Summary:
Une figure routière est apparue et prolifère dans l'espace urbain français. On l'appelle «giratoire», ou plus communément «rond-point». Cet ouvrage propose de reconstituer une généalogie qui nous conduit d'abord au coeur des forêts de chasse et des jardins classiques, puis, via les embellissements du XVIIIe siècle et le Paris d'Haussmann, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe(...)

Summary:
Une figure routière est apparue et prolifère dans l'espace urbain français. On l'appelle «giratoire», ou plus communément «rond-point». Cet ouvrage propose de reconstituer une généalogie qui nous conduit d'abord au coeur des forêts de chasse et des jardins classiques, puis, via les embellissements du XVIIIe siècle et le Paris d'Haussmann, jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle-moment décisif où les inventeurs d'une nouvelle science nommée «urbanisme» (Cerdà, Sitte, Stubben) cherchent une solution aux conflits des voitures dans les carrefours urbains. Au moment où un véritable réseau de giratoires-balises tend à réorganiser l'espace urbain, des architectes, paysagistes et artistes se penchent sur cette pièce du vocabulaire territorial courant. Ainsi, au travers de nombreux projets présentés, se dessinent les voies d'une possible réinvention du rond-point comme dispositif d'articulation majeur de la matrice viaire contemporaine.
