The Mount theory intermingles the global question between existing and potential productive programs and spaces, and also between current uses or the ones to come. This makes it possible to transform the ordinary through a transversal and contextual approach. The project focuses on mutating the premises in terms of the opening up productive spaces in relation to public spaces that become places of exchange and transversality of knowledge. They enable to create places of experimentation and innovation by the association of a diversity of users (inhabitants, students, workers, political decision-makers). These public spaces become then productive.
