Abstract

Il est possible de trouver dans la ville des ressources en libre accès destinées à tous. De l'eau, une assise, un abri, la chaleur… Et pourquoi pas un espace de repos, un lieu pour passer la nuit? L'abri prend place dans les différents vides de la ville, entre deux bâtiments, dans un parc ou encore dans une friche non exploitée. Les nomades urbains, tels que le migrant, l'étudiant, l'artiste de passage ou encore le voyageur-explorateur, sont les potentiels utilisateurs de ces structures. Le projet s'articule sur deux niveaux, un rez public et un niveau supérieur habitable. Le niveau inférieur est une surface horizontale dédiée à n'importe quel utilisateur de la ville. Elle est parfois mobilier urbain, assise, gradin; un couvert ou encore une infrastructure. Le niveau supérieur offre le luxe minimum de pouvoir dormir à l'abri des intempéries et des dangers extérieurs. Un exosquelette brut et rugueux protège et contient dans sa partie supérieure un corps mou fait de tissus. La structure possède deux visages, de jour elle est ouverte et transparente, de nuit la partie supérieure s'habite et s'illumine comme une lanterne dans la ville.

Japanese architecture

Japanese architecture has been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled or thatched roofs. Sliding doors (fusuma) and other traditional partitions were used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a space to be customized for different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor, traditionally; chairs and high tables were not widely used until the 20th century.

Storey

A storey (British English) or story (American English) is any level part of a building with a floor that could be used by people (for living, work, storage, recreation, etc.). Plurals for the word are storeys (UK) and stories (US). The terms floor, level, or deck are used in similar ways, except that it is usual to speak of a "16-storey building", but "the 16th floor". The floor at ground or street level is called the "ground floor" (i.e. it needs no number; the floor below it is called "basement", and the floor above it is called "first") in many regions.

Cubism

Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related artistic movements in music, literature, and architecture. In Cubist works of art, the subjects are analysed, broken up, and reassembled in an abstract form—instead of depicting objects from a single perspective, the artist depicts the subject from multiple perspectives to represent the subject in a greater context. Cubism has been considered the most influential art movement of the 20th century.
