Intencity

Jean-Paul Viguier & Associés is an internationally operating practice founded in 1992 and based in Paris. The practice designs and develops projects following a global approach that spans architecture, urban planning, landscaping and interior design. In this exhibition Jean-Paul Viguier presents his manifesto on ‘IntenCity’: How can a growing population and the resulting density and intensity be conducted responsibly by city planners and architects? The ‘IntenCity’ manifesto will be illustrated using four key frames of reference: ‘Historical-Urban Intensity’, ‘Architectural Intensity’, ‘Landscape Intensity’ and ‘Demographic Intensity’. It will be demonstrated and elucidated through four selected projects on display in the playful installation: the Espace Claude Monet in Rouen (2012), the Confluence Leisure and Shopping Center in Lyon (2012), the MUSE District in Metz (2018) and the NEO-Europea District in Brussels (2025).
