Life, assembled

A city made of steel that is a talking point in the neighbourhood. Japanese houses designed by their future residents. A construction site in kit form entrusted to students. In Charleroi, Liège and Brussels, three architecture firms - Jean Englebert, Lucien & Simone Kroll and Paul Petit - want to turn their housing ideals into reality. With their ideas, they want to demonstrate the revolutionary potential of industrialised architecture - the year is 1968. And what remains today of their houses of tomorrow?
