What Light Can a School Project Shed on Politics?
What Light Can a School Project Shed on Politics?

Summary/Abstract: The subject that we shall endeavor to develop concerns the relations between the urban project and politics. On the one hand this constitutes one of our recurring interests linked to school projects at ENSA Versailles, that we have programmatically developed into a multiyear research project; on the other hand, the theoretical question in itself requires not only thoughtful consideration, but also continuous reevaluation in relation to different or simply new circumstances that alter the meanings of both “project” and “politics.” As a consequence of this latter observation, we shall not press for an a-priori definition of the two main terms of the equation (they will be summoned further in the article), but instead – in order to tackle this topic in a different way – we suggest a method that departs from the design brief of a school project and the answers it engendered.
