The hidden façade

Community housing in the Ile-de-France region is largely inherited from the time of crisis in the 20th century. The values of the past are reflected on their façades; these are no longer the values of the present. Our worries have changed and it is now difficult to settle for a minimum or a standard. Our desires for outside space, human contact and individuality are stronger than ever and this industrial architecture does not satisfy them. How do we live in these rigid, out-of-scale structures? How, in a time of public health crisis, shut away behind the façades, do residents seek escape? Will the future finally free us from our windows?

Quelle relation entre l’habitant, la fenêtre et la façade?

« Le pan de verre, le mur rideau, le panneau préfabriqué ont fini par éclipser la fenêtre en l’assimilant à la façade. »

Henri Bresler – Les fenêtre de Paris
