Bruno Desachy et al., « Visualiser et interroger la composition urbaine par la chrono-chorématique », Presses universitaires François-Rabelais, ID : 10.4000/books.pufr.7693
Chrono-chorematics, based on Roger Brunet’s notion of “chorems”, is a method of visualizing spatial organization from a historical point of view. It breaks down the structures of urban space into its component parts in order to analyze the production of urban space. This article presents the origins of this pluridisciplinary method and the methodology of the urban chrono-chorematic workshop of the National Center for Urban Archaeology (CNAU-Centre national d’archéologie urbaine) (graphic language, timeline of a model of French urban development, moving from the general to the specific) and its epistemological issues. The modeling creates chorotypes and formalizes comparisons between cities and urban trajectories.
