Across all age groups, succeeding changes in life, shifting representations, and novel economic conditions have led us dreaming of territories that may grow or shrink for a long time. In one word, to adapt to different situations without having to worry about leaving one’s neighborhood and familiar space.

Thus housing will have to adapt to the ages and the rhythms of domestic groups [flyer].
