At Marseille's Cité Radieuse, we were asked to rethink Le Corbusier's utopia, with the aim of revitalising this very special collective habitat.
LUN is a place, like a school, to learn to become ecologically independant. This spot intrinsically mixes three principles :
#1 angular principle
#2 wavy principle
#3 sinuous principle
Those principles embody the architectural notion of Le Corbusier, combining rigor and fonctionality like the nested modules that makes the building (angular principle) ; and the use of nature elements like the human body with the modulor or again the sun and the wind (wavy and sinuous principle).
It is a place of experimentation, exploration and sharing. This third place proposes a way of living, that is both self-sufficient and "ecosophical". It accompanies ongoing initiatives such as Marseille en Transition, Le Talus and the Low Tech Lab.
The program assiduously seeks to motivate action by doing, transforming our "passive affects" into "active affects" according to Arne Naess ; thus increasing our powers to act as individuals within a community. The goal is to free ourselves from this "ecological confinement" of which Bruno Latour speaks.
Not wanting to touch the very structure of this architectural work from a patrimonial point of view, this is a set of custom furnitures that structures and builds the space. Thus, LUN propose workshop studios, an exhibition room, a participative bar, an edible garden, and so on.
