450 architect-designed houses to visit
Les éditions À vivre and the association 123 Architecte are organising the thirteenth edition of the Journées d'architectures à vivre, of which Actuarchi is a partner. Over two long weekends, on 14, 15, 16 and 21, 22, 23 June 2013, more than 300 architects will lead visits of their work alongside the owners.
Visits take place in small groups and last 45 minutes. The event is aimed equally at individuals with a building project of their own and at the simply curious. It is a chance to judge the quality of a project for yourself, and to show that, contrary to popular belief, architecture is accessible to everyone.
Les éditions À vivre are also publishing a special issue listing most of the projects open to visitors: houses, lofts, apartments and extensions. It costs €11.90 at all newsagents, and buying a copy entitles you to two free places.
Later this month, Actuarchi will take a closer look at a selection of the works on show. In the meantime, head over to www.journeesavivre.fr to book your visits; the cost is just €2 per person per project.
