Brought together in international teams, participants worked for two weeks on the design of student housing in the neighborhood of Sambre-et-Meuse street, in Paris. The discussions focused on the relationships between privacy and collective life, the role of shared spaces, and connections with local residents. Site visits, drawings, and models fueled the dialogue between three architectural cultures and different project approaches.
Through testimonials from students and teachers, a video looks back at this educational experience, the exchanges it generated, the communication difficulties encountered, and the methods implemented to design together, beyond differences in language and training.
