HABITAT

Habitat makes up the majority of urban material. Therefore it’s a decisive factor in building the cities of tomorrow. The laboratory explores the home as the starting point for a life that is intimately collective and supportive, and explores territories from their domestic dimension.

THE HABITAT OF TOMORROW
Working on housing means finding ways to make tomorrow’s world fairer from a social and spatial point of view, while saving resources and building ecological human relationships. Changing housing means changing both the city and housing, and the laboratory is exploring this process.

SPACES AND USES
The laboratory sees housing as a meeting point between social dimensions – linked to lifestyles and uses – and dimensions strictly linked to the architectural discipline – linked to the composition of the plan, and to spatial, constructive and material qualities.

INTIMATE TERRITORIES
The laboratory places the habitat in a broader spectrum than that of housing.
The home is seen as a space and its uses stretched between the small and the large scale: between furniture and territory, the domestic scale and the urban scale, the body and the city, the short time of daily gestures and the long time of successive lives.
