"RETOUR À LA SOURCE is a manifesto of “de-resourcing”, to return to a place where nothing and no one is treated as a mere instrument. It’s a return to a state of symbiotic cohabitation with the living world. Our design regenerates on the basis of Grand Nancy’s past, reconciling with its industrial heritage while creating spaces for ecological restoration and social integration."
