One timber prefab building turns into a litany of conversations, research and essays on responsible yet habitable environments. The Proto-Habitat is both a theoretical and practical (built) experiment to explore ways of dwelling that are closer to contemporary lifestyles, and to broaden collective representation to include environmentally responsible modes of existence and habitability.

With contributions by Virgil Abloh, Frédérique Barchelard, Isabel Concheiro, Irina Davidovici, Dieter Dietz, Monique Eleb, Dominique Gauzin-Müller, Marc Koehler.
