“ET SI ? Ménager au lieu d’aménager”: Rethinking living environments through research-creation

How can we design living environments with care for places and the people who inhabit them? The video “ET SI ? Ménager au lieu d’aménager” explores this question through a research-creation project centred on Montréal’s future Louvain Est neighbourhood.

Shabnam Rahbar, Associate Professor at Université de Montréal and a co-researcher in the CREAT Research Chair’s Arts and Health research Axis, invites us to discover this work. Building on a workshop initiated in 2023, the video presents alternative design approaches and offers avenues for reflection on how we imagine and inhabit our living environments.

The video was produced with financial support from the Villes Régions Monde (VRM) network through its Labo Studio initiative.
