THE WAYS
OF THE WORLD
New Ways of the World explores design approaches for inhabited space relating to dif-
ferent spatial and temporal aspects of life: finding somewhere to live, moving from one
place to another, eating, consuming, working, going to school, being connected, travelling,
going to the cinema, reading, interacting with others, dreaming, and so on.
Design is an art that deals with how we relate to things. It’s about how we relate to modes
of use, to the environment, to time and space, to other people, and to the world at large.
New Ways of the World is both determinedly critical and optimistic. It provides numerous
alternative responses to the ways in which the Earth is being made less inhabitable.
The projects presented are promising signs that new conditions for global inhabitability can
be created in which the notions of otherness and fairness play a decisive role. Each project
is designed as a built solution. Though distinct from one another, these initiatives have in
common a strong sense of commitment on the part of those implementing them.
The current crisis puts our social and economic resilience to the test in three interconnec-
ted dimensions: the individual, the collective and the political.
It also opens up new perspectives. It invites us to reflect upon how to provide people with
alternative inhabitable space, and it encourages us to give the economy a new meaning by
reactivating its roots in the oikos, the art of good housekeeping: not the stewardship of the
finance-driven world, which exhausts its resources and destroys the living environment,
but that of the world as a shared dwelling place.
The exhibition invites us to ‘cultivate our garden’, in the words of Voltaire’s Candide, by
taking care of the Earth, its air and its water, for ALL of its inhabitants, with both modesty
and courage.
In this regard, New Ways of the World testifies to our ability to build the best possible inha-
bitable space in the age of the Anthropocene.

This broader meaning of the word design encourages us to completely rethink the impact of hu-mans on their environment and above all, at a time when the story of the Anthropocene is unfold-ing, their role in the changing state of the world. As a verb of action and intention, design makes those who perform that action accountable. The world is not in its current state “by mistake” or “by accident”, but by design: in other words, as a result of planned projects and collective desires that have become reality. 10 10 NEW WAYS OF THE WORLD Lille Metropole 2020 World Design Capital / exhibition 09 09 2020 > 08 11 2020

12 NEW WAYS OF THE WORLD Lille Metropole 2020 World Design Capital / exhibition 09 09 2020 > 08 11 2020This map is based on the Dymaxion World Map, developed between 1946 and 1954 by R. Buckminster Fuller, an American
architect, designer, writer and futurist thinker. It is the most accurate world projection. Unlike traditional world maps that tend to
reinforce the elements that separate humanity and fail to highlight the interrelations, this map illustrates the entire surface of the
earth without visible distortion in the relative size and shape of any of the land masses or any breaks in the continental contours.
In this map there is no « up » and « down » or « north » and « south » only one island in one ocean.

The Ice Stupas are artificial
and pyramidal glaciers 30 to
50 meters high that store fresh
water for the people, livestock
and farmland of Ladakh, a region
severely affected by drought
due to global warming. . Unlike
a natural glacier, which exposes
its surface largely to the sun,
the Ice Stupa, due to its conical
shape, is much less exposed to
solar radiation and therefore melts
more slowly.

In Bangladesh, global warming
is a reality. During a cyclone, the
wind speed can reach over 200
kilometers per hour and the flood
height can reach several meters
high. In addition to a primary
school and day clinic, the building
is also a cyclone shelter that can
accommodate over 1,000 people.
The classrooms are wrapped in
an outdoor ramp, which winds up
to the roof, allowing those seeking
shelter to put their livestock,
essential to their lives, out of
harm’s way.

The floating farm located in the
port of Rotterdam, produces,
processes and distributes dairy
products in the heart of the
city. The farm is part of a short
production cycle: the cows are
fed from the shearing of public
spaces in the city and from
the remains of neighboring
restaurants, and the milk is
distributed in local shops. The
farm combines a dual objective:
to be close to consumers, without
depriving inhabitants of urban

What if the most harmful urban
development model, that of the
suburban housing estate that
encroaches on arable land on
the edges of towns, could be
turned around and made into the
most beneficial model ? David
Holmgreen, the joint founder of
permaculture, has observed these
changes taking place in suburban
communities in Australia. Here,
the eco-conversion of suburbia
has made it possible to revive
modes of land use rooted in the
principle of commons.

Atelier Gando is a learning
centre for building with local
resources: the materials and
men and women of the area. It
is a bridge between Gando and
the world that sparks interactions
between Western and African
craftsmen, labourers, architects,
and students. Atelier Gando is
an amplifier of knowledge and
expertise, which can then spread
to even the remotest villages.

23Economic parameters are part of the solution, not the problem.
We must rethink the rules of the urban economy, opening up
alternatives to a world all too often shaped by profit and speculation.
Chinese villages and their
architectural heritage are
threatened by the major urban
transformations that the country
is experiencing. To preserve the
village of Wencun, Wang Shu and
Lu Wenyu carried out a village
development project where the
old and the new merge. They
reinterpret vernacular architecture
and traditional building techniques
to create spaces suited to
contemporary lifestyles.

Today in Africa, 900 million people
have no access to electricity.
Sunna Design, a startup founded
in 2011 in Blanquefort, Bordeaux,
wants to respond to this problem
by launching the Nanogrid, an
ecologically sound alternative to
standard power networks. This
system, which works on solar
power, does not require heavy
infrastructures and can be set
up anywhere quickly. It takes the
form of a street lamp to which
four households can connect
themselves, providing them with
LED interior lighting and a mobile
phone recharge service.

arc en rêve centre d’architecture was founded in Bordeaux
in 1981. Its mission is to stimulate cultural awareness in the
fields of architecture, urban planning and landscaping, while
also acting as an interface working to improve the quality
of the spaces we live in. The centre’s pursuits have both a
widely international and a strongly local dimension, structu-
red around exhibitions, conferences, debates, publications,
workshops for children, courses for adults, trips to visit buil-
dings or explore towns, and experimental activities in urban
design. arc en rêve fosters creative initiatives, encourages
critical thinking, and broadens perspectives of a changing
world. Such ventures promote contemporary architectural
innovation in and around Bordeaux, throughout the region,
and across the globe.
In synergy with its monographic and thematic exhibition pro-
jects, arc en rêve centre d’architecture develops meetings
and workshops for professionals and teachers alike, provi-
ding training and setting up contacts. Interactive, hands-on
activities specially designed for young people and schools
encourage participants to get involved in touching, building,
debating and inventing through the use of arc en rêve’s
purpose-designed teaching materials.
