Who knows the design paradox – you know, when you get the feeling that a hardware update is making it harder to use a device in the early days – won’t be surprised that the ODP doesn’t escape it point: it is by partnering with Intramuros that your agenda of design outings begins its extra-muros development, and now invites you to spontaneous escape far from the ring road. And not to mislead you, the international addresses are in color.
A new formula accompanied by an indecently summery weather conducive to the week’s arty afterworks.
Yes, the climate is changing and resources are becoming scarce…
Faced with these upheavals, the Biennial of architecture and landscape – the Bap! – promotes the sharing of knowledge and best practices around architecture, landscape and urban planning, in Île-de-France and around the world. It is to be discovered in the appointments of the week and in your section accessible directly here .
So enjoy and above all, take care!

One story, nine practices. Agile artifact generated by individual and collective experience, the object (the design) passes from one hand to another, it adapts, it is shared, it is regenerated. The work is (again) open – as Umberto Eco wished (Opera aperta, 1962)…

Since we’re talking about it
After “Man, nature and the city” theme of the Bap! 2019, the Ile-de-France Region is continuing its reflection this year with “Terre et Villes”.
The link between land and cities is considered in all its forms: landscape base, support of living things, nourishing lands, lands abounding in natural resources, circular development, earthen construction.
With nine exhibitions in prestigious places in the city of Versailles and curators with rich and varied backgrounds, conferences, debates, participatory workshops…, the Bap! is one of the major national meetings of 2022, bringing together the views of partners with multiple areas of expertise: local authorities and associated organizations, national higher education schools of architecture and landscape, national cultural establishments, planning establishments, giving a voice to professionals of construction, housing and landscape, academics, sociologists and artists.
Among the subjects to be discovered, you are exposed to a new look at soils and local resources, new practices for more resilient architecture and landscapes.
Complementary to the Resources exhibition at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, the “Element of Earth” exhibition reveals the links that unite the geographical base of the Ile-de-France, land use and land use to better understand how we anchor ourselves on this territory.
The “Visible, invisible” exhibition proposes to invent new terroirs through a material and energetic approach to environments. Deployed through the school of architecture and in the exceptional site of the Petite Ecurie, it is structured in three stages: a “monument” of material and energy resources constituting the soil of these inventions (stone, earth, wood, water, sun, wind…); a testimony of the ambitious practices at work in Île-de-France and elsewhere and a platform for sharing and experimentation to pursue this research together: it is also your turn to contribute to the invention of visible and invisible aesthetics of new terroirs , rich and conscious of their resources and their surroundings!
In the heart of the King’s kitchen garden, “La Préséance du vivant” invites us to reflect on our current relationship with nature, both joyful and profound.
A garden exhibition that offers a meeting, a weaving, between scientific knowledge and the poetic wonder of our relationships with others. It highlights the diversity of our relationships with the living and the richness of the beings who together inhabit this planet. You will be able to take part in the Potager du Roi in the planting of a collaborative garden: “Le Potager des autres”, and will also be able to discover how to take care of the soil in landscape projects with the exhibition “Projet(s)Terre(s) “, which presents the achievements of the students of the school.
And if you had to dig a little deeper under this earth, “The Grand Paris Express pavilion” presents an immersive exhibition dedicated to the new metro and its urban, architectural and environmental ambition: the largest urban project in Europe designed by the Société du Grand Paris and Dominique Perrault. At the heart of the pavilion, the history of the Paris metro, its construction sites, its tunnels, the new stations and the trains parade through 360 degrees through a film retracing this urban adventure.
Enough to promote the Greater Paris project, both a showcase of French and European know-how in terms of architecture, mobility, urban planning and culture, and a symbol of the transformations underway in the major cities.
A discovery of urban changes and ecological opportunities generated by the metro, such as the recovery of soil excavated during the digging of tunnels, and the architectural projects of stations illustrated through a selection of models and interviews with the designers of the project.
Through the Bap!, it is therefore the challenge of the urban planners of the 21st century: to build taking into account global warming, pollution, galloping urbanization or even the lack of cultivable land, which is visible.
But how do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you come from?
Take advantage of your stay in Versailles to immerse yourself in plans and drawings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, illustrating realistic or utopian architectural projects imagined for the Palace of Versailles, which allow, according to Élisabeth Maisonnier, curator at the Palace, to “Looking with another eye at the current monument, symbol of our heritage, which seems immutable and frozen in time. Confronting these dreams with reality is of interest to all audiences, especially since the drawings chosen were chosen for their own interest, of course, but also for their beauty, elegance and originality.
