Creating a rich ecosystem, a green oasis in Nanterre – La Défense, Nouvelle Vague exemplary housing programme designed by Maud Caubet has just been delivered. Inclusive and focused on the living, the program features high environmental performances and guarantees outdoor space for 70% of its housing units. A milestone for tomorrow’s projects?
“In my opinion, architectural gesture without quality of life and uses serves no purpose. This everyday comfort is largely due to the care taken in designing outdoor spaces for each of the residents, whatever shape they may have. The relationship with nature and living things is crucial! “explains Maud Caubet.
So many objects we possess are used only once a year, bought for a specific occasion (work, event, a sudden and fleeting passion…). Sharing instead of consuming is the alternative offered by objects libraries such as Manivelle in Switzerland or La Boutique du Partage in Nantes. A whole range of everyday life items are available for loan, just like books. Great initiatives to fight over-consumption and to put people and mutual help back at the centre of our lives while saving money and supporting circular economy.
We wish this movement to spread throughout Europe!
