The city cannot spread indefinitely. Consequences on the environment and on inhabitants are getting worse. Changing the housing mode will be the laboratory for years to come.

Which alternatives can be proposed to the suburban individual villa and to collective dwelling considering the current densification of their towns and neighbourhoods? How to give priority to the inhabitant’s creative behaviour to reinvent new ways of living? What kind of new shapes can we develop at the scale of the module, the building, the block, the street, the public space and the districts? How can we adapt them to their built and natural environment by proposing new and experimental shapes? How arouse the will of living together, in a dense housing, and adapt the new way of living: families, functions, work conditions, shared spaces? How can we propose flexible spaces: modularity, reversibility, constructive and evolving systems ? How to translate an energetic transition process adapted to Mediterranean way of life?

These propositions will be studied on subsequently selected city centre sites afterword. It will able them to be part of new projects like regeneration projects. The most important part will be only for creativity by emancipating ourselves from standards and controls.
