Cohabitation Dome, a plant-growth care infrastructure

Vierzon (FR), 2022

A “ground zero” is never a “tabula rasa”. The starting point for a future Frac is crossed by a multiplicity of agents; insects, plants, climatic conditions, and soil have established certain relationships that are worth to be taken into account when designing any kind of architecture.  

Our “Dôme de co-habitation” floats over the soil that has allowed this ecosystem to inhabit the space, and incorporates a whole set of technologies to achieve the optimum conditions of comfort for these initial inhabitants.

Because we imagine a society supported by caring, that stands up for the weak, based on cooperation instead of competition and symbiosis instead of extractivism.
