The transect is a tool borrowed from geographers. A hybridization between a technical cross-section and a sensitive route, it has many qualities that make it relevant to urban and architectural projects.
It consists in collecting, along a route, a maximum of sensitive data (narrative, sound recordings, photographs, videos, sketches...), to gather them and to represent them graphically. The document thus obtained is discussed during a "long table" gathering users, designers, researchers, in order to make emerge potential projects.
Within the framework of our research, we have chosen to apply it to the train station of Grenoble (France) and its immediate surroundings.
We question the station's sense of space from an architectural perspective and according to a precise problematic, centered on the nomadic work. We seek to understand how the station, a place of mobility, effervescence, in perpetual movement can become a work space, both by the design of equipment and furniture dedicated but also by the detour of use of other spaces.
This work is carried out by the CRESSON team of the AAU laboratory (UMR CNRS 1563), in collaboration with AREP, a multidisciplinary design office of the SNCF.
The "long table" phase of this transect will be proposed on the one hand to the designers of these places, on the other hand to the users and staff of the station.
Through this experimentation, we intend to demonstrate how this transect approach is essential to take into account the walk, the atmospheres, and story of the uses in the urban and architectural project in the places in perpetual movement that are the stations.
