'Playground for all'
Eocity brings populated areas and wind turbines together. All while preserving our countryside, it integrates into the urban and rural areas to provide a source of energy which is clean, aesthetic and affordable.
This project is a conduit for the democratisation of green energy production. It’s also perfect for companies as well as private individuals (well-off or not), both in megacities and isolated hamlets.
12 years ago architects Rene and Kristina started an initiative for treating the city with acupuncture, in the belief that urban space can be successfully regenerated with small interventions placed on the right spots. This resulted in numerous realizations like bicycles that illuminate the riverbank, a playground in the middle of an illegal parking lot, living room in an elementary school... Their lively experience has inspired institutional and NGO activities, locally and internationally.
To respond to the urgent need to build affordable housing in large numbers, Vilogia, historic social landlord of the North of France, was inspired by what the brilliant engineer and architect Jean Prouvé had thought before everyone else: to build houses like we build cars. Two metal pavilions were built as prototypes and demonstrate that industrial design can be beautiful, affordable and sustainable.

Can’t we give our trees a hand?
NESSI contributes to the saving of urban greens tackling the draught of city trees with an irrigation system on pavements that makes use of the existing infrastructure of hydrants.
From the hydrant, water is automatically directed through NESSI's pipe under the pavement to the trees, watering city trees with small water reservoirs regularly. At the trees, NESSI pops up with colorful steel pipe objects that offer different usage possibilities for residents.
This book is for people who want to make homes within Earth’s limits in their personal or professional lives. It proposes 'Oikology – Home ecologics' as a field of knowledge and practice to meet critical challenges of climate change and social segregation. It provides hands-on advice akin to that offered in home economics classes, through speculative scenarios, a set of cruxes to be bounced into the planning process, methods for transdisciplinary co-creation and 29 recipes for home making.

In 2016, Seine-Saint-Denis Habitat experimented reusing concrete construction to prove that there is a material recovery process for major urban renewal projects.
Four structures were created through the re-use of concrete resulting from the demolition of two social housing builded from the 1960s (a flooring, landscaping or retaining walls and a small construction). The project analysed the technical, economic, environmental and social relevance of this constructive process.
