LIVING DIFFERENTLY
Habiter autrement proposes to explore other ways of living, more open, freer, more permissive. More or less radical, these houses, or rather should we say these places of life, use architecture to live differently.
These achievements have chosen to go beyond traditional organizations and morphologies, as well as classic rooms, to leave room for indeterminacy. This act of reinventing housing involves architecture and experimentation to design less formatted models. Unassigned spaces, mixing uses, open to imagination. The possibility of multiplying functions in the same place. How can architecture be the support of life, without restricting its freedom? This is the question asked by architects who venture off the beaten track. From a small, low-budget house to a luxurious villa: all scenarios can lend themselves to the game, provided there is the will to get out of classic thought patterns.
The book presents about twenty houses in the world by telling their story. Because the starting point is often a meeting between clients wishing to change paradigm and architects engaged in experimentation. Tool-houses that come to life and make sense with their users.
It gives a voice to architects and users, with shared perspectives nourished by an equally sociological approach to understanding these new ways of life that echo our times.
