Roots of the project
Our “all experts” working group was formed and was driven by a network of women who question, think, organize and build the city (architects, designers, responsible for donors, promoter, association manager, etc.). Professionals who today want to exchange, reflect and co-build with other women: the inhabitants of the popular districts. We wanted them meet under the prism of their expertise of use as mothers, housewives, managers, workers, unemployed / job seekers and the relationship they have with their housing.
Why associating “gender and housing”?
First, to make the category of gender visible as a structuring factor space. The use of housing by women impacts its organization and by therefore their expertise and their word should be better taken into account in the design of housing by architects and developers. With those workshops, we wanted to value women as users and producers, that they can come up with concrete ideas to improve their housing but also change and the relationships between those who design social housing and those who live it.
Our project is thought of as a social innovation experiment during which we want to:
meet and exchange women with each other on their relationship to housing.
change the posture of the professionals with the inhabitants to better identify needs.
question, within a co-construction approach, the idea of shared housing in link with their current lifestyles and uses.
