Rose des vents draws its inspiration from everyday student life to propose the creation of an affordable housing complex that is at once convivial, unifying and intimate. The primary aim of the project is to balance the changing needs of students. The moments of individuality required for self-actualization and periods of intense study coexist with the many opportunities for sociability, meetings and sharings. The main idea behind the project is that of a body protected by a mask or protective fabric. Like a loose-fitting garment that follows the body’s movements in a staggered fashion, following its own logic, the metal-coated cover slips around a mineral core.
