Abstract

The tanneries of Barjols: a space built by reinventing The spectacle of abandoned factories is a fairly common phenomenon, the old factories reduced to empty containers become places of memory, evidence of intense and sheer hard work, which for centuries has involved generations, distorted and modified through the initiatives of individuals, the environment and the territory. Although apparently they all look alike, on closer inspection they reveal different realities starting in the places in which they live, their winds along the water supply sources and their planimetric and typological development and who do not respond to the same quantitative and qualitative parameters. Certainly these buildings define and confer, with their silhouettes, the identity of a territory. The case examined has focused attention on the reality of a post-industrial town in the central Provence where the activities of Tanneries have influenced over a long period of time the life and choices of a population. Faced with this scenario, composed of disturbing manufacts abandoned, but still present and very close to the heart of the local people, one wonders what will be their future, we will investigate the measures taken and what the intentions are planned with a view to sustainability global.
