Course
Habiter Demain: co-constructing with users
How to co-construct the uses of tomorrow in an urban or housing project?
Program
The Innovation Lab is a post-graduate program for learning about innovation.
Each class is interdisciplinary and brings together a variety of profiles from design, technology, social sciences and entrepreneurship.
Surrounded by a network of professionals and experts recognized in their fields, the 15 students in the "Living Tomorrow" Lab will work together on a key issue in the field of urban planning and housing: control of use .
They will explore concrete issues such as:
- How can user control respond to the major changes in current behaviors and lifestyles, which are currently disrupting all housing professions (developers, architects, landlords, project owners, planners, etc.)?
- How to develop a combination of know-how and interpersonal skills essential to the management of an urban or housing project, such as listening, empathy, observation of needs, identification of weak signals, dialogue, creativity and the ability to project into the near future?
The final innovation objective of the program will be to design a creative toolbox for the (multiple) actors concerned by the control of use, proposing a certain number of experiences and methodologies that can be easily deployed in the field.
While working on this common thread, students will acquire different innovation methods from design, collective intelligence and creative prototyping.

Team and stakeholders
The program includes high-level speakers, which we will reveal in the coming weeks.
Sylvia Fredriksson
Sylvia Fredriksson's work focuses on the relationship between design, technology and politics. She implements projects in the fields of culture and digital mediation (Agence Orbe, Agence de reconfiguration territoriale AWP, Chronos) and develops artistic and creative experiences (La Gaîté-Lyrique, Collectif Kom.post, Collectif Work on Stage, RECLAIM). She will accompany learners on the subject of the commons and shared governance.
Apolline Le Gall
Social scientist
Apolline is an associate researcher at the Centre de Recherche en Design (CRD), at ENSCI-Les Ateliers and ENS Saclay. She is also a member of the Public Innovation Chair (ENA - ENSCI - Sciences Po - Polytechnique). Her research focuses on the role and effects of design in training systems for innovation by or with design.
Joachim Savin
After an initial training in woodworking, between industrial techniques and craftsmanship, Joachim continued his apprenticeship in design and the shaping of constraints and meaning at ENSCI les ateliers. His career is marked by a progressive rise in abstraction, from object to space, from space to service, from service to brand strategy.
Sylvine Bois-Choussy
Sylvine is part of the 27th Region, a laboratory of public transformation, which offers a multidisciplinary, reflective and experimental space to build desirable futures for public action. In charge of international cooperation, she leads different projects, at the crossroads of artistic, social and urban issues.
Stéphane Aucoin
Circular economy expert
Convinced of the need for a systemic approach, Stéphane Aucoin is an expert in circular economy, certified BLeader, Circulab and carbon footprint. He will provide tools to develop strategic circular economy models by mobilizing collective intelligence.
Aurore Leconte
Expert in consultation and development of educational games
Aurore has a professional background in the social, cultural and urban fields with a specialization in training and pedagogy. Co-founder of La Compagnie des rêves urbains which she co-directs, she has developed an expertise in mediation, consultation and the development of educational games.
Raphaël Besson

Benoit Boldron
Urban planner and researcher
Benoit Boldron is conducting research on resilient urban planning to face new environmental challenges, particularly the regeneration of environmental health, including human health. These reflections lead him to draw inspiration from the living world to develop a new planning methodology for cities, in order to better understand the development of human activity in harmony with other species in the biosphere.
Tiphaine Pitoiset
Training Manager
Tiphaine Pitoiset is a facilitator and training manager at La Plateforme. Previously, she was in charge of HIVE, an international multidisciplinary residency combining art, design and technology, and designed and led training courses for project leaders (US, Africa, UK).
