| Summary: | The Chartrons neighbourhood of Bordeaux was traditionally occupied by wine merchants, and has a specific urban form of densely packed buildings called ‘chais’, wine cellars, which combine the noble commercial activities of the merchants and their more functional storage ones in single buildings. During the first half of the twentieth century, the neighbourhood went into decline, leaving many of the warehouses without any use. Since the mid-1980s, however, the neighbourhood is finding new life, thanks to the re-use of these long, neighbouring buildings. Since 1993 one particularly large area known as the ‘grand îlot’ has undergone an interesting operation of reconversion, operating at two levels, that of the city as a whole and that of the individual buildings, giving this ‘new’ neighbourhood its historical filiation. |
