Unisson(s) movement has chosen to meet in the exceptional place of the Architecture to present the work of a first design thinking workshop that took place last November. Indeed, if awareness has spread in recent years, issues on the real implementation of measures in favor of low carbon remain. To try to answer this questions, Unisson(s) movement brought together players from design, construction, planning, landscaping and industry during a first brainstorming session on November 16.

Among the first conclusions of this workshop, we observe a real desire to integrate the RE2020 challenges in a holistic approach and to systematize the calculation of the carbon weight of the project.
