DESCRIPTION:Simon Teyssou\nPublic spaces and architecture as manifestation
 s of a territory\nSimon Teyssou\n\nHow are built forms a manifestation of 
 the environment in which they are embedded? By their morphologies\, the as
 sembly of their materials\, their degrees of openness\, their relationship
  to the landscape and ground\, buildings and public spaces have the power 
 to reveal the specificities of a territory. Through the presentation of se
 veral build projects carried out in the bio-region of the Massif Central i
 n France\, the speak will deal with the local dimension of publics spaces 
 and buildings and with their capacity to carry out more global themes whic
 h animate the reflection of the Rouget workshop.\n\nAbout Urban & Enviro
 nmental Theory Session\nOrganized in the framework of the MAS in Urban an
 d Territorial Design\, the sessions see invited guests address the theme o
 f the semester: “Counterprojects of Coexistence”. The sessions\, offer
 ing a combination of theoretical positions and professional design experie
 nce\, address the challenges of spatial\, social and energy transition t

 l transition\, each session sees the guests present their work followed by
  a moderated discussion together and with the audience.\n\nAbout speaker
