How can we reconnect housing with its territory by considering its specific characteristics and resources: its materials, its heritage richness, and its regional know-how?
The exhibition traces how the collective Anatomies d’Architecture took on this challenge during the experimental renovation project of a traditional house in Orne (Normandy): 0% concrete, 0% plastic membranes, 100% natural materials sourced from within 100 km of the site!
Dive into this adventure through large-format comic boards and interviews that highlight the industries and expertise surrounding the 8 materials used in this renovation: brick, black locust, Douglas fir, hemp, earth, chestnut, recycled cork, and reclaimed oak.
Two years of field research were necessary to scientifically document this extraordinary renovation project.
An exhibition designed by the cooperative Anatomies d’Architecture,
with the support of the Maison de l’Architecture de Normandie – le Forum, Les Grands Ateliers, Territoires pionniers, La Maison de l’Architecture Normandie, and the Region of Normandy.
