After the closure of the mines, the area, due to its scenic qualities, became increasingly popular with visitors. Now the Dark Line is a part of the tourism infrastructure emphasising the area's industrial heritage. The Dark Line is a generous, confident and yet careful intervention that materialises through a sequence of uniquely moulded rebars. The choice of the material fits the postindustrial site and handles all topographical anatomies, the site's historical charge and its purpose seemingly effortlessly. Complementing the lush green vegetation, the dark brown steel carries a dense atmosphere along the former railway and beautifully balances the transitional character of this space with a sequence of ambiences where one can stop, rest and observe. From a phenomenological perspective, the rebars are, essentially, materialised cross-sections that outline the elements such as fences, benches, and pavement. Elements are described by shaping the rebars as if they exist only through a series of descriptions. Besides the well-crafted material, the jury appreciates how masterfully the designers embraced and responded to simple spatial facts that often go ignored in landscape architecture, those concerning the shifting conditions of light, surrounding vegetation, morphology and cultural memory. The jury finds the Dark Line project as a sublime intervention that respects the local ecology and greatly enriches the site's functional, historical and aesthetical dimensions with incredible charisma and grace. ]]> https://landezine.com/the-dark-line-by-michelemiquel-and-da-vision-design/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/banks-of-the-allier-river-moulins-by-base/ https://landezine.com/banks-of-the-allier-river-moulins-by-base/#respond Mon, 19 Jun 2023 10:09:44 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=95213 The Allier river carries the wild values of the great geographical forces, the powerful landscape, of which we all dream.

The simplicity of the circle is challenged by the playful displacement of the logs and by orientation. The elegance of the shape is contrasted by the rough treatment of the surface of the logs. Furthermore, there is an ambiguous relation between the Fire Ring having a public or private feel. In this regard, the jury appreciated the scale, being too large for groups to claim it for private use and too small to lose the sense of 'togetherness'. In terms of the overall attitude that shaped this object, and in the words of the designer, the Fire Ring transcends» one's own body, local culture and global lifestyles«.
