Capitalize on innovative architectural, urban and landscape approaches
The transition of our development model to a carbon-neutral society, one that is more resilient, more just and more inclusive, requires today to use practices that are rooted in the realities of the field and that listen to the people.
Evidence by 7 has built a contributory platform “The Field School” which recounts and documents in a chosen way singular projects and approaches, which have enabled, through experimentation, the implementation of new ways of doing things in architecture, urban planning and landscape.

An experimental approach to urban planning, architecture and landscaping
Evidence by 7, initiated by Patrick Bouchain, aims to resolve complex local situations by intervening other than in the usual framework of architectural or urban public order. Thus, Evidence by 7 promotes project tools capable of renewing territorial action and supporting architecture and sustainable urban planning initiatives.
Initially the number 7 indicated seven intervention scales: the village, the town, the town, the suburban commune, the regional metropolis, the disused public building and the overseas territory.
Evidence by 7 is therefore a laboratory of public and citizen innovations to support communities and civil society actors in their projects.
The team of Evidence by 7 works alongside associated project partners to:
- Promote “territorial and architectural permanence” as a way of anchoring on the ground: sustainably occupying a project site, taking into account intermediate temporalities to conduct an open programming work, built with users;
- Bring together a trio of actors: civil society/ operator/ elected representatives around a social issue and urban planning: health, education, culture, food, etc. to respond in a concrete and transversal way;
- Mobilize and involve the various decentralized services of the State to experiment in public action;
- Promote the re-employment of the already existing;
- Claim a right to experiment through innovative arrangements (regulatory, legal, financial and usage).
In parallel, the EFF&T Chair Experiment, Make, Manufacture and Transmit - Proof by Seven and Circular Economies of Architecture» carried out by the Ensa Paris-La Villette, labeled and agreed on July 2, 2020 by the Ministry of Culture, aims to capitalize on innovative actions in architecture particularly on construction dynamics and to transmit know-how.do architectural jobs in the context of the emergence of the circular economy.
