Summary:
Au détour d’un projet de reportage devenu un projet de livre, la journaliste Eugénie Emond assiste pendant un an aux rencontres Zoom hebdomadaires d’un groupe d’aînées qui souhaite mettre sur pied une forme d’habitation collective qui leur permettrait de vivre leur vieillesse dans des conditions qui leur conviennent. Mené par la colorée Suzanne, le collectif Coasis vit des espoirs et des déceptions sous l’œil observateur de l’autrice qui se demande si leur rêve est possible et s’il peut bien exister une telle chose que des conditions idéales en matière d’habitation.? ? À notre époque où la question du logement est liée à l’enjeu de la précarité et où le vieillissement de la population semble nous prendre de court même s’il avait été annoncé depuis des décennies, cette bande dessinée documentaire illustrée par Camille Loquet présente un regard tendre et parfois dubitatif sur une galerie de personnages. D’une réflexion sur les alternatives dans le domaine du logement, ce documentaire est aussi devenu un regarde unique sur les aspirations d’une génération qui veut garder ses rêves en vie et en santé.

Summary:
Ce cahier de théorie propose une étude de l'architecture des logements collectifs projetés dans les concours suisses entre 2000 et 2005. Leur analyse critique, non exhaustive, souligne les tendances prédominantes - notamment organiques - et révèle, en les mettant en perspective, les préoccupations actuelles concernant l'innovation et l'adaptation spatiale à l'évolution des modes de vie. Cette étude montre en particulier que les coopératives d'habitation et les investisseurs privés ne considèrent plus la question du logement qu'à l'aune exclusive des subventions ou des aides financières: la qualité des espaces domestiques est aujourd'hui devenue une question centrale de leurs réflexions.
