Creation of objects to integrate into a prototype of cooperative housing as part of the event « Lyon 2016, capitale de la terre ».

‍

The objective of this presentation was to formalize and exhibit an innovative work focused on the object, with a dual perspective: on one hand, its integration within the framework of the Terra 2016 World Congress, focusing on the theme "Living together - Doing together," and on the other hand, its role within the Terra Nostra cooperative housing prototype, designed by students from the National Schools of Architecture of Grenoble and Lyon.

This design project was part of an educational approach encompassing awareness-raising issues for the general public regarding current housing challenges. It highlighted the use of bio-sourced materials, the environmental impact of our lifestyles on the planet, and the need to rethink our consumption behaviors to reduce this impact. The guiding theme of my approach was that of "Open Source Design," an approach aimed at democratizing design by providing the public with freely downloadable plans and drawings, thereby enabling everyone to create and customize objects or furniture without relying on a professional.

The main challenge was to design a range of open-source objects for the common spaces of a cooperative housing project. More specifically, it involved developing a library whose design and creation would be accessible to all through computer tools and new resources available in Fab Labs, such as laser cutters and 3D printers.

This project embodies an innovative approach to object design for shared spaces within a cooperative community, promoting active participation of each member in the creation and customization of their environment, while encouraging reflection on the ecological impact of our lifestyle choices.
