| Name | Darwin camp – Ecosystème Urbain Darwin | |
| Date | 2008 | |
| Description | Darwin was created as an urban ecosystem inside of an old military barrack that was left abandoned in the city of Bordeaux.
The project includes small commerces, a co-working space, shared offices, cultural, artists, and residents’ associations, apiculture activities and urban farms, cafés, bars and restaurants, sports areas, and a hostel among others. The whole system follows a governance model that is collaborative and participatory, thanks to the “Darwiniens” association. It is a sustainable structure as it hosts workshops for the recycling of various materials; it sets up spaces with the help of recycled furniture; it follows an advanced recycling system for the waste produced; and finally, it makes use of renewable energy and collects rainwater. The Darwin project is therefore an example of a sustainable renovation that remains inclusive and fosters community building in the city. |
