As the soul of the group ofarchitects who were involved in this project, she fascinated people with her creative power and continued the resort’s architectural form which was established at its creation.

The legendary and atypical destination of les Arcs faces Mont Blanc and overlooks theUpper Tarentaise Valley. With its impudent, modern and imaginative style, it has been able to create its own identity combiningaltitude, freeski, fun, creativity andinnovation.

HiSTorY

1968 : ModeRNITy WoRKING oN BehALFoF NATURe Creating a ski resort out of nothing and constructing a setting that is functional and aesthetically pleasing and fulfil is the needs of this new growth in tourism is in itself anexciting project. The developer, Roger Godino and the young team of architects who worked on les Arcsresolutely aligned their project withmodernity. Contrary to the opinion of some detractors who saw in it a desire to « concrete over the mountains », under the benevolent authority of Charlotte Perriand, this intensely creative period was intended to work for the conservation of nature.

ChARLoTTe PeRRIANd ,A WoMAN oF CReATIoNCharlotte Perriand is a very well knownarchitect and designer in France.she worked on the building of the various sectors of Les Arcs for nearly 20 years. she was the soul of the group of architects who were fascinated by her creative power. Through keeping the group together andpreventing them from drifting it is surely thanks to her that the architectural linedefined at the outset endured throughout the construction of all the sectors. her concept of functionality, the « right move », practical shape, simple beauty withoutdesign and without added decoration, was to inspire a style of architecture conceived from the inside working outwards. By making these young architects start by putting themselves in the visitors’ shoes she overturned their professional reflexes and pushed them to go beyond the usual boundaries between town planning.

her work in Les Arcs is particularlyrecognisable for : • The raised balconies allowing light to flood into the apartments and to provide a wider outlook on the view • The work on the furnishings, every piece of which was conceived and designed byCharlotte Perriand • The innovative technical solutions such as the resin bathrooms made in a single block to minimise time and costs. An unknown process at the time ! • The integral kitchens opening onto the living area. Almost standard today, they were a real revolution 45 years ago ! • The work on the buildings’ gangways, given life by the solid colours of the wood and the lighting.

In 1927, Charlotte Perriand began acollaboration with Pierre jeanneret and his cousin Charles-edouard jeanneret-Gris,better known under the name of Le Corbusier, which was to last for 10 years. Le Corbusier was not slow to include her in his agency’s team putting her in charge of fitting outaccommodation. Le Corbusier’sarchitectural œuvre, consisting of 17 sites in7 different countries, was included in UNesCo’s World heritage in 2016.

GUIded ToURs oR hoW To exPLoRe The ARChITeCTURe oF Les ARCsProof that modernity can compromise with the mountains, nature and the town, the conglomerations of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800 were awarded the « 20th Century heritage » label in 2006. The Les Arcs Tourist officeorganises free guided tours to explore the architecture of Les Arcs. every week a guide offers visitors a guided walk round the various parts of the resort.

THe HolidAY oF THe FuTure

To maintain Les Arcs’ architectural principles, a survey into the holiday of the future for visitors to Les Arcs is being carried out in conjunction with young architects,teacher-researchers, artists and designersinvolved in research work and united under the banner « Agence Arcadienne ».The make-up of the Agence Arcadienne is supple and elastic to reflect the needs of its projects. The hard core comprises members of the ecole supérieure d’Art del’Agglomération d’Annecy et des Pays desavoie (esAAA) (Greater Annecy and the savoie Region higher school of Art) and the ecole supérieure d’Art et design desaint-etienne (esAdse)(saint-etienne higher school of Art and design). The Agency is linked to other researchprojects involving higher schools of art in the region, modernist architects and innovation.Its composition is flexible and elastic to meet the needs of each project : research cell,design cell, operational cell.

• The research cell : The aim of the research programme is to rethink the perception of mountain holidays in Les Arcs : livingconditions, practices and leisure and tosuggest some predicted scenarios connected to these themes. staying in an apartmentbuilding on site enables forecasts and concepts to be studied on the ground.• Design cell : This project enabled requests for designs and creations to be fulfilled through the involvement of two artists,designers/teachers with a view to giving shape to ideas thought up during time spent in the research cell’s building.• Operational cell : the last of the three cells project-manages property renovation projects

The different work themes tackled during periods spent in the residence :2013 : research into the transformation of the les Arcs cell2014 : research into scenarios involvingrenovating the interiors of les Arcs’ studios2015 : local workshop into public areas in les Arcs and client experience in the area2016 : research into consequences andpossible redevelopment due to climate change : the case of Arc 2000
