Super Cabane !
Mini Maousse 10
Since 2003, the Mini Maousse microarchitecture competition has invited students of architecture, design, art, landscape architecture and engineering to explore small scale with inventiveness and poetry. The 10th edition, entitled Super cabane !, proposes to reinvent the act of building by placing care, attention and sharing at the heart of architecture.
Through the construction of huts in primary schools, Super Cabane! engages pupils and students in a collective reflection on housing and its connection to the world. Children become the first builders of an ecological imagination: they learn to build while living, to share and to take care of their environment. The hut thus becomes a poetic mediator between generations, connecting play, refuge, discovery, transmission and care.
Simple, light, reversible and meaningful, it embodies an architecture of connection, where materials, craftsmanship and cooperation take precedence over size or complexity. The project opens up a field of educational and constructive experimentation, integrating craftsmanship, reuse, short supply chains and bio-based materials. The treehouse is not just an object: it is a process, a collective learning experience based on imagination, trust and creativity.
The exhibition will present the 59 architect-designed cabins that resulted from this collective adventure. Designed with experimentation and constructive ecology in mind, they highlight frugality, raw materials and manual creativity, using materials as varied as wood, straw, earth, textiles, recycled materials and low-tech devices.
