Jean-Philippe Vassal
(Lacaton Vassal, Montreuil)
"Never demolish, never remove or replace, always add, transform, and use, complete, update, start from what already exists to do more, and to do better."
Transforming from what already exists makes it possible to take advantage effectively of what exists, to be more generous, to give more space to each inhabitant, to create new capacities, and to produce - in a sustainable way - living conditions no longer determined by the economic, regulatory, or normative minimum, but with maximum generosity and pleasure:
- More space, balconies or terraces, transparency, ..., which significantly improve the quality of living.
- Improve thermal comfort and achieve significant energy savings to achieve performance goals.
- De-densify buildings to reduce overcrowding and densify around them to create new housing, services, or shops.
- Offer new typologies, services, new uses, and facilities.
Transforming existing housing is an opportunity to massively improve the quality of housing for all in a way that is more economical, more ecological, and more attentive to the inhabitants.
