The Plateau de Saclay, has been over transformation during recent decades – especially in the last few years – with the arrival of higher-education institutions, several universities, public and private research institutions. The population who lives, visits, studies and works in this region is changing.

Over an intense period of 2.5 weeks, we will study how space (urban and rural) is transforming, and how people inhabit it. We will blend methodologies from different domains of social science, research and artistic practice, to document, uncover and understand individual and social experiences.

The final project will be a short video (all genres are welcome).
