The star of the stage of the september 2022 Design Week in Paris, plastic seems to have moved beyond the disdain it had been experiencing lately. Thanks to recycling, its environmental footprint is now better controlled, which has turned into a real selling point. But beyond the material itself, it is an entire production logic that should be "recycled" to extricate ourselves from the dogma of newness and disposability.

Through the long-term perspective specific to paleoanthropologists, Pascal Picq can analyze the evolution of the human line in view of the parallel and sometimes jarring history of its habitat. In particular, he highlights how changes in ways of working have been a driver of the radical transformation of urban forms throughout history. He considers that the conditions for a new wave of change that could thoroughly transform our cities are already established, and he calls for new forms of nomadic living, in terms of housing and ways of moving around, as well as lifestyles organized on the basis of fusion-fission models of society. He also calls for a return of anthropology into the city, in order to make it easier for residents to reclaim their space. A Stream 05 article to discover now!

Given that space influences behavior, Sonia Lavadinho calls for a “relational city” to kickstart the process. Like the city itself, mobility could be perceived as not only functional, but as something that can take on a new dimension, as events. Enriching the urban experience would then change our spatiotemporal relationship to the city and foster better social behavior.

How can we then assign a new status to nature in order to better preserve it? For Marine Calmet, this involves moving beyond our attitude of domination of the living and productivist logics of growth and to instead think in terms of commons and the protection of the living. With the forward-looking curriculum Wild Legal, she explores and imagines the creation of new legal tools based on concrete case studies, in particular around the concept of ecocide, to protect the environment and imagine types of governance that could help achieve a more harmonious articulation of the local and global scales.

The notion of urban metabolism can be viewed in several ways. From a quantitative perspective, by considering flows; from a political ecology perspective, by considering social factors; and from an urban design perspective, by considering the sum of intertwined environmental and social ecosystems beyond administrative borders. In each of these approaches, urban technologies and the availability of data provide exciting prospects.

While the existence of the office building does not yet seem obsolete, the challenge remains to adapt office spaces to the new societal and environmental paradigms that are emerging. Reversibility, mixed-use construction and programming, and low-carbon design are all levers to be activated, as can be seen in the Stream Building project.

Biomimicry consists in reproducing not the forms but the functions of nature. On a neighborhood's scale, it involves drawing inspiration from an ecosystem's dynamics, which Eduardo Blanco, environmental engineer, calls "regenerative urban projects." But how can we evaluate the effectiveness of this design method and how can we measure its success over time?

Cities, like asphalt jungles, are dense inhabited spaces. Yet this density also helps limiting urban sprawl. Jeffrey Raven is a professor at the New York Institute of Technology and an architect specializing in resilient urban design. He advocates for the positive aspects of urbanization and seeks to resolve urban heat island effects by exploring the form, function, materiality and vegetation of the urban fabric.

Planting of the first tree of 360, our new project on the border of Paris and Vanves designed for Mata Capital!
360 is part of the Plateau district's revitalization. Its remarkable location and accessibility, at the head of the Périphérique, encouraged an ambitious rehabilitation to adapt the building to contemporary environmental issues and to new uses and work modes, while saving the carbon weight of a new building in a demolition-reconstruction scenario.
