→ Eden Minima

Eden le lieu des délices, et Minima pour le minimum, résume mon concept très simplement, un espace idyllique dans la nécessité du minimum. Ce projet est une réinterprétation du projet du Corbusier par rapport à l’urgence climatique, je prends un parti pris radical qui voudrait que la cité radieuse tende vers une autonomie alimentaire durable. Pour agir et prévenir, le projet à pour vocation d’aider les génerations du futur. Je préconise la conscientisation de l’ugence climatique et de nos consommations exacerbées en France. Ce projet est un manifeste, imaginé comme un eden de connaissances et de partage au coeur de Marseille.





La sobriété est facteur de bonheur parce qu’elle est libératrice.Si j’en veux toujours plus, quand suis-je satisfait ?

Eden Minima is a manifesto. A reinterpretation of Le Corbusier's project in response to the climate emergency. I take a radical stance that would see the radiant city strive for food autonomy. It is estimated that 1000 m² is sufficient for one person's food needs in France for one year. To meet the needs of a city of 900 inhabitants, I have decided to create a vertical garden, a vegetal wall that would envelop the main volume of the city, with a cultivation area extending over 90 hectares.


The radiant city becomes a storehouse of abundance of resources and awareness, through food and biodiversity via myciculture, entomoculture, aquaponics, poultry farming, beekeeping, and agricultural techniques inspired by permaculture. 

Agriculture would enable residents and the people of Marseille to mobilize around a project, to find a new rhythm of daily and longer-term life, aligning with the seasons and eating locally while achieving a form of happy sobriety.



Zoning of the 3rd and 4th “streets” of the radiant city of Marseille.



One of the imposed systems for the smooth functioning of the dynamics of spaces is a logistical hub that is the heart of the project. This space serves as a transition between the radiant city and the vegetal city, allowing people to meet, eat, stroll on the vegetal wall, and recharge.


The hub comprises 4 corridors on two floors bordered on either side by different spaces, all dedicated to food, including a market for fresh and processed products from the vegetal city, communal kitchens, spaces for receiving deliveries, and an associative canteen.



This hub is the nerve center of Eden Minima. It is the central place of the city where residents would come to source food from the crops.
