Résumé
This article aims at discussing the role of atmospheres in recent French urban renewal operations, mostly focused on the demolition of the "grands ensembles", large housing units built from the 50's until the end of the 60's. Along with the economic and technical reasons that might imply those spectacular operations, the need to change the image or the ambiance of a neighbourhood or of a city is frequently called as an argument to defend them. By comparing different cases of urban renewal implying either demolition or conservation of the built environment, I propose to show, at the opposite, how demolition turns to be a negation of the ambiantal awareness, and how ambiances can become an operative concept, not to be merely opposed to demolition, but to be considered as a decision-making tool for re-shaping of the built environment.
