Can we move away from heavy, permanent urban architecture towards a practice that embraces lightness and ephemerality? Drawing inspiration from lightweight forms of housing, this project proposes a structure that rises above the rooftops of Paris. Designed to accommodate students and young professionals facing an increasingly inaccessible housing market, the project makes use of rooftops as some of the city’s last available surfaces. Experimental in nature, its scaffolding structure and textile envelope follow in the footsteps of the utopian architects of the twentieth century, exploring new possibilities for urban living through an architecture that is light, adaptable, and temporary.
