Mille Plateaux is a multiplicitous stadium proposal that operates before the direct satisfaction of tight programmatic necessities and beyond the self-condescendence of design competence and strategical response. It by-passes both by engaging a broader systemic challenge at a pre-architectural level, simple in its principles and rich in its scalar effects, making its rules available to breed leisure potentials, territorial policies, and circulatory systems at the scale of the region, while transforming the everyday life and the physical conditions of the locals without formally prescribing them.

 

The competition brief is neither interpreted as a problem of building design nor is it treated as a single-minded question of civil and environmental engineering. The provision of an appropriate building receptacle for regular football events and/or sporadic spectacles, and the direct solution of immediate problems of performance is not accord to the magnitude of the opportunity. Wider and deeper effects at a mix of environmental, economic, material, and urban levels, as much as larger territorial conditions and opportunities are recognized and largely exploited.
