Red thread-red bar is a series of participative urban interventions resulting from a four-month architecture residency in the former industrial town of Haubourdin.<\/p>\n

The residency aimed to establish a connection between residents and the Ferme du Bocquiau<\/a>, a future cultural center.<\/p>\n

This connection has been symbolically represented by a red line installed throughout the city, echoing the traditional red and white striped walls of the heritage building. The walls of this building were built in the fourteenth century using a method, unique to the area, which alternated layers of red bricks and white chalk stripes. This method, called Rouge-Barre (or ‘Red-Bar’), gave its name to this project.<\/span><\/p>\n

The installation forms a visual link between the Ferme du Bocquiau, and the different areas of the city, which are disconnected from each other like independent islands. It also symbolises the human link formed by the inhabitants’ sense of conviviality and sharing, as well as the link that has been formed through their coming together as part of this project to make the red thread.<\/p>\n
