Dealing with subject such as high precariousness (eg. shantytowns) or urban renewal and design in the public space, Quatorze works with the beneficiaries of its projects. Our methods are based on co-design and co-construction: we analyze contexts and situations, organize and mediate workshops with all the stakeholders and host building times within the LAB14 or on open air construction sites.
