Abstract
When OMA in 1987 designed the masterplan for Melun Senart, it decided to define just a clear system of voids, public spaces which allowed to keep a control on the ultimate form of the urban whole. Facing these empty axes, there was a multitude of building blocks where the designers deliberately surrendered to the unpredictability of the future development: the model made for the competition reflects this condition, showing a confused agglomeration of building, an accumulation of people, along with their lives and livelihoods, whose destiny was going to be uncertain.
