What is FAIRE?

FAIRE gives players in the urban and architectural arena the opportunity to submit bids in response to major urban challenges: biodiversity, heat islands, low-carbon construction, energy sobriety, but also the redefinition of urban professions, mutualization, co-production… Its ambition is to accelerate the emergence of experimental architectural and urban practices, to facilitate the implementation of prototypes in Paris and Greater Paris, to support and promote applied research and to encourage the implementation of new construction processes, materials and programs.
