Productive Habitats,
Deconstructing our world to create a new one to inhabit

How can we change our relationship to consumption within our habitats, at the scale of a city?

The objective is to identify the issues raised by the relationship to consumption that we currently maintain in our society. These questions lead us to ask whether other myths are possible in order to sustain different relationships with the world. The reflection will then focus on solutions to transform our relationship to consumption within our habitats. Architectural, theoretical, and urban case studies will be necessary. These case studies will then make it possible to propose a redefinition of the notions of habitat, systems of production, and the city. Redefining these notions will allow us to establish a theoretical framework for envisioning alternative relationships to consumption within our habitats.

The aim will then be to investigate the factors that could enable architects to create new typologies of habitat: typologies of productive habitats. We will then examine the dimensions of the means we employ to produce our resources. Finally, we will discuss the potential benefits that productive habitats could bring to the existing city.
