Between common identity and local particularities

Towns, villages and hamlets are designed from three structural elements: the road network, the buildings, and the plant network. They are witnesses to the built characteristics of this territory and its ways of living organized around:
– from the relationship to the street and the location of the building to the alignment, more or less continuous, with the “front” space, called “courtyard side” and the “rear” space, called “backyard ", 
– urban fronts guided by the viticultural and plant framework, 
– public spaces linked to the layout of roads, religious buildings and buildings.

The street, around which the layout of the buildings is structured, the water, an element of the built framework, the central public square in the hearts of the villages and a palette of plant atmospheres punctuating the mineral, are all elements of identity of these villages.
