WorkSpace in progress: grounds for initiative

Wastelands, abandoned industrial sites and warehouses, areas that aren’t marked on any map of the city, relics of an industrial past that has vanished or been relocated: these are “no-go areas” that have so far escaped the property speculators and been taken over by artists.
Writers, artists and sculptors, designers working in every imaginable genre and architects are transforming these city interstices into spaces where everything and anything becomes possible, where they can experiment with new forms of artistic and social practice.

To describe the evolution of these Utopian spaces, here we present an interview with the architect, Patrick Bouchain, Grounds for initiative.
