Summary:
Trois décennies d’engagement au service de la collectivité: c’est en ces termes qu’on pourrait qualifier l’action publique de Jean-Pierre Dresco, envisagée comme le reflet d’une période où toute une génération d’architectes remet progressivement en cause les bienfaits du progrès et de la modernité et envisage son métier essentiellement sous un angle éthique, social et économique. Cet ouvrage collectif s’attache à retracer les principaux moments qui ont balisé sa longue carrière, tout en mettant l’accent sur la période comprise entre 1972 et 1998 où il est architecte cantonal du Canton de Vaud. On assiste alors à l’émergence «d’une ère nouvelle cadrée dans une perspective culturelle», en phase avec les multiples enjeux de l’époque, qui s’avère pourtant moins complexe que l’actuelle, comme il en ressort d’un dialogue entre l’ancien et le présent architecte cantonal. Adepte des vertus de la pluridisciplinarité, Jean-Pierre Dresco a, tout au long de son activité dans la fonction publique, porté un regard d’architecte sur les choses. En effet, intimement convaincu de la nécessité d’instaurer ce qui fait «lien» avec les autres, tant au niveau professionnel qu’avec le public, il n’a pas pour autant perdu l’intérêt pour l’art sous ses formes les plus exigeantes: l’art de bâtir, l’art de restaurer, l’art tout court.

On the one hand, this book explores the proactive value of wild landscapes to improve urban quality, in contemporary terms of beauty, health, and livability; on the other hand, it quesitons the risks of 'wild' as a buzzword that renews anti-urban positions or feeds practices and policies of consensual and cheap-plaudit 'greenery'. The aim is to account for the variety of readings raised by the urban wilderness, which continue to find their discriminating element in the restless relationship between city and nature.
