CREATING OUR LIVING ENVIRONMENT

"Concept éco_temporain"
by Pavel LOMAKIN

This concept explores how we choose to live in the future, starting today. It’s about minimizing unnecessary waste, reducing material overuse, and focusing on reusability, beyond recycling. This structure embodies that vision.

Like a construction set, the project offers modular elements and objects that can be assembled according to individual needs and desires, creating a sustainable and adaptable living environment. Our lives and spaces evolve, just like stages in a play, adapting to our changing circumstances.

Inspired by scenography and product design, the project is both temporary and contemporary, eco-friendly, and reusable. Wooden structures serve as walls that separate and animate the space, accommodating useful objects—like apps on a smartphone. Everything can be personalized, without environmental impact, turning users into actors within their own spaces, which adapt to their needs and accompany them into the future. 

To the future. Today.

PROMOTING PROSPERITY ON OUR PLANET

"La Mère des Eaux"
by Garance BOUCHER

In the heart of the Sainte-Beaume mountain range, hikers can take refuge in one of the massif's former ice houses. On a peri-urban hike up the Huveaune river to its source, they will be able to observe and discover the area before reaching the refuge. Water is a sensitive issue in the region, and many infrastructures have been built to compensate for its lack.

But should we rethink our access to this resource, or rethink our needs in terms of the territory? This is what I propose to experiment with through this habitat. Lightweight wooden architecture puts water-related uses at the heart of our activities, and invites us to question our current habits and lifestyles.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

"The secret"
by Julie WEINBERGER

The secret, they say, is what you don't say.
In the old days, we hid salt in a safe. Because to protect a secret is also to hide it. But today, how can we evoke the idea of a secret in an object?
When we talk about secrets, we're talking about the boundary between the knower and the unknower. This boundary is clear-cut, but also fragile, and its rupture is irreversible.
Here, the project is anchored in a symbolic, manifest interpretation. Under the prism of a seat, secrecy is contained and protected.

"Maison-Tissé"
by Alicia BEROUARD

La Maison-Tissé, an old Lyonnais building nestled in the heart of a hanging garden in the Croix-Rousse, a former silk suburb, welcomes travelers and local residents with a passion for materials and living things.

Rethinking hospitality as another experience, where emotions and sensations weave a sensitive journey to the heart of the local cultural and artistic heritage.

A stopover on a journey that invites discovery and inspiration around artistic and culinary creations. A space-time interlude, it shapes another dynamic, in harmony with its environment, nature, history and local crafts.
