项目坐落于普瓦捷市中心的Palais区，设计主题为对公共空间的使用和实践的反思。设计团队采用了“Grand’Goule”为意向设计了一系列临时装置作品，“Grand’Goule”是一种为当地人熟知的中世纪的龙的形象，由此形成的装置作品已于2021年夏天，在当地居民的参与实践下落成。

The Palais district in downtown Poitiers is the subject of a reflection on the uses and practices of public spaces. Taking up the imagination of the Grand’Goule, a medieval dragon well known to the people of Poitou, the collective has created temporary installations which could be practiced by the inhabitants during the summer of 2021.

自2020年初以来，Aquitaine公爵宫殿正式归普瓦捷市所有，曾经的宫殿是权力与正义的象征，如今这座历史遗产建筑正在进入一个全新的历史阶段。随着宫殿重新向公众开放，普瓦捷市政府将一个全新的城市计划提上了议程，这项计划不仅涉及到历史文化遗产公共空间的未来发展，同时还涉及到从宫殿到圣克罗伊博物馆、再到大教堂、圣约翰洗礼堂等公共空间与游览路线的规划。

Since the beginning of 2020, the city of Poitiers has become the owner of the Palace of the Dukes of Aquitaine. After being a place of power and justice, this heritage building is entering a new era in its history. With the reopening of the Palace to the public, the city of Poitiers is thinking about an urban project: it is a question of co-designing future occupations for the monument as well as routes and practices in the public space from the Palace to the Sainte-Croix Museum, passing by the Cathedral, the Saint-Jean baptistery, etc.

在Collective Parenthese与Deux Degrés的紧密合作下，整个设计团队开展了对于城市公共空间的严谨反思，并在普瓦捷市中心展开了一项城市预建实验。该实验将使Aquitaine公爵宫殿以及周围公共空间在2021年夏天的转型成为可能。

Teaming up with Deux Degrés, the collective carried out reflection work with the community to carry out an urban prefiguration experiment in the city center of Poitiers. This experimentation in the public space made it possible to test new uses and new practices throughout the summer of 2021.

在经过2019年至2020年的调研以及初步设计阶段后，该城市更新策略以临时城市家具、图形艺术或装置艺术的形式呈现出来，并于2021年夏天得以向公众开放。装置节点形成的游览路线，将居民经常出入的地方与其他较少使用的公共空间连接起来。所有作品的设计均是围绕着“Grand’Goule”的传说发展起来的，中世纪“Grand’Goule”龙的形象在当地深入人心。该游览路线共包括了十几处装置作品，从简单的长凳到Espace Mendès-France天文馆上的龙蛋、龙爪以及巨大的龙眼。

Following a diagnostic phase held between 2019 and 2020, the urban prefigurations, which took the form of ephemeral furniture and graphic or artistic installations, were finally able to see the light of day to be practiced during the summer 2021. This route has made it possible to connect places frequented by the inhabitants to other little used places. The imagination of the prefigurations was developed around the legend of the Grand’Goule, a medieval dragon well known to the Poitevins. The course consists of a dozen installations, ranging from a simple bench to the realization of the egg, the legs and the giant eye of the dragon on the planetarium of Espace Mendès-France.

作品的主题方向是在设计团队与各城市服务部门和法国建筑师协会共同商讨下决定的，在城市规划法规授权的3个月内，设计师与艺术家们得以在公共空间布置绘画作品、彩色装置以及临时城市家具等。

The main orientations of the project were selected in consultation with the various city services and the Architect of the Buildings of France: paintings, colored installations and ephemeral furniture could be arranged in the public space during the 3 regulatory months authorized by the town planning code.

在城市技术服务部门的支持下，设计师得以对城市道路进行艺术创作，例如：为人行横道着色，临时拆除停车位，引入植物和座位等。此外，普瓦捷的技术中心也为项目提供了一系列重型材料与装备，包括：石材、路堤、检查井等，相反，本项目也使这些人们生活中从未重视的基础设施得到了临时的二次利用。圣克罗伊博物馆的储备金被用来购买运输艺术作品的板条箱，运输完成后，这些板条箱则被改造为博物馆中的临时酒吧/咖啡车。

Thanks to the support of the city’s technical services, it was possible to carry out interventions on the roads: coloring of pedestrian crossings, temporary removal of parking spaces to bring in plants and seating. The Poitiers technical center was also called upon to supply heavy materials: stones, curbs, manholes, etc., which made it possible to temporarily reuse this unsuspected resource. The reserves of the Sainte-Croix Museum were used for the supply of crates for the transport of works of art which allowed the construction of the bar of the Museum.

部分装置作品是在现场与当地居民的共同参与下搭建完成的，特别是在博物馆的庭院中。Le Local社区中心作为本项目的重要支持者之一，主持了大部分其他场地的搭建工程。用于建造城市家具的木材来自普瓦捷附近的一家锯木厂，在当地回收中心Regratterie的帮助下，项目中所有的木材都得到了回收。与此同时，普瓦捷文化与遗产中心和项目合作伙伴Deux Degrés还积极开展了媒体与动画宣传工作，旨在让当地居民在整个夏天都能沉浸在这场公共艺术节中。

Part of the construction was done during participatory construction sites, particularly in the courtyard of the Museum. The Le Local neighborhood center has also been an important support for the project, hosting a large part of the other construction sites.The wood used for the construction of the furniture comes from a nearby sawmill in Poitiers and all of the wood was recovered, in particular thanks to the help of Regratterie, the local recycling centre. At the same time, the Culture and Heritage center of Poitiers and Deux Degrés carried out mediation and animation work with partners to offer residents a cultural program on the route throughout the summer.

此次城市规划项目的成果还包括向普瓦捷市政府提供一份关于各种装置使用情况的报告，报告结论将根据设计团队的观察以及居民的反馈得出。该报告有助于市政府评估这一实践经验，并选择其中的某些公共空间节点，在夏季的剩余时间中继续开发其用途与可能性。

The outcome of the urban prefiguration project consists in providing the city of Poitiers with a report on the various experiments, based on the observations and feedback from partners and residents. This should allow the city to evaluate this experience and perhaps to make the choice to perpetuate certain uses developed during the summer.
