Aménagement Du Site Naturel Et Bâti "le Crêt-du-locle"
Sixth Prize
Crêt-du-Locle is a node within the macro-urban network in the Jura landscape, linked by its inter-dependent economical development. Crêt-du-Locle is a hinge that provides a flexible connection and a mode of communication between Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fonds. Crêt-du-Locle is a threshold that marks the portals to Le Locle and La Chaux-de-Fond. It precludes their agglomeration and homogenization and preserves their distinctiveness. Crêt-du-Locle is a precinct that is defined and self-supporting. It is able to sustain its existence without jeopardizing the resources of the future generation. Crêt-du-Locle is a micro-network in itself that works as a unit. It operates with the same precision of a time-measuring devise. Crêt-du-Locle is respectful to the landscape, but never timid of its existence.
