Studio + is an academic programme developed by Lafarge in
partnership with architecture schools. The programme
is an opportunity for architectural students to study
in-depth the topic of affordable housing, alongside
experienced professionals in this field, with a view to
completing their final year-long project on the subject.
More than 4 billion of people around the world do not have
access to decent housing. Aware of this growing need
for affordable housing, Lafarge developed an expertise in
this area. Studio+ is an opportunity for Lafarge to
share its scientific and technical knowledge with future
architects to enable them to tackle the challenges of
providing increasing numbers of affordable homes.
This programme commenced in December 2011 with the first
conference focusing on affordable housing at the National
Superior School of Architecture of Paris-Belleville
(ENSAPB). By the end of this year, more than 100
students will have participated in this programme from
universities based around the world, including the ENSAPB,
the Bombay JJ College of Architecture in India and the "Ion
Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism in
Bucharest in Romania.
