the deinition of a
measurable space (or a discursive communication in Habermasian terms),
but also by the aliveness and qualities it brings to urban life. Therefore, the
term “public space” needs to include an experiential level understanding
104
of the space, which means consideration of passing places as semi-public
places. These passing places can also be an important source of inspiration
for life with their usage and temporalities.
The social events, activities, rituals, and social familiarity with certain places
within the movement of daily life serves as the stage of the users’ common
culture but also inspires them through these countless interactions.
Seasonal changes and spatial patterns, colour codes, textures result in
urban reoccurring patterns. This makes “the place”, or the experiences
space, have its own social-spatial character and makes memorable.
105
In contemporary public space designs it is regarded that landscape
design, user proile, the architectural volumes and their functions within
these spaces changes the social interactions among people and the
main discussion among designers is based on how to reinforce the usage
public spaces. Since public spaces are always the spaces of social life it
is important to support their evolution with creative patterns. Public
spaces respond to the changes in society directly because discussions of
individual and collective agency are integral to the description of public
spaces. Thus, through creating thematic social meetings and through
countless encounters, they increase the passive/active interactions among
people with diferent backgrounds. Especially semi-public spaces can
be considered as the spaces, which assemble the experience of diverse
togetherness. They are the spaces, which create the neighbourhood; these
are the spaces where the ideas of social life are embodied. These places
protect the praxis of life by making it continuous and that’s why they
cannot be merely deined as “space” with its physical borders. The
publicness and usage of these spaces cannot be controlled especially in
larger geographic areas since there is a large body of users.
03.LEC TURES
In his book “The Fall of the Public Man”, Sennett (2010) mentions that public
space becomes a temporary space rather than places to be lived in, at the
same time it becomes a threat for “the other”. He argues that, in modern life
just watching quietly becomes the public life’s only custom and we, as the
people of the post-modern globalizing world, live in this viewer situation
which domesticates us into our own small private lives. From this point of
view, it can be said that, a single human being who is moving among the
buildings, which are compressed and inhumanly high, becomes lonely and
“the public man” falls.
On the other hand, the city economy, which takes place in its compressed
spatial forms in capital metropolitan cities, plans and therefore manipulates
the publicness the citizens can take part in by paying for it (e. g. shopping
malls, itness centres, global cafes, etc.). According to Bayat (2014), in
today’s neo-liberal cities, especially the open-air economies should be
expressing themselves with public visibility as a necessity and this is a new
perspective about publicness.
Nevertheless, a citizen wants to diferentiate herself, even within the
modern compressed time, she wants to live the publicness of the closed
settlements that are by deinition less “downtown”. However, the city
doesn’t give the time for leisure to create more intimate relationships.
The ones who don’t live in this compressed time –the ones who live in an
enclosed settlement in the city centre- are both limited and deined by
the settlement’s borders, and they create their own routines and public
lives. However, it is not enough for them just to encounter with the ones
who can aford these spaces; they cannot fulil the desire for energizing
what they need (Gehl, 1986), and therefore become unhappy. Since they
are not able to ind any space or medium, which they can move around like
106
a laneur in the city because of their chosen enclosures, they move around
without a purpose in Internet “like a laneur”. Zizek deines them as “cyber”
or “the social networks” (2001).
Designers through keeping the concept of laneur activity in mind should
increase the possibilities of random encounters. These random encounters
create the necessary openness in social life for it to evolve and be an active
member of it. Through this openness citizens create opportunities of
agency for themselves (Dereli, 2010).
107
“The city appears to you as a whole where no desire is lost
and of which you are a part, and since it enjoys everything
you do not enjoy, you can do nothing but inhabit this
desire and be content.” Italo Calvino
Invisible Cities / Cities and Desire 2 / 1974 / p:12
Because of their mix-use value, the public spaces such as the central
parks, or more generally open areas makes it easier to hybridize all the
diferent social classes and interwove diferent point of views. They create
collaborations; serve as the spaces to participate in civil rights, freedom
and imagination. These spaces work as a precondition of many citizens’
inancial income and their social/cultural re-productions of themselves as
individuals and collectives (Bayat, 1997a 1997; Bayat&Deniz, 2000).
These spaces, where versions of social-spatial praxis’ are formed and political
perspectives are presented, can become signiicant threshold spaces for poor
people’s lives’through exclusion. Despite this, open public spaces are the places
that by deinition refer to the non-pecuniary, the requisite, the participant,
the productive and the free interactions among people (Bayat, 2014).
03.LEC TURES
Today, (in our geography) we live in an era, where both the public sphere
and space are threatened existentially. Therefore the opportunities for the
society to discuss their common interests, their possibility to become a
public body and form a public opinion about “common good” is threatened
through the increase of social inequalities (Karaca&Kiper, 2011). With 2013
May Uprising the happenings in Gezi Park, had been a case of the public
to ask what belongs to them. It is a need stronger than ever for citizens to
break the neoliberal state monopolies over public spaces such as Gezi Park.
Yet, erosion of our public spaces, where the most important practices of
public kindness take place, breaks down the daily life’s entities of the city,
which by deinition need to be multi-cultured and multifaceted.

This appropriation of public space by citizens is very important because
it creates new forms of publicness with many diverse public forums and
results in many activities in Istanbul’s many neighbourhood parks. The
activities that take place in Kadıkoy’s parks are considerable even when
compared to the wholesome of Istanbul. The local characteristics of
Kadıkoy are the main actors that make the neighbourhood a lively place
with identity and deine the terms of belonging through semi-public space
usages. Moreover these signiicant local characteristics make Kadıkoy a
place. Anyway, “What is the city but the people?” 1

Kadıköy is Istanbul’s one of the most crowded and cosmopolite
neighbourhoods. Its ancient Byzantine name is Khalkedonia. It is located
on the Asian side of Bosporus. According to a legend, a soothsayer told
108
Byzas that he would establish his city facing the blind people’s city. When
he saw Kalkhedonia, he decides that this is the right place; because only
blind people can settle at Kalkhedonia rather establishing a city on the spot
he was standing on, at the entrance of the Golden Horn. Than spot became
the centre of Byzantium and later it was the Ottoman Empire (Belge, 2002).
In 18th century Kadıköy had four windmills that was meeting Istanbul’s
need. The neighbourhood was densely inhabited parallel to Haydarpaşa
Station’s and moles construction in 1908. Over time, Kadıköy received
many immigrants from the rural areas and has become one of the liveliest
districts. To this day Kadikoy protects Istanbul’s cosmopolite population
with its diverse worship places belonging to diferent religious groups.

The rhythms of all the spaces in the city, which forms the opinions and
motives of the society, are diferent than each other and each space creates
diverse constellations that have diferent temporalities. In the city of
Istanbul, being a part of Kadıköy occurs by enhancement of such diferent
interactions by living its spaces, by being a part of its spaces, by meetings
in these spaces, by being in touch with its countless active/passive
encounters. Kadıköy, which is a place for its inhabitants and for its guests
to live these all interactions, has the richness of experience that makes so

many diferent proiles come together and be in contact with each
other. In historical process, Kadıköy has established a connection to
whole Istanbul in terms of its low and speed within its open areas that
has signiicant importance in social life. At the same time, the human
landscape of Kadiköy is a part of its identity. Kadiköy continuously remakes
its connection to contemporary form and context within its human low.
111
Kadıköy becomes an important centre for the entire city life with its location
in Istanbul and through its strong public space potentials for the population.
Especially as a deiner of the neighbourhood’s settlement, Kurbağalıdere
Valley, as a natural threshold had been at the forefront with its green
identity. Although today it has lost most of its ecological features, because
of its open area characteristic, it is still one of the most popular urban
spaces. Kurbağalıdere area has strong connection to public transportation
because it is near to many transit transfer centres. Areas such as these that
are easily accessible have the capacity of generating many urban, spatial
and socially intense centres. Beside houses and business places, everyday
the dense commerce area enlarges. This intensiies the district’s traic load
that in return results in their loss of the quality and quantity of pedestrian
public interactions.
Kuşdili Meadow is one of the most valuable areas in the Kadiköy
neighbourhood that satisies Kadıköy citizens’ recreational needs since for
a long time. Once Kuşdili was one of the most important excursion spots,
now it is squeezed in between the dense urban texture of the buildings. It
has now become one of the spaces in the city that has to be protected at all
costs. This urban space, which was used as grove, meadow, excursion spot,
marketplace and at last a parking place respectively, has a history of being
the ancient Khalkhedon Port till 680s BC. Including the stadium settled

very near, the whole area is the home of the phrase: “I am from Kadıköy”.
When Kadıköy’s publicity’s intensiied spaces is classiied;
116
Kadıköy is a place where “being from Kadıköy” becomes a label that
people can feel entitled to quite easily even when one doesn’t live there
in an enclosure. The children of the district experience the publicness of
the neighbourhood through observing and being a part of this social
medium. The emotional and aesthetic expressions, which are produced in
the spaces that are beyond the borders of houses and therefore “private”,
has the potential of being deeply enrooted in politicals. This social mould
of the street is sometimes blended with commercial activities, but usually
the political actions rise from a diverse community’s efort to interact.
Pavements, playgrounds, public transportation, district bazaars and central
bazaar of Kadıköy are some of the nodes of the urban social network in the
neighbourhood.
2013 june...
After June 2013, like many places in Turkey, open public spaces in Kadıköy
became a part of the public forum networks of the people who took back
their occupied public life from the authorities. The organized activities
became a diferent form of creating debates and public opinions on social
issues.
Our public spaces, which are settled in a cognitive structure beyond
being a physical and distinguished phenomenon, began establishing the
spatial identities that demand to shift the neutralized power relations with
emphatic and hybridized ones.
117
Istanbul’s every district has a diferent image; Kadıköy’s image is the “bull”.
The bull statue is a focal point and a landmark that is referred in any address
description in the neighbourhood. It is also a politically relevant symbol
of Istanbul’s current love afair with publicness with Istanbullers’ newly reremembered and re-framed agency.
Social platforms with their power to expose and to make their followers
simultaneously a part of the experience became a part of this “movement
of publicness” and made it easier to mobilize. The oppositions and protests,
which started with Gezi Park and its surrounding urban areas strongly
kept their existence through the time of the protests. Diferent spatial
experiences were made possible by the help of new technologies and
but their accessibility varied by the levels of connections to them. E-mail,
postings of digital sound and videos, photos via mobile phones, tablet pcs,
computers in every social medium; high technological capital was used
during the oppositions. Therefore, the community experiences lived in
03.LEC TURES
the real space carried to cyber medium and there had been an important
interaction between online and oline worlds.
As a beginning, but not a result;
Public man did not fall in Kadıköy; since the characters and characteristics
of this particular place is quite diferent. Spatial experience difuses and
integrates to social interactions continuously. Kadıköy is a place that
generates simultaneous public life’s aliveness with the spatial fragments
that allows the individual to practice their own agency. Kadıköy is a cultural
118
Image 5:

(Made by Hazal Şerifoğlu)
environment that creates social acts/behaviours. There is no artiicial
manner of spatial “D”esign; the energy and rhythms of life belong to the
space itself.
The fall of the public man in Kadıköy, is out of the question. The most
important reason of this is that local characters continue their lives in
harmony with diversity. Identities and feelings of belonging in both public
and semi-public spaces are very strong in its streets, cafes, and passages
made into continuous bookstores, with its famous wedding hall, ice cream
shops… Everything in the neighbourhood contributes to the desire of
living in Kuşdili Meadow.

Urban ways ~ parcours urbain ?
The beginning of this lecture started with the uneasiness of translation of the
term ‘parcours urbain’ in French. Further in this text you will observe our efort
and wish in order to ind out the correct term to use concerning the content
of the word ‘parcours’ in an urban context. Finally the term ‘way’ seemed
to be more convenient when we advance in a displacement and an action
of ‘discovery’ and the term ‘itinerary’ when we are facing a ‘proposed and
organised path’. However, sometimes in the text the word ‘parcours’ will be reused without any translation with the worry of losing the real sense.
Whenever we are concerned with any kind of design based activity in an
urban environment we confront the indispensable signiication of ‘urban
ways’. When this urban environment is the ‘Croix-Rousse’ district the analysis
and the comprehension of the formation process of those ‘proposed ways’
becomes inevitable in order to understand the urban structure, history and
socio-characteristics of this district.
Currently there are ive urban itineraries organised on the hill of the CroixRousse.

All those ive itineraries are related to the architectural, economical, social
and political history of the district. Those itineraries are introduced mostly
to the tourists and random visitors of the hill. In this lecture, we will try
03.LEC TURES
to put forward the development of urban environment especially for the
regular visitors and habitants of the district.
As Ben Slama mentions the urban ways engage to social and cultural, but at
the same time very important physical and environmental dimensions. This
notion of ‘urban way’ refers to the dynamism of urban spaces themselves
and but also to the movement of the citizens in public spaces. The urban
ways are in close relationship with the concept of environment insofar as it
supposes to take into account and to integrate the intersensory dimension
of crossed spaces. From this point of view, the experiment of urban is not
only of a visual nature. But as Chelkof and Thibaud mentions: “Our body
lives space by means of each one of its directions, surely as visual spaces
but also sound, tactile, thermal and olfactory.
124
Each traversed space engages the various methods of perception, those
which are related to the built forms and the materiality of those spaces
(voids which articulate the built masses, the urban ceiling and the urban
ground, vertical walls, street furniture, etc…).
The deinition of a ‘way~parcours’
The notion of parcours in French is diicult to understand. It indicates
commonly various meanings: it can be a movement (cheminement), a way
(trajet), a crossing (traversée), a circuit, an itinerary (itinéraire)… This action
associates at the same time to the act of moving and to the space trough
which we advance. It combines together space, time and action. For
certain researchers this advance can be summarised as the displacement
of human body in space and for others, it is the association of a context
(environment) and an advancing (movement in space). According to Ben
Slama this ‘displacement’ is thus treated like “an exposure in real time”
which is a chain of acts like, to walk, to see, to read, to stare, to listen, to
move away, to remember, to tell about this advance. And this displacement,
thus, gives a meaning to this space.
Etymologically the word ‘parcours’ comes from Late Latin ‘percursus’ which
is the past participle of Latin ‘percurrere’. We are able to ind the earliest use
in 1268. ‘Per’ means ‘par en par’ – across or through and ‘cursus’ is course. We
will be interested in the meaning of ‘course’ which is related to the urban
terminology and it is the one that was used in Italy in the 17th century.
Avenue. Thus the course is approaching an avenue right through. The
course is the avenue and the ‘parcours’ is the crossing that we are doing.
125
We can dissociate the two terms ‘urban’ and ‘parcours’ in order to simply
the comprehension. In usual dictionaries, the way~parcours is a journey,
a way to follow, or followed by a vehicle, a person, a thing, or a natural
element. We ind here the idea that the ‘way’ claims an active attitude from
the one that follows it.
Parcours as deines ‘Le Robert’ «un chemin qu’accomplit ou que doit
accomplir une personne , un vehicule ou un cours d’eau, pour aller d’un
point à un autre. » We can translate as “A way which achieves or which
must achieve a person, a vehicle or a waterway, to go from one point
to another“. The ‘urban’ term used in adjectival form, indicates all that is
«city-de la ville». Consequently, we can just develop the irst deinition of
‘urban way’ (parcours urbain) as : “It is a way or an itinerary which one can
undertake to go from one point to another in the city “.
As a result, it is diicult to specify and qualify the urban way in a precised
03.LEC TURES
manner, but we can airm that there is a clear physical existence in the space.
Moreover, it is its spatiality which guides and directs the displacement.
We have to underline that the concept of parcours is very often used in
description of the urban landscape, in particular by Kevin Lynch which is
one of the pioneers in this ield.
The characteristics of a ‘way~itinerary~parcours’
Based upon the deinitions and the issues that we have mentioned we can
say that a way~parcours,
− has an aim, an objective,
− has a main idea, a unity,
− has a departure and an arrival point which could be identical,
− is continuous, has an itinerary,
− asks for a displacement, a movement,
− compares diferent steps, events and pauses,
− connects diferent steps according to a certain rhythm which belongs
to itself: as alternation of walk, diferent pauses, repetition of events...
− it leaves the freedom of choice to the recipient of the itinerary
according to the will of the director of the itinerary. It is thus determined
and deined, because, either it is followed by a person and in this case
it is this person that determines according to the goal to reach (for
example the itinerary of a person doing shopping), or it is to be followed
by a person and in this case somebody else determine the itinerary for
this person, by leaving him/her a free will.
As one can realise in the characteristics the terms ‘way’ and ‘itinerary’ are
used according to the diferent objective and advance of the displacement.
126
All the characteristics that are found in the uses could be a way in order to
structure the interior spaces of a building: that is named as ‘the architectural
walk’, or those of a city: urban ways or urban itinerary.
It exists in architecture a way to learn and build a space by the movement
according to an organised itinerary. We can see this in some spatial
organisations that Le Corbuiser has developed. As the main theme of this
lecture is related to the urban scale we will concentrate on urban ways,
itineraries.... ‘parcours urbain’...
Ways or itineraries in the city
127
In his work ‘Analyse Urbaine’, Philippe Panerai (1999) present the urban
itineraries like a constituent of urban landscape as for example the node,
the site, the limits and the landmarks. Thus the urban itinerary takes place
in picturesque analysis of the city where the observer in the city perceives
this itinerary as a parade of pictures/paintings. According to Panerai in
the crossing of the city and its analysis the observer associates images to
itinerary and to time. The urban walk, just as the architectural walk, uses a
displacement, that is the movement of the image. It is a part of a scenario
with a series of varied landscapes and sequences more or less broken from
one landscape to another. It is deined again as a series of events and this
is the deinition of the parcours which arises from here.
The Picturesque of Urban Landscape
The picturesque appears as a way to increase the value a land not only
by its monuments but also by its pictures, images and the landscape
that it proposes to the observer while he/she takes a walk. Panerai puts
03.LEC TURES
froward the idea that the notion of picturesque today constitutes a new
approach of the perception of the city by urban landscape. We can talk
about picturesque analysis, glossary of picturesque, introduction to the
picturesque in the project, the coming out the urban picturesque.
Here we could ask such a question ‘what kind of precautions related to the
urban structure and the composition and hierarchy of urban elements and
volumes that we could ind in an urban space can be developed in order
to enrich the urban itineraries and especially urban itineraries of everyday
life?’.
Developing / Constructing a parcours
From this characteristics of the continuation of events, we can consider that
the urban parcours is consisted of a series of adjusting/centring of the ield
of vision of the observer as he/she goes along. Consequently, each position
of the observer corresponds to a visual angle and to an observed scene (or
the direction of look) which are induced by contours of the elements that
frames the scene.
Milan (2001), in her work ‘Un parcours de découverte sue les pentes de la
Croix-Rousse’, proposes a method in order to build an urban itinerary by
choosing a certain number of sights interesting for which we will deine
the position of the observer, the observed scene and the visual angle that
frames this scene. It is needed to develop a mechanism in order to develop
perspectives (as Milan used references in the work of Le Corbusier) or a
series of pictures as the work of Panerai. Two cases arise for the sequences
of the sights (Image 6).
128
129
Image 6

de Découverte sur les Pentes de
la Croix-Rousse’, Milan Béatrice,
TPFE, Ecole d’Architecture de
Lyon, 2001
Case 1. The last observed scene contains the next scene to see. The framing
of scene 1 contains the one of scene 2. We will be able thus to play on these
two elements in order to cause the displacement towards the next position
of the observer. If the framing of scene 1 follows a horizontal scanning then
it suggests a panorama and invites rather to a pause. If it follows a vertical
scanning, then the glance will more easily be centred as the framing will be
more closed. In this case the observer is more invited to displace.
Case 2. The coming scene that we have to observe is external with the
03.LEC TURES
last scene that we have observed. That is to say the next position of the
observer is visible from the point of scene 1 and we will be able to exploit on
this position and on the framing of scene 1 for the sequence of the scenes.
That is to say this position is not visible, and in this case, only the framing of
scene 1 can cause the sequence of the scenes. In such a situation hesitation
and curiosity should arise!
In Panerai’s sequence analysis he talks about the tools or the decisions which
will make it possible to carry out these framings needs some perceptive
rules which will make it possible to create a state of balance or imbalance
to encourage the observer -according to the scene – to take a pause or to
continue his displacement.
In his work ‘Prolégomènes à une psychologie de l’architecture’ Wollin (1976)
mentions that according to the observed scene , the produced efects will
depend primarily on a good delimitation of space and internal unit of the
scene. This unit can rise from the proportions of the forms, in other words,
of the capacity to balance the height and the width, the vertical and the
horizontal in order to reach the efects of lightness, ight against gravity or
then to feel the calm and the rest.
This advance in the city abounds codes that user does not have the
complete control, but he/she must assimilate to be able to practice it. In
public space the user has to cope with a layout of coniguration imposed
by urbanism. He/she always manages to create places of withdrawal (a walk
close to a pavement, a public bench, a corner in a square…) and a walk for
use or pleasure which will be his/her own traces at once. The ‘way’ appears
in the ield where the relation between space and time is most favourable
when a user displaces to another place when he/she begins the itinerary
130
by foot from his/her own dwelling. It is a piece of the city which represents
a path distinguishing private space from the public one: it is what results
as a crossing, a succession of steps in a street or an avenue, meant little by
little by its link with the dwelling or the workplace.
Urban way~parcours of everyday life
When we are working in the hill of the Croix-Rousse the notion of ‘daily
urban ways’ becomes important. The urban way of everyday life requires
a progressive learning process, which progresses by the repetition of
commitment of the body of the user in public space until exerting a kind
of habituation.
131
According to Ben Slama, the daily banality of this process shared by citizens,
hides its complexity as a cultural practice. Because of the frequency of the
use of an itinerary, it becomes daily. It is a way to adapt public space. The
itinerary of everyday life ensures a solution of continuity between what is
it more intimate (dwelling) and what is most unknown (the whole of the
city itself ).
Ben Slama mentions that the itinerary of everyday life represent a set of
initiated trajectories beginning from the place of dwelling (as departure
point towards other destinations). It is the place of the relation to others
like being social. The inhabitant is thus registered in a network of social
signs (neighbours, coniguration of the places, etc), which represents
his/her everyday life and which includes all that is familiar to him/her.
In the repeated two-way trip of the inhabitant, he/she creates a certain
habituation to the ambiances of a way which is the daily urban parcours.
03.LEC TURES
Special case of daily urban way~parcours: the itinerary of residence / work
In the work of Hanène this type of ‘way’ is marked by the pressure related
to space-time, which requires to traverse a certain distance in a possible
minimum time to reach the workplace. The daily language, as tells us
Michel De Certeau (2011) in his work “the practice of everyday life”, brings
an enough precise description to talk about this usual and ordinary act:
“to jump out of the bed”, “to grab a quick breakfast”, “to catch his train”,
“to plunge in the subway”, “to arrive on the dot”… It is what means to the
author (and also commonly) to join his workplace.
Ben Slama underlines the diference which exists between the two
directions of this route: residence/work or work/residence. Contrary to the
irst the second supports a diferent use diferent urban space, not only
inalized by its functional use. It happens that the way on the return at
the end of the day aims at granting the maximum of wandering, strolling
(déambulation), the approach becomes that of a walker who dreams of a
travel in front of such a shop front, who allows short breaks, who appreciates
odours under the trees of the large avenue, remembers the parcours since
his/her own childhood… He/she advances in the same parcours, a chain
of sequences of emotion, attention, meeting, discovery, memories that he/
she lives while advancing.
It is obvious that the urban itinerary, even it is of everyday life is never
stable. The organisation of environmental elements even when they are
controlled is dynamic and complex. The user records a certain number of
familiar images which helps to structure his representation of urban space.
On the other hand an unusual landscape can generate a certain surprise
or disturbance at the observer. With the sight of inhabitual situations
perception will be accompanied with interrogations and worries.
132
How can we overcome them?
Above we have talked about the existing urban itineraries that was
proposed to visit the hill of the Croix-Rousse with certain themes related to
history and culture of the city.
133
When we are concerned about the development of the urban itineraries
for the regular visitors we must think about the diferent types of visitors
we could face during the design process. Ben Slama has worked on an
explorative typology of regular visitors . According to him in general
the regular visitor of the public spaces is guided by his/her habits. He/
she connects a serie of procedures without questioning his/her own
unconscious practice. To be able to develop a typology of the visitors
they have develop certain criteria. Visitors according to the way that
they pay attention, their practical commitment and inally the way they
expressed themselves. Finally proiles (expert, disinterested, in a rush,
historian, anxious, nostalgic, disoriented, discoverer, blind, stroller-lâneur)
Image 7
‘Parcours Urbains Quotidiens,
l’Habitude dans la Perception des
Ambiances’, Hanène Ben Slama,
Thèse ENSAG, 2007, p.154
03.LEC TURES
and combined proiles (expert, nostalgic and historian regular visitor disinterested, anxious, in a rush visitor) were grouped (Image 7).
Through all those relections that we have mentioned about the notion of
urban ways we can retain certain necessary conditions in order to develop
well organised continuity of an urban way~parcours. It should introduce
an itinerary, it should courage a displacement, contain events, pauses and
points of departure and arrival. It should respect the characteristics of
continuity, it should be a guide to discover the urban places, but it should
not create the feeling of ‘obligation to follow’.
So the next question appears as ‘how to organise an itinerary in order to
enrich the urban ways of everyday life without limiting the liberty of the
action of the habitant and visitor?’.

the Rue de la Tourette, Rue Ornano, Rue St François d’Assise on the West
and ending with Rue du Bon Pasteur Montées des Carmelitas on the East.
Morphological Analyzes of the zone consists of the typology of the structuring elements; the stairs, the terraces to igure out the determining effect on the slopy topography of the Zone 1 and the efects they have on
the connections of the site. Figure and ground graphics are drawn to see
the density and typology of urban forms. The early settled lower parts of
the area are more dense and intricate with spine forming texture while the
urban texture is looser with green and open areas in the midst and on the
upper parts in the zone with planned blocks.
Use and meaning analyzes shows the topographic structure is lat on
the North, sloping in the mid and again lat on the river banks. Circulation,
points of intensity, the analyzes of sound in the area, using types and densities according to time intervals of the day are examined to perceive the
using quality and meaning. The historical and monumental buildings and
public spaces are shown to distinguish the facilities of the area.

But in few yeard the project
which is coming from the north
of the river will renovate all the
face of the banks which will be a
new public space below the road.

_Mur des Lyonnais
(People of Lyon Wall)
This wall has been painted on
a blind wall of an apartment
building on the saone river bank.
This 6 stories high ediice shows
a typical housing building of lyon
with its inhabitants. however,
the inhabitants are not common
people, they are all famous writers,
inventors,
chefs,
scientiics,
artists... who were born or lived
in lyon. nowadays, it is hard to
have a set back to contemplate
the painted wall as there is no
space around it. Moreover it is
completely saturated with cars.

_Clos Saint Benoit
(Saint Benoit Courtyard)
It is a small square build in
a dense area. it seems like a
building has been destroyed and
they built a square instead. it is
a lot mineral with a few trees. A
children playing area set in the
middle. it is a very calm and quiet
place. As it is completely hidden
from the river banks only the
inhabitants knows about it. it is a
very intimate space.
_Place Soeur Louise
It is a very secret place you have
(Sister Louise Square)
to know about to go there. it
is hidden behind a housing
building, you can access it
through a very narrow street, it
is still not visible when you enter
the courtyard because the irst
half is a parking lot. Therefore it is
not used by the public but by the
inhabitants.
The garden part of the courtyard
has many colored lowers which
create an happy space to hang
around. surprisingly, there is no
bench to sit down.
150
_Place Rouville
(Rouville Square)
151
The Rouville square is called
square but it is more a belvedere
looking down at the river and
the city. you also got a stunning
view on fourvière and the
surroundings of the hill. The
square is divided into 2 parts,
a green corridor bordering the
road and the belvedere part with
the view.
on this square you can ind a few
benches but a recent contest
used the space to promote the
furniture of an artist.
_Place Lieutenant Morel
(Square Lieutenant Morel)
The square has been transformed
as a circulation knot. Therefore
the street cuts the square into
two diferent parts.
one part at the south of the rue des
chartreuse has been landscaped
as a park by its inhabitants. one
half of this garden is fenced and
is used as a vegetable garden by
its inhabitants. it is also possible
to recycle earth.
The other part is open and
slopping down.
04.ANALYSIS
_Sutter Park
This park is big compare to the
other one on the site. it is all
slopping down, therefore you
have a lot of staircases going
through diferent paths. The
vegetation varies between grass,
bushes and trees. you also get
nice points of views on lyon
peninsula. The problem with
this park is that it is a dead hand,
therefore you don’t feel like going
all the way down to go all the way
up after that.
152
_Montée du Lieutenant Allouche
(Lieutenant Allouche Up Hill)
This bending road ends on the
top of the croix-rousse hill on a
nice belvedere where you can
contemplate the view. it is nicely
vegetelised with trees as pine
trees.

_Market of the croix rousse
Happen everyday from 6 to 1.30pm except on Monday.
On Tuesday the market is more specialized on manufactured products as cosmetics, clothes,
shoes, bags... saturday morning will be more organic food.
Nevertheless, every market day you can see an organized market with on the left hand side
food items (fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese, ishes, and meats) whereas on the right hand side
it will be the manufactured products.
This market high in color is really appreciated by the inhabitants of la croix-rousse but also
by the people from lyon. it is also visited by the tourist who want to get the true french
experience with buying groceries at a traditional market.
It used to be well known for the good bargains you can do because of the low price which is
not true anymore.
_Christmas market
Every year you can ind the
christmas market selling items and
food. You also ind the traditional
christmas farm which kids and older
people love because of the animals
exhibition.
_Vogue des Marrons; (chestnut festival)
The «vogue des marrons» is 150 years old, it
is a true Croix-Rousse tradition. you can taste
delicious hot chestnut and the irst white wine
of the season.
Now it is a popular event where you can ind a
lot of attractions (the kind of one that you have
in an amusement park).
Indeed, you can amuse yourself with the big
wheel, the carousel, the bumper cars, the hook
a duck for the youngest... Also you can’t miss the
candyloss and tofee apple food.
_Grande braderie: clearance sale
Every year, the croix-rousse organize

Morphological analyzes: The group studying on the second zone
beginning from Boulevard de la Croix Rousse on the North until the banks of
Saone between Montée de la Grand Coté and Rue Fernand Rey and Montée
des Carmélites has revealed the morphology of green areas, streets and
squares related to the topography of the area showing the heterogeneous
density of buildings. Morphological typology and heights of the buildings,
igure-ground comparisons has igured out the vernacular, 19th Century

weaving the hill
from traboules to the rooftops
The third group has studied on the zone beginning from the Boulevard on
the North to the Place des Terreaux on the South and between the streets
Montée de la Grande Coté and Rue Pouteau and Rue St Polycarpe. This narrow zone has the two parcours of the Unesco World Heritage Area; Parcours
Des Voraces and Parcours de la Grande Coté. This part is perhaps the most
steepy and the most dense traboules zone of the area with large building
blocks compared to the other parts of the city and the hill causing intricate
and mostly enclosed spaces.
Morphological analyzes: Begin with examining the vertical and horizontal traversal linkages of the area on historical maps. Besides the limiting
vertical streets, the two Unesco Parcours passing through some of the traboules constitute important vertical linkages in the area. The transversality
of the area is strong because of the large building lots with courts inside.
The igure-ground graphics reveal the dense texture of the area. The vertical direct stairway passing through Jardin de la Grand Coté and the passages through the traboules with courts constitute the passage types of
the zone. The efect of the traboules is an important issue in the intricate
texture and the transition movement of the zone.
The site includes an important renovation project realized in 1970s of social housing blocks and social facilities around Jardin de la Grand Coté and
the the arrangements on Montée de la Grande Coté. The quality of restorations are considered besides the search about the states of the green areas
whether they are designed or naturally grown.
200
Use and Meanings analyzes: In the area are followed by using the historical maps showing the usages of the hill. The area with its public or private
traboules has turned to be more touristic and popular in the last years. The
usage type of the buildings is mostly residential.
Landscape and Ambience analyzes: These analyzes of the zone are revealed by the quality and quantity of natural light and shading and sounds
through the traboules, through the transversal and vertical streets in the
area.

Fourth group has studied on the zone limited by Montéé Saint Sebastien
and Rue Pouteau on East and West and Boulevard de la Croix Rousse and
Place Louis Pradel on the North and South. The area has been deined in
three morphological types; “monteés, (climbing up system)”, “transversals
(crossing system)”, “ground loors (parallel system)” by the group.
Morphological analyzes of the zone begins with setting three layers; the
vertical streets climbing up to the Boulevard on both sides of the zone, the
transversal passages lying parallel to the slope with two types of sytems;
main system of streets, and the traboules that dig into the blocks. The volumetric structure have been drawn to reveal the typologies and the connection with the ground aof these voids.
Use and Meaning analyzes consist of the quality and the quantity of human traic and the low and the usage types at the vertical limits and horizontal traverses, the state of the existing traboules, potential places to stay
in the area. The population living on the area, most common functions of
the ground level are also analyzed to detect the functioning of the zone.

Landscape and Ambiance analyzes include the classiication of the potential of the views in the area (“oriented” or “giving view to belvedere”, or
a possibility for a “skyview”). The sun light received during the day and the
efect it gives to the streets, the traboules and the facades have been also
analyzed to deine the ambiance of the zone and found that the traversing
streets are mostly shadowy because of the high facades and the South facing vertical streets are mostly sunny during the day.

“Le Gros Caillou” and “Place Louis Pradel” on the North and South, Montéé
Saint Sebastien on the West and by Rhone on the East, limited the ifth
group’s area. The area is the Eastern end of the hill of Croix Rousse formed
by upper and lower part separated by cutting slopped green area: Garden
Croix Paquet.
Morphological analysis: The zone is formed by the topography and the
natural elements. Three historical streets, Montée Saint Sébastien-Rue des
Fantasque and Rue Alsace Lorraine, compose the main axes of the zone
since 1350s, and they are parallel with the slope. The blocks are also formed
by following the topography and traversed by streets, stairs and traboules,
which are perpendicular to the slope.
The group created a timeline and determined 3 typologies for 3 periods of
urbanization. The blocks, which are built before 18th Century, are open and
porous, they incorporate opened and they corner the traboules. Contrarily
“ilot Soulot” contain a dense and closed morphology, composed on 2
axes and embodied direct crossing traboules. The 19th Century blocks are
completely closed and they have longitudinal axe composition.
Coordinators:
Christian Marcot
Derya Altıner
Use and Meaning analysis: The use and meaning analysis consists of the
inventory of activities, lows and noise analysis. In the zone, the usage of the
buildings is mostly residential but on ground level, cafes/bars, oices and
commercial uses igured out. Although the use of cars is more intensely on
the riverbanks, inland pedestrian low stands out. Because of the car traic,
the noisiest part of the area is the riverbank.
262
Landscape and Ambiance analysis: The zone is marked out by breaks in
the particularly dense tissue of Croix Rousse, embodied by squares, small
spaces and green spaces based on topography.
It is tried to reveal on that area diferent perceptions by climbing and
descending, modiications on the perception by a vegetal treatment
according diferent seasons and the contrast between the entrances of
traboules and the environment perceived while crossing.

This group has been divided into three subgroups in the Project stage each
group studying to design proposals as points, lines or surfaces with the
aim of developing a new transition possibility in the area using the open
spaces.
FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, and why not more?
UP & DOWN THE WALL OF THE CROIx-ROUSSE
Points of view, meeting points, traboules and urban staircases have been
used to structure the new grid on which three parcours have been drawn
passing connecting green areas and parcs using the existing walls and
terraces creating art walls and new spaces under the terraces. This line
connecting the upper parts to the river banks passing through the green
areas constituting a telepherique to the other side of the Saone.
ExPANDING STREET ART
The group that has dealt with the surfaces have proposed to create public
and semi- public areas used as children play grounds, workshop studios,
exhibition places with forms rooting from the Roman urban grid plans and
to spread this art objects are placed on the area above the squares.

In the second week of the workshop this group has proposed a walking
line originating from the leading function of the traboules beginning from
the Boulevard passing accross through the private terraces and Garden of
La Grand Coté passing through the Church of Bon Pasteur and the old
school of Fine Arts considering them as the important points of the line.
These two buildings are used for lexible public functions. There is a bridge
connecting these two buildings over the street to maintain the continuity
of the artiicial traboule line. The next step of the parcour is an open
walking line as an alternative to the existing garden parcour which strolls
through the terrace next to the Amphiteatre de Trois Gaules connecting
Rue des Table Claudiens to Place Sathoney. Terrace surfaces which have
been added to the parcours enable to view Lyon and the lower parts of the
hill. Tunnel-like short passages, trenches and fences arrange the parcour
line passing from both public and private terraces.

Third group has worked together while creating the theme of a system
consisting of punctual, linear and planar (surface) solutions.
Weaving the Hill
In the proposals stage of the workshop the group has adopted the idea
of the weaving function of the silk production in Croix Rousse. They have
designed a continuous walking line on diverse elevations dropping of
on some points constituting surfaces to be used for public or semi public
recreation facilities. By this strolling walking line an alternative transition
opportunity has been created to help to promote the vertical movement
against the strong horizontal transversality of the zone. The new parcours
passing through the large building lots lies between the buildings
sometimes by dropping on the roof of a building sometimes leads the
walker to the ground contributing to the usage of the existing traboules.
The uses of the new weaving is assigned according to the existing ambiance
and facilities the building lots already have like green and sports, music,
cinema events,housing area with buccolic, calm ambiance, party and bars
or restaurants. The shape of the weaving line is designed to be a breathing,
round shaped, light, surface like and dynamic structure to sembolize the
silk thread. The line meets with the ground on three points being the
irst on the top with a traboule, the second in the midst of the zone on
a terrace and the last on the lower parts in Passage Thiafait. These three
points are studied in detail for the facilities they will have and about their
construction methods and the materials to be used on the new surfaces for
their compliance with the ambiance of the area.

In the proposal stage the group has worked in three sub groups, one for
creating solutions as points, the other as lines and the last for creating surfaces in the area.
Floating Points
The point group has focused on the existing traboules. They have proposed a new structure by vertical extrusion of the courts (points)used as
public spaces public uses reaching sunlight on an upper point of the void.
They are connected with a stair case from the ground.
366
Red line White box
The line group has stated their gole to create a succession of passages
(line) in between the several heritages solving the transversal discontinuity by creating a way to climp-up the hill by passing through traboules and
typical passages of the site. They have realized new arrangements in the
courtyards of the existing buildings like tearing of the adjacent walls to
connect the voids and new public open areas on the new parcour.

How to better integrate the urban structure of the hill in the passages ?
Surfaces group has tried to better integrate the horizontal urban blocks of
the hill by designing new transversal open areas (surfaces) on diferent levels by functioning them as new public park surfaces. These new horizontal
open green areas constitute belvederes to the east where they meet with
Montée Saint Sebastien which they name as the vertical spine.

The group has been divided into three subgroups and proposed projects
based on punctual, linear and planar solutions.
Acupuncture
“The point group” irstly deined dark, green and historical area in their
zone. Since their objective is to enlighten the dark areas, enhance the green
areas and increase the awareness of the historical areas by beneiting these
areas’ overlapping relationships, as a common tool, they aimed to establish
a walking-track. According the theme they specialized, the identity of each
traboule as; “green system”, “light system” and “historical part” besides integrating the traboules to the proposed path marked by signs. They tried
to revitalize the existing traboules by using performance arts and green
touches in unused spaces as an urban acupuncture system.
Urban traboule
“The line group” aimed to generate continuity between the top and the
bottom of the city, mineral and vegetal parts and the river by creating one
urban traboule. They deined alternative courses to go from the square of
“Le Gros Caillou” to Rhone level by revealing the mystery of traboules, by
integrating water element and vertical vegetable lines into traboules and
by designing a mall area at the riverbanks.
Coordinators:
Christian Marcot
Derya Altıner
394
The Vertical Traboules
“The Surface group” focused on the discontinuity between the existing traboules. They searched for a solution to have a porous system. They have
proposed a new structure by creating vertical traboules for the continuity
between all diferent strata: the existing traboules, historical underground
system and the new tunnel. In that system, for the valorisation of the historical/patrimonial underground system unknown by inhabitants, they
have suggested new punctual uses as exposition, theatre…etc. And for the
existing traboules they deined new uses as space sharing, co-working and
cultural activities.

currently Adjunct Professor of Architectural Design at the Department of
Architecture and Design of Polytechnic of Turin.
The center of her theoretical research focuses on the relationship between
the images of memory and their role in the architectural design, and
this research develops at diferent scales: from urban design, developing
the theme of urban and territorial cartography, to architectural design,
developing the theme of the relationship between devices and techniques
of architectural representation and the production of architectural images.
On these two lines are based her publications and her architectural projects.
