Design of Territories : place is the resource. Keen to contribute to improving the liveability of local "territories", a generation of young designers is re-using the tools of design to rethink the connections to places, nurture the ordinary, reintegrate the neglected and giving people the ability to act again. Brought together in the exhibition, these gestures and ways of doing things form the outline of a manifest for a generation that wants to spare the world more than develop it and be a resource for the places where we live and which provide us with our living.

Physical, political, symbolic, sensitive, natural as well as cultural, the territory - local area, district, region - encompasses and configures all the strata of our lives, providing the backdrop and the outline for our living environment and our habits. Meshing together an infinite number of networks and interactions that give it form and are informed by it, it is a driving force behind the processes as much as it is a product of them, both source and resource.
The perception of its central role is intensified as the world attempts to cut itself off from its reality: the deterritorialisation of production and trade, the unbridled movement of capital, goods and people are creating a general need for a "territory".
This exhibition is designed as a resource-space, a place for gleaning ideas and sharing focused on initiatives borne of a location-based design and that sketch out levers for action.
The projects presented were developed in the wake of the Design des Territoires programme run by the École des Arts Décoratifs – PSL and the French Ministry of Culture.
The exhibition meshes together six types of environment:
- coastal, in Trégor-Goëlo (Brittany)
- island, on Reunion Island
- mountain, in Livradois-Forez (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes)
- rural, in Périgord Vert (Nouvelle-Aquitaine)
- forest, in the Pays de Bitche (Grand Est)
- urban, in Greater Paris
