CINEMATOGRAPHIC INTERMISSION

AIMS

The objective of the project is to design an apartment-type living space – that is, it could be used to create a collective housing building.

This project is an opportunity to question new lifestyles, new family organizations, lifetime organized around shared childcare, late de-cohabitation, shared flats…… and the impact they have on the modularity of housing.

METHOD

After watching Wes Anderson’s “The Life Aquatic”, a 2003 film, you are asked to design a place to live for a tribe that you will define.

Like what:A tribe made up of a hyperactive and disorderly forty-something mother and her 3 children, 16, 12 and 8 years old.

A reconstituted tribe of a writer mother and her two young children and a smuggler father and his two teenage children, who all get together on weekends or for the holidays and who cross paths intermittently at other times, according to the shared custody.

3 retired women share their living space Commander Cousteau and his crew.

TECHNIQUE

Week 1: Tell the story, based on your memories, of the chosen tribe and represent in the form of sketches, their “living together”

Week 2: small model of an inhabited space

Week 3: An inhabited section in A3 format – free graphic tools – the scale will be close to 1/50th.

STRENGTHS
The project practice can be carried out along different axes and themes. We suggest that students enter the project through the front door, the one used by users.
