introduction

How can architecture work towards breaking the cycle of disadvantage? Many complex issues such as isolation, lack of education and unemployment cripple people from reaching their fullest potential.

In the town of Seine Saint-Denis, near Paris, France local design specialists collaborated with Coup De Main and Romanian immigrants to complete a temporary housing structure. With a focus on socially integrative process and recycled materials the project is one such example.
