MZIN NEWS: PARIS, LA #12 (FR) — ALTERNATIVE HABITATION

In this issue we take a look at architecture, but our interest in buildings gave way to a fascination with all the lives taking place within them. The imaginary lives, the playful lives, the alternative lives. A house is a chemical bond between natural elements, rough materials, and the inhabitants. All together under a certain pressure, they atomize another form of life. A house is almost like a person, a revered member of the family. It can breathe life and be life at the same time.
