Whose Heritage, Whose Investment, Whose Sustainability? Multi-actor Dynamics Around Green Space in Late-Modernist Residential Developments (Bordeaux, France)

Résumé

This paper presents research into tensions between private and public land ownership in light of debates about heritage architecture and urban sustainability. The project studied challenges faced by owner-occupants of two residential developments built around 1970 in greater Bordeaux, that are regarded as distinguished examples of late modernist residential architecture: the Hameau de Noailles (Salier, Courtois, Lajus and Sadirac, 1968-1973) in Talence, consisting of 40 semi-detached patio houses and 140 apartment units sharing a pool, tennis courts and green space; and Pontet-Lamartine (Pierre Calmon, AUA 33, 1970-71) in Pessac, consisting of 32 terraced patio houses and 80 apartment units sharing a tennis court and green space. The French word "patrimoine" is polysemic, meaning both heritage and estate in the sense of capital. Our research shows that both individually and collectively through the homeowners' association, the residents of these mini-neighborhoods may be torn between the cultural value of their property and its value as a long term investment. Contemporary injunctions about sustainable maintenance and renovation aggravate tensions along this axis and amongst homeowners in the co-property structure. The challenge is to adapt these examples of late modernist architecture and urbanism to expectations regarding sustainable development and lifestyles while preserving their qualities as "patrimoine". After a summary presentation of the research corpus, methodology and results, the paper focuses on the articulation between each development's inherent urban qualities and the broader local community's needs and desires. An important issue faced in both cases was how the co-property's quality common outdoor spaces might contribute to the larger area's sustainability performance, in terms of ground permeability, biodiversity, soft mobility and usable green space. This results in tension between diverse actors including individual homeowners, the homeowner association, and municipal authorities. The paper will explore the shifting articulations between the case for architectural heritage, homeowner interests, and urban community life under pressure of sustainability injunctions.
