How can we, in conventional farmland, deal with environmental and societal disruptions and save the vernacular architectural heritage?
Faced with rural desertification, this project aims to give a new meaning to regional agricultural buildings in order to revitalise the rural environment towards a sustainable transition.
The project consists of rehabilitating a barn by transforming it into housing, an agricultural hub and cultural venue in order to revitalise bring rural activity back to life using permaculture. By promoting a happy frugality linked to lifestyle specific to the space, this project seeks to rethink architecture through resources and to consider the built environment as “a harvest of living elements”, a frugal architecture in symbiosis with the land.
