La Source Vive: a new concert hall in Evian.
The result of a collaboration between architects Patrick Bouchain and Philippe Chiambaretta, La Source Vive is the result of an approach that combines sensitivity and science: its conch-shaped volume is the result of the search for exceptional acoustics and the desire to blend into a remarkable and preserved landscape.
Open to its territory, the project driven by Aline Foriel-Destezet is housed by the Évian Resort, in the immediate vicinity of La Grange au Lac. The two facilities complement each other and will be brought together within the same institution. They will offer a varied and continuous programme throughout the year, under the artistic direction of Renaud Capuçon.

In France, the construction sector accounts for one third of the country’s CO2 emissions. Materials, which are partly responsible for this ratio, are extracted, transported, processed, poured or placed, dumped or incinerated… All these steps are opportunities to work on limiting impacts, involving architects, among other things, in deploying a new aesthetic.

"The Anthropocene is above all a change in the condition of the Earth, but the fact that we have changed the condition of the Earth implies a change in the human condition. The profound message of the Anthropocene, in addition to its geological resonance, is deeply political: it is the idea that we can no longer conceive of the Earth and the world as two independent entities." Interview with François Gemenne, geopolitical researcher, specialist in geopolitical issues of the environment and co-author of the Atlas of the Anthropocene, published in the Catalogue of the exhibition Champs-Élysées, Histoires et Perspectives at Pavillon de L'Arsenal in 2020.

Inviting to exceed the logics of separation or domination of the modern project, the Anthropocene impacts the contemporary art, reviving notably ecofeminist practices, which for Tara Londi, take source in the feminist avant-gardes of the years 1960-1970. The criticism of the capitalist exploitation of nature thus joins that of patriarchal oppression. By revealing the unspoken history of women, indigenous people or animals, beyond visual and linguistic rationalism, the artists mentioned by Tara Londi revive animist and holistic visions of the world.
Among them: Donna Huanca, Charwei Tsai, Romana Londi, Jesse Jones, Marguerite Humeau, Ana Mendieta, Suzanne Husky, Zadie Xa, Mathilde Rosier

The star of the stage of the september 2022 Design Week in Paris, plastic seems to have moved beyond the disdain it had been experiencing lately. Thanks to recycling, its environmental footprint is now better controlled, which has turned into a real selling point. But beyond the material itself, it is an entire production logic that should be "recycled" to extricate ourselves from the dogma of newness and disposability.
