Addressing Housing #2 | Sophie Delhay

conference
The design of housing intersects the spatial, social, and environmental dimensions of architecture. The project-based research undertaken by Sophie Delhay on housing adopts the operational concept of composing plans with often identical rooms, which surpasses the functionalist designs that contemporary housing still inherits. This allows her to conceive dwellings capable of adapting to current social changes in lifestyles and future ones that are still unpredictable. The functional deassignment of spaces explored in her work leads to the perhaps counterintuitive conclusion that the grid in plan allows the greatest freedom of use. It particularly stimulates the imagination of occupants who can freely choose the placement of functions.
This conceptual framework also highlights the specific role of the kitchen. It is not only the mirror of society, the place of conviviality and exchanges between the indoors and outdoors, a place once reserved for women, but it is also where the archaic and cultural activity of meal preparation occurs, which involves energy consumption. This led her to more specifically question this space.
