Presentation
Working on the habitat invites us to start from the most intimate experience of the body in order to invent, step by step, our living spaces, our neighbourhoods and our territories, forging the future forms of habitability.
Faced with the challenges of transition, the habitat finds its full political scope, that of the possibility of a habitable world. It raises the question of our presence in the world, of our forms of coexistence with others and with the living.
From this perspective, designing the habitat of tomorrow means placing the housing project in three horizons that allow us to critically question the inherited forms of domestic life:
- The first is that of inhabiting, of the singular and manipulative use of the world where our routines and attachments are forged. The habitat is here both a condition of anchorage and emancipation.
- The second is that of hospitality. The habitat is here the interface of our relationship with the other, human and non-human. It is a condition of welcome and care for the vulnerable, of care.
- Finally, the third is that of the common. The habitat is the place where we reinvent our neighbourhoods with others and with the living, a condition for new coexistence. The challenge is to rethink the shape of our cities and our territories from the inside, starting from the membranes that protect us and open us up to the world. The housing project here brings together social thinking – linked to the differentiation of lifestyles and singular uses – and architectural thinking – linked to the composition of the plan, and to spatial, constructive and material qualities.
In the end, working on the habitat means finding the forms to make possible a fairer, more open, freer, more socially and spatially virtuous world of tomorrow, in an ecology of human relationships.
