B???timent abandonn???, ruine moderne, fant???me urbain, squelette immobilier, structure d???saffect???e... Une vari???t??? d'appellations pour tenter de circonscrire, au moins par les mots, le ph???nom???ne d'abandon de fragments entiers de villes. Cet abandon, qu'il soit partiel ou total, temporaire ou durable, est examin??? ici au prisme du ??? potentiel ??? que pourrait repr???senter la survivance de ces structures. Ciblant 12 ???tudes de cas, cette premi???re ???dition des Cahiers du Laboratoire d'???tude de l'Architecture Potentielle (LEAP) convoque autour de cette th???matique la discipline architecturale, l'histoire de l'art et la s???miotique. De Montr???al ??? Berlin, de D???troit ??? Turin, la vari???t??? des contributions est organis???e autour de quatre tensions interrogeant le statut de ces structures (monumentalit???/monument), leur ???chelle (architecture/urbanisme), les figures qu'elles cristallisent (utopie/ruine) et les imaginaires qui s'y d???veloppent (r???sistances/potentiels). Les auteurs le montrent: les grandes structures urbaines abandonn???es, loin d'???tre condamn???es ??? l'inertie, sont des vecteurs de m???moire collective, de projets potentiels, d'imaginaires multiples, mais aussi de r??????valuation critique de nos soci???t???s contemporaines. D???s lors, la grande structure urbaine abandonn???e ne peut plus seulement ???tre du ressort de l'???conomie ou de la planification fonci???re: l'entrelacement complexe des dimensions mat???rielles, techniques, sociales et culturelles la constituant invite les architectes ??? investir les r???flexions portant sur sa survivance. Abandoned building, modern ruin, urban ghost, skeleton property, deserted structure ... these are some of the words used in an attempt to circumscribe the phenomenon of abandoned city fragments. This abandonment, whether partial or total, temporary or long-term, is examined through the "potential" that the survival of these structures would offer. This first edition of the LEAP Research Notebooks gathers 12 case studies, each structured around a common theme in the disciplines of architecture, art history, and semiotics. From Montreal to Berlin, from Detroit to Turin, the various contributions are structured around four tensions calling into question the status of these structures (monumental / monument), their scale (architectural / city planning), the figures they materialize (utopia / ruin) and the poetics they embody (resistance / potential). As revealed by the authors, these large abandoned urban structures are far from being inert. Not only are they vectors of a collective memory, of potential projects, of multiple imaginations, but they also act as a trigger for a critical re-evaluation of our contemporary societies. Therefore, the large abandoned structure cannot be restricted to the fields of economy or land planning: such complex interweaving of material, technical, social and cultural dimensions calls for architects to reflect on its survival.
