What if the future of landscapes was decided by the care we take in looking at them, understanding them and grasping them as a place of dialogue?
This is the hypothesis that runs throughout this book. Here, the sketchbook, a modest technology, does more than simply bear the trace of a past experience. It constitutes the beginning of a journey that questions both history and the sometimes complex transformations that await our landscapes. These notebooks present themselves as a wandering survey, from the most anthropized to the wildest of sites. From the roads of North America to the folds of the Massif Central, from the Normandy coast to the Marais Poitevin: beyond the multiple crossings, a central requirement emerges: that of rediscovering the taste for direct contact with the world.
"Drawing is a way of entering into a very close, and unique, relationship with those who populate and create the landscape. They speak to me, behind each line. And I speak to them, in turn, directly or indirectly when I practice my profession."
