HABITER UN MILIEU / BUILDING COMMUNITY
Autumn 2024
@ecole_speciale
What does it mean to live today? How has habitable space evolved and what will it become tomorrow? A house, an apartment, private, shared? We keep building, yet our living spaces barely change.
The “traditional home” still follows an outdated model: fixed rooms, fixed routines, fixed roles. But where do light, material, memory, and senses fit in? Our lives are fluid, our needs diverse, and the line between work and home has disappeared. Our spaces need to evolve.
Living now is also a responsibility to ourselves, to others, to the environment. Homes must be flexible, sustainable, and capable of adapting over time.
If the house is our intimate “body-self,” how do we design spaces where multiple “selves” meet and create community human and non-human alike?
In 2024, we explored these questions through a collective project on intermediate housing in Paris, with each student designing a dwelling within a shared framework while building a strong sense of community. These drawings reflect both the remarkable results and the tremendous effort my students put into their work.
