What if tomorrow’s city was already built, but asked to be organised, managed, regulated, financed, inhabited differently? A city both familiar, yet radically distinct.
As the all-building approach is increasingly challenged—by initiatives such as
@houseeurope.eu (
@charlottemalterrebarthes ,
@bplus.xyz ) and longer-standing critiques from
@cityofsound or
@darkmatter_labs —Déjà Vus is a journey into a near-future already present. It explores what it would mean to redefine design and architecture in the already-built city through reorganisation, re-governance, and re-inhabitation.
