ODYSSEE Information

Our MISSION is to reconcile the human system with the natural system. HOW? > Systemic Territorial Design: Starting from the living landscape and bringing a holistic perspective (= transcalary + transdisciplinary) on the territory to define another paradigm reconciling human and natural systems. Odyssée is a young urban planning agency (www.odyssee.co), which hybridizes the classical and sensitive skills of urban planning and design, with the hard skills of data sciences, material technology and energy. This mix of skills allows us to take a holistic look at the territory, and to work on the systemic weaving of the different functions of territorial metabolism. Our TEAM brings together a mosaic of talents, mixing their respective expertise forged by years of field practice and based on the recognition of our peers. Our approach combines project and academic research, to bring a vision of progress through knowledge for the common good. Our WORK is built through continuous exchange and interaction with our scientific committee. Odyssée's activity is structured around three key actions: Observation & Analysis, Design & Interaction, Engagement & Implementation. We intervene transversally on project architecture and strategy, as well as vertically on design and field deployment. Immersed in the heart of the project territories, we co-construct new answers with the field actors, activating local networks for in-situ deployments. Our APPROACH is based on creativity, the common denominator of nature, not to innovate, but to invent the alternatives that are needed today.
