Sols vivants

Agence Ter Projects - Green urban ecosystems, bioclimatically effective public spaces, parks and neighborhoods designed as hydraulic machines, forest cities and urban terroirs - Agence Ter has been experimenting with the urban design of living spaces and dens for more than 30 years climatic potentials created by landscape projects.

Winners of the French State Prize for Urban Design in 2018, the three founding partners of Agence Ter and their collaborators present an exhibition, a manifesto showing how living soils can become the fundamental concept for urban resilience. The cut is the central medium of the exhibition. He can make the complexity of a place legible in all its dimensions, from the visible and invisible layers of the subsoil to the biosphere.

In Agence Ter's projects, it is often developed before the site plan. As a symbol for the horizon, it refers to the spatial dimension in the profession of landscape architect. In the exhibition, it is overlaid with film sequences and thus brought to life as a “living cut”.
