French Landscape and Urban Designla 411 006 Or LA 511 006, 4 French Landscape and Urban Design LA 411 006 or LA 511 006, 4-5-18 Class meets April 7 – June 3, 2018, Paris Housing, check in May 19, check out June 4 Instructors: Chris Wilson, Professor of Landscape Architecture, [email protected], 1 505 710-7169 (for use in Paris) Katya Crawford, Assoc. Prof. of Landscape Architecture, [email protected], 1 505 379-0772 (for use in Paris) This course focuses on the interplay of landscape and urban design in the Renaissance, Baroque, Modern and, now, Globalization eras, and on how that history informs contemporary design and planning. The course commences in April and May at UNM with four class meetings, including orientation, health and safety sessions, overview lectures and reading discussion seminars. During the two plus weeks in and around Paris, we visit the landscapes, gardens, and urban ensembles that have been pivotal in the development of one of the world’s premier design cultures. Historic environments predominate during the first week, with contemporary projects scheduled primarily in the second week. Faculty field talks, discussions and time for student observation and sketching intermix with field tours led by French scholars and designers, and visits to design firms and design exhibitions. Learning Objectives: Develop a broad understanding of the social factors, theories and design techniques shaping historic and contemporary French landscape and urban design. Learn methods to record, analyze and synthesize your understanding of built spaces through visual and written notes, diagrams and photography. Develop your personal methods for observation and field documentation Have a career changing experience through exposure to inspiring design and planning Housing: May 19 – June 1: Fondation des Etats-Unis (FEU), 15 Blvd Jourdan, 75014 Paris, http://www.feusa.org individual rooms with compact bathrooms; part of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, http://www.ciup.fr/en/accueil/en/category/home/ June 1- 4: Generator Hostel 9-11 Place du Colonel Fabien, 75010 Paris, double room with bath, includes breakfast buffet, 7-10am, https://generatorhostels.com/destinations/paris Trip Safety: In light of terrorist attacks in recent years in Paris, we will monitor the US State Department website for travel advisories as we make final plans: http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/alertswarnings.html. Course orientation sessions in both Albuquerque and Paris will address safety issues. Requirements and Procedures: All students must complete the Global Education Office registration process. Any student with a physical or mental disability who requires special arrangements for lectures, field work, or 1 any aspect of the course, should contact one of the instructors as soon as possible so appropriate arrangements can be made to give you full access to the course content. All students must conduct themselves according to standards of academic integrity and mature behavior. Please refer to the Pathfinder student manual, https://pathfinder.unm.edu, for the UNM student code of conduct, student grievance procedure, sexual harassment policy, and other policies and regulations. Also read the Fondation des États-Unis (FEU) Residents Guidebook: http://www.feusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FEU-Resident- Guidebook_2017_web.pdf, and House Rules: http://www.feusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FEU-House- Rules_EN.pdf. We work to continue our long-term relationship with the FEU and any bad behavior on the part of any of us could jeopardize the possibility for future students to have a similar experience. We fully expect everyone to behave in a mature way. However, please remember that if you are asked to leave the FEU by the administration there, run afoul of French law, or make any other major infraction of behavior such as harassing a fellow student, we have the authority and, in some instances, the responsibility to send you home early. Travel in a foreign country can be stressful, so everyone should strive to cultivate a positive attitude, be respectful of others in the class, and stay with the group while we are on field trips. If you are feeling stressed, homesick or face any other problems, please reach out to one or both of the instructors—we stand ready to support you. Harassment and Discrimination Our university and class meeting places should always be spaces of mutual respect, kindness, and support, without fear of sexual, racial or other forms of discrimination, harassment, or violence. This applies whether we are on campus, or off campus during this official field course in France. Should you ever need assistance or have concerns about incidents that violate this principle, you can find information on support services listed on the LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center website, https://loborespect.unm.edu. Each of your instructors stands ready and more than willing to be of assistance in such a situation. But note that because UNM faculty are considered “responsible employees” by the U.S. Department of Education, any disclosure of gender discrimination (including sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, and sexual violence) made to us must be reported to the university's Title IX coordinator. Councilors at LoboRESPECT, and councilors and physicians at the Student Health Center are free of this reporting requirement. For more information on the campus policy regarding sexual misconduct, please see: https://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/2000/2740.html. Readings. All readings are available on UNM Learn (Spring 2018 Section Group G4Z ), except web links noted below. All of this reading needs to be completed before discussion sessions May 14 and 16, right after finals week. So start reading now, if you can, and block out time after your last final exam to complete the readings.

In 1989, architect Dominique Perrault, aged only 36, was the winner of the international competition. After the Grand Louvre, the Opéra Bastille and the Institut du monde arabe, this new project located outside of Paris historic districts completed the policy of large public works projects led during the two seven-year terms of François Mitterrand. The architect’s mission was to create ‘a symbolic place for Paris and a library for France’, a place open to all, which is both a public area for passing through and the beginning of an initiatory journey.

I. Annexe 1 : Historique du projet des Buttes Chau- mont a) La genèse Parc des Buttes-Chaumont Descriptif général ⇒ Les origines du jardin paysager Les traités anglais du XVIII˚ siècle consacrés aux jardins ne traitent que des parcs de châteaux et ne portent sur des questions d’esthétique : comment créer des paysages dignes d’être peints, c’est- à-dire pittoresques. En réalité, on cherche surtout, par une rupture subtile avec le paysage rural environnant, à mettre en valeur la demeure aristocratique ainsi que l’exige une société extrêmement hiérarchisée. Autant que les portraits de famille (conversation pieces) destinés à valoriser la lignée, l’aristocratie anglaise apprécie les portraits de maisons (voir le film Meurtre dans un jardin anglais) destinés à renforcer la présence territoriale de leur demeure et sa domination spatiale, dans une tradi- tion encore féodale. Le naturel du jardin paysager sera donc un naturel au second degré, identifiable comme naturel fabriqué. On peut ici jouer sur les mots car ce naturel fabriqué est fondé sur la présence de fabriques : outre les commodités qu’elle offre pour la vie sociale, la multiplication de ces pavillons d’agrément produit des fragments de paysages exotiques (à base de pagodes chinoises ou tentes turques) ou historiques (fondés sur le temple antique ou la ruine médiévale).

  • Promenade Dans Le Parc Monceau
    Page : 1 sur 16 Promenade dans le parc Monceau HISTORIQUE Le parc Monceau est ainsi appelé du nom du village de Monceau situé en périphérie proche de Paris. Ce village existait du temps de Charles Le Chauve. Ce village est simplement entré dans l’histoire à l’époque du duc de Chartres (1747-1793) futur duc d’Orléans 1785, père de Louis-Philippe, et connu aussi sous le titre de Philippe Egalité achète en 1769 la terre de Monceau au lendemain de son mariage avec la princesse de Penthièvre. Il achète le terrain (un hectare) en 1769 à Louis Colignon et lui confie en tant qu’architecte un pavillon octogonal, à deux étages, achevé en 1773. Par la suite furent ajoutées quatre galeries en étoile, qui prolongeaient au rez-de- Le Parc Monceau Page : 2 sur 16 chaussée quatre des pans, mais l'ensemble garda son unité. Colignon dessine aussi un jardin à la française c’est à dire arrangé de façon régulière et géométrique. Puis, entre 1773 et 1779, le prince décida d’en faire construire un autre plus vaste, dans le goût du jour, celui des jardins «anglo-chinois» qui se multipliaient à la fin du XVIIIe siècle dans la région parisienne notamment à Bagatelle, Ermenonville, au Désert de Retz, à Tivoli, et à Versailles. Le duc confie les plans à Louis Carrogis dit Carmontelle (1717-1806). Ce dernier ingénieur, topographe, écrivain, célèbre peintre et surtout portraitiste et organisateur de fêtes, décide d'aménager un jardin d'un genre nouveau, "réunissant en un seul Jardin tous les temps et tous les lieux ", un jardin pittoresque selon sa propre formule.

  • Enlightenment Walking Tour 4
    France and Paris were changed dramatically by the Enlightenment and ensuing French Revolution. Likewise, many of the monuments and buildings you’ll see on this walk were “reinvented” during the 18th century. The Panthéon, where this walk starts, began as a church sponsored by an absolute monarch and ended the century as a monument to the country’s most famous Enlightenment figures. The place de la Concorde, where the walk ends, saw one monarch celebrated with a statue and another executed on the same site. Saint-Sulpice and Saint- Thomas-d’Aquin were transformed from churches to secular “temples” and back to churches again. And the Palais du Luxembourg, Hôtel de Salm, and Palais Bourbon, homes at the beginning of the century to royalty and aristocrats, ended the century as homes to the country’s newly created democratic institutions. In addition to showcasing neoclassical buildings and monuments, the walk also provides an opportunity to wander through part of the Saint-Germain des Prés quarter, one of the city’s most lively and interesting neighborhoods. Start: Panthéon (Métro: Maubert Mutualité) Finish: Place de la Concorde (Métro: Concorde) Distance: 3 miles Time: 3 - 4 hours Best Days: Any day Copyright © Ann Branston 2011 HISTORY Religion and Philosophy Politics and Economics The political and economic situation in 18th-century France provided fertile As the 18th century began, France’s monarchy and the Catholic church ground for Enlightenment philosophers (know as “philosophes”) who (known later collectively as the “ancien régime”) were at the apex of their believed that natural “scientific” laws could be applied to social, economic power and glory.
