The Marbrerie 13 building is in a state of suspension. It exists, it is inhabited, and it is slated for demolition. The attic level provides 700 m², 350 m² of which are covered. Its porosity, its exposure, and its direct relationship to the site are not flaws to be corrected; they constitute the very conditions of a form of habitation that embraces its connection to the outdoors. The project engages this territory as a spatial resource, developing collective interior and exterior spaces for the residents of the building.

Camping operates as a form of domesticity without fixed dwelling. It reenacts the rituals of inhabiting—cooking, sleeping, washing, eating—by extracting them from the private sphere and rendering them collective, temporary, and visible. Where the apartment encloses, camping opens.

Through this lens, the project interrogates both the practices and imaginaries of collective housing. It strategically deconstructs the existing structure to construct an augmented legacy: permanent infrastructural elements that anchor the program, coupled with a seasonal, ephemeral landscape that activates and sustains it.
