How can design account for the needs of the individual and the community?

For example, the consideration for singular voices or for aggregated agency, the focus on the self or the group, the pursuit of one's own interests while respecting common goods, the importance of conviviality, the opportunities of doing alone or doing together?

Living Tomorrow addresses the French student's housing challenges of high rent, inadequate or sub-standards living conditions, and limited mobility. Proposing a resilient and inclusive solution balancing accessibility with personal and collective well-being, the design includes individual spaces optimized for rest and work activities, and collective spaces fostering community coexistence (kitchens, coworking, relaxation). The modular homes are adaptable, designed for rehabilitation or reversible housing on unused land, supporting flexibility and sustainability through collaborative development.
