The Rhône Métropole Council for Architecture, Urban Planning and the Environment (CAUE) presents its exhibition “The tour of the materials of an ecological house” from last March until November 28, 2024.
The CAUE offers the general public and professionals the opportunity to come and discover their new exhibition “ The tour of the materials of an ecological house “. A good activity idea for the month of August.
A testimonial exhibition
This retrospective traces the renovation of a traditional Orne house (Normandy) by the Anatomies d’Architecture collective (a cooperative founded by two architects and an anthropologist in 2018). This house was built without concrete and plastic membranes, using only natural materials from less than 100 km from the site (hemp, raw earth, acacia, recycled cork).
Visitors will be able to discover the questions that gave rise to this project. How to reconnect housing to its environment? Build a house with regional materials? How to model an ecological house that takes into account local specificities: know-how, architectural heritage and geography of the environment? How to move away from standard housing to prefer sustainable housing that is adapted to its environment?
The public will be able to learn about the project and its implementation through large-format comics and interviews. Likewise, it will be possible to discover the stages of the projectAnatomies d’Architecture. First, the construction and design of a “bioclimatic architecture, 100% local, natural and reversible“. Then, field research and surveys carried out across the globe, meeting with more or less specialized actors on this issue. Finally, teaching and the transmission of knowledge and skills acquired through this project.
