More than 600 ideas (POC) have been submitted. Many of these ideas have been accompanied in their development by designers. The promise of mobilizing stakeholders of the territory around the design is held. The POCs will be revealed in the fall in 5 Maisons POC and in their initial context in situ during “Temps Forts” (Main focus) that will be dedicated to them.

These Maisons POC have been entrusted to designers and curators for designing methods, accompanying, guiding and enhancing many different initiatives of POC stakeholders. POCs provide concrete answers to rethink the world in the context

Research day Far from just sticking to “health”, it proposes to redefine collectively what 08.10.2020 “care” means, when we need it most... Conviction, binding philosophy and design, is closely linked to two fold: on the one hand direct experimentation by the design allows us to act individually and collectively in the frame of the anthropocene era, on the other hand the care is one of the best ways to inhabit the world. In order to fuel this collective questioning, the Maison POC Care presents an exhibition of metropolitan and guest projects, to bring about the emergence of a “care society”. Conferences, round tables and workshops, with the participation of projects stakeholders, designers, artists, citizens and researchers will be organized to provide testimonials and to discern together the new horizons of care.

Sens Fiction © Ugo Bienvenu In contrast, Les usages du monde presents a panorama of solutions—social, environmental, architectural and agricultural alternatives—to change how humans impact their environment in the wake of the current state of the world. This exhibition was devised by the Arc en Rêve architecture centre. Design is a medium for anticipating future ways of life. Six talented authors make personal contributions to the stories developed by Ramy Fischler to translate the visions of the future imagined by companies and local authorities. The exhibition Sens Fiction presented at the Tripostal thus offers a glimpse into the role of fiction in future-oriented design. We could not have even considered this programme without drawing on the diversity of form and expression found in French design. The exhibition Designer(s) du design, also hosted at the Tripostal, will shine a light on the wide variety of practices implemented by designer-auteurs or managers, working in either the private or public sector.
