Abstract

Le système constructif développé dans le cadre du projet Working Space repose sur une structure porteuse en bois, conçue sur les principes de modularité et de préfabrication. L'ensemble des composants est adaptable aux différents systèmes statiques et trames structurelles des bâtiments existants. L'objectif est de faciliter la création de nouveaux espaces administratifs sans consommation de sol, en conciliant un confort satisfaisant pour les usagers, une diversité de configuration spatiale, une valorisation des ressources urbaines existantes, notamment à proximité des transports publics, et une minimisation des impacts sur l'environnement. Concrétisant les principes d'une architecture bioclimatique bas carbone, cette réalisation fait la part belle aux énergies renouvelables, en particulier par l'intégration d'une vaste surface de panneaux photovoltaïques en toiture.

Workspace

Workspace is a term used in various branches of engineering and economic development. Workspace refers to small premises provided, often by local authorities or economic development agencies, to help new businesses to establish themselves. These typically provide not only physical space and utilities but also administrative services and links to support and finance organizations, as well as peer support among the tenants. A continuum of sophistication ranges through categories such as 'managed workspaces', 'business incubators' and 'business and employment co-operatives'.

Prefabrication

Prefabrication is the practice of assembling components of a structure in a factory or other manufacturing site, and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. Some researchers refer it to “various materials joined together to form a component of the final installation procedure“. The most commonly cited definition is by Goodier and Gibb in 2007, which described the process of manufacturing and preassembly of a certain number of building components, modules, and elements before their shipment and installation on construction sites.

Working class

The working class, sometimes incorrectly referred to as the middle class, includes all employees who are compensated with wage or salary-based contracts. Working-class occupations (see also "Designation of workers by collar colour") include blue-collar jobs, and most pink-collar jobs. Members of the working class rely exclusively upon earnings from wage labour; thus, according to more inclusive definitions, the category can include almost all of the working population of industrialized economies, as well as those employed in the urban areas (cities, towns, villages) of non-industrialized economies or in the rural workforce.
