Le Ci-gîte, laboratoire d’échécologie

Once you’ve shared your biggest failure in the ‘confession’ area, take part in a workshop where we’ll collectively transform these failures into brilliant ideas for the cities and regions of tomorrow!

As the philosopher Charles Pépin says, “Anyone who has never experienced failure has wasted their life”. Yet we do not know how to fail; we strive for excellence and identify so strongly with our failures that we confuse ‘failing’ with ‘being a failure’. What’s more, when it comes to building – whether a house, a neighbourhood or even a city – the pressure is enormous, as it generally takes a good hundred years to put our blunder right.
As a result, our ability to invent and experiment with new ways of doing things is underdeveloped. We could fail much better.
