META (Maison des Échanges et des Transmissions Associatives) A hybrid third place: a temporary cultural center and open-air laboratory, realized with MAA Atelier, Loxia Socia, and Le Nid Poule. The structure, composed of container architecture and wood, was self-built with local associations. It is conceived as a "place of knowledge" (to host debates on city-making, self-building, reuse) and a "place of know-how." The workshop space, featuring a bricothèque (tool library) and prototyping equipment, is a community hub open where people can share skills, acting as a catalyst for social design and innovation.
