"Imagine an architect who is looking forward to a four-month residency in a studio at the Cité internationale des arts. Imagine that this residency begins in January 2020, and that this time becomes a time of health crisis, of confinement, of silence in the streets, and of a reorganization of his work in his living space...". 
 
 
Jean Paysant, recipient of the Cité internationale des arts and the Academy of Architecture residency program has occupied a studio in the spring of this year 2020 in the time of confinement. The time also allowed him to realize the project from which this work is derived. Four months at "5022", the studio residence of the Academy of Architecture at the Cité internationale des arts, for an immersive reflection on the reinvention of a place of life and work, the practice of a space to think about its transformation and "inhabit its project".
 
 
Almost 30 years old, this gifted young architect, "traveler and observer" as Bertrand Lemoine, president of the Academy of Architecture, writes, offers through this digital book a dense yet intelligible work, aesthetic and sharp, which questions our conception of space, our daily practices, our relationship to both our workplace and our place of life. These are issues that most of humanity will have to face in 2020. A digital book that will therefore transport the general public into an architectural reflection on confinement. A work as poetic as it is academic for a more initiated public that will confront its knowledge with that of scientific and artistic research.
