As a conclusion, I would like to present three questions.

The challenges of tomorrow are multiple: the territorial and programmatic aspect, air quality, the environmental quality of materials, waste, water issues, biodiversity, etc. We should not legislate as we have legislated so far in relation to energy. This is the great drama of environmentalists, who have tried to spur change with simple speech, but who have seen nothing concrete. It then became necessary to legislate, but we have undoubtedly legislated too much, too much has been cut from the architect’s creativity.

The passive has two dramas: firstly, in passive mode, we cannot be autonomous in terms of heating and secondly, there has been an increase in the amount of materials (insulation and additional sheaths, the increase in the volume built), which totally goes against the idea of economy of materials.

The third point to which I hold: we must not forget the human being. Humans must keep control of their habitat and all the systems in which they find themselves immersed.

So, to answer the question asked: obviously the architect must be part of the solution; the architect can in no way be part of the problem!

Thank you for your attention.
