Plan Común
(Chile/France)Plan Común is a Franco-Chilean architecture practice founded in 2012, based in Paris and Santiago, Chile. It is currently led by Kim Courrèges, Felipe De Ferrari, Nissim Haguenauer and Marcelo Cox. The studio develops strategies to maximize and strengthen shared and collective spaces, the commons, by means of simple architectural tools, through research and design.
Plan Común’s recent work has a strong focus on collective housing design, building transformation, and urban space, including the Maison Commune in Pantin, the ‘PETIT’ social housing complex in Paris, France (together with Kuehn Malvezzi and Nicolas Dorval Bory, currently under construction), a collective housing building in Montevideo, Uruguay (together with adamo-faiden, under construction), the new stadium for Durrës, Albania (with 51n4e, ongoing), and the Villa San Luis Museum and Memorial project (with Umwelt, ongoing) in Santiago, Chile.
