<p>There is more to understanding a city than meets the eye, especially when one considers the complexity of a sprawling metropolis built upon layer after successive layer of history. This book looks closely at the traces left over time, how a city accumulates, how one strata is superimposed on top of another, how one historical layer interrupts another, how the metropolis resurges, reinvents itself, rises, divides and grows. The rapid pace of urbanization in modern times leaves its own particular trace on land by the sheer volume of construction, the different modes of execution and the evolution of new technical building methods. This book benefits from a historical approach. It draws from geography, cartography, architectural analysis, drawings and sketches, and finally, observation of our changing lifestyles and evolving urban needs.</p>
<p>La connaissance et la compréhension d une ville ne forcent pas l évidence, notamment pour les métropoles étendues marquées de strates historiques successives. Une première phase d observation permet d identifier les différences : tracés qui s additionnent, se superposent, s interrompent et ressurgissent, bâti qui se renouvelle et s étend au gré d une lente densification par excroissance, surélévation, découpage et comblement. L urbanisation accélérée de la période contemporaine marque encore plus radicalement le paysage par le volume des constructions, le mode d implantation et les techniques utilisées. Pour aller plus loin, il convient d élaborer une connaissance d investigation en mêlant l approche historique, la géographie, le travail cartographique, l analyse architecturale, l observation constructive et celle des modes de vie. En affirmant l importance du dessin comme un moyen de comprendre et de rendre sensible.</p>
