In La Grande Motte, the festival offers an urban course in the heart of Jean Balladur’s architecture, which caracterises this seaside town, recently approved “Heritage of the XXth Century”. In 2014, the Festival des Architectures Vives invested 8 sites in total with 7 installations + 1 pavilion.  Image Courtesy © Paul KOZLOWSKI Many works allow interaction with visitors. All of them take possession of the sites during the festival only. Leaving no physical trace, the festival seeks to make an impression, to initiate a global reflection on architecture and its development in existing urban context and finally, to create a dialogue between contemporary works and heritage. Mediators are present on each site. These mediators are students at the School of Architecture of Montpellier and they endeavour to strengthen appreciation of the works of the visitors. The event is free, this reflects the desire of opening architecture to the greatest number. FAV is organized by Elodie Nourrigat and Jacques Brion, architects in Montpellier.
