Paquita, mobile third place

Paquita is a ‘mobile third place’, a prefiguration tool for imagining and collectively drawing up the outlines of the future ‘third place’ integrated into the future Pôle Gérontologique Nîmois (PGN) of the French Red Cross.

Over a two-week period, the project involved the transformation of an old Red Cross J9 lorry and the construction of a furniture kit to be stored inside. Several fun and creative workshops were set up, mixing all the audiences present. The project was carried out alongside graphic designer Benoit Bonnemaison-Fitte, students from the Hemingway art and design CPGE, and of course the residents and employees of the Red Cross EHPAD in Nîmes.
