Still Cabanon

In 1952, Le Corbusier designed a small wooden building for himself that he would inhabit for years as a home-shelter. Le Cabanon would be remembered as a reflection on the concentration of inhabited space, on the versatility of space and its uses.

After such a radical experience, repeatedly revisited by creators who move in the territory of Space, how can one think inhabiting to its minimum and its versatility of spaces and uses, a refuge, a place of concentrated comfort, and its permanence or ephemerality?

This question was the challenge posed to a group of authors from different disciplinary areas such as art, architecture and design. Their aim is to think and design an intimate shelter space for themselves, where they will reflect on inhabiting the twenty-first century.
