Synopsis

A steel city that is a source of gossip in the neighbourhood. Lightweight houses, designed by their future buyers. A life-size construction kit entrusted to students. In Brussels, Liège and Charleroi, three architects and a handful of adventurous inhabitants are going to make their ideals a reality: housing in kit form, accessible to all! This human and architectural adventure has animated them for more than 50 years... What remains today of their visionary houses?
