GSD Studio Report with Michel Desvigne and Inessa Hansch

The Barracks of Pion: Developing the Edge of the Park of Versailles is a Studio Report from the Spring 2015 semester at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Versailles is often considered the site of invention of the classical city. Strikingly, the shapes of the city respond to those of the park. This link between geography, agrarian structures, and urban forms is an extraordinary reference for the contemporary city. This spring 2015 studio focused on a site adjacent to the park-former military barracks, where the city is planning to develop a new neighborhood. At the center of this study was the construction of peri-urban areas, their inclusion in an agricultural territory, the deciphering and transposition of historical traces, and the invention of urban forms in relation to the creation of public spaces across the landscape.

The Dix Park Master Plan

In 2017, the City of Raleigh and Dix Park Conservancy launched an ambitious effort to create one of America’s next great public parks through a comprehensive master planning process. Led by MVVA, Inc., the project engaged more than 65,000 residents in shaping the park’s future. The resulting Dix Park Master Plan was adopted by Raleigh City Council in 2019, establishing the vision and framework for Phase 1 implementation (Gipson Play Plaza).
