Through the prism of three forms of intelligence -
- environment (systemic biomimicry),
- (AI tools integrated into the design process),
- and collective (transdisciplinary intelligence) -
as well as seven modes of thinking - systemic, design, critical, divergent, creative, prospective and exponential - and supported by the principles of non-formal education, IMREDD - Université Côte d'Azur and the UX for Smart Life: Home & Mobility Chair, through the Future Human Habitat (FHH) project, are developing innovative and disruptive visions and solutions for the Future Human Habitat.

This work emerges from the exploration of life in extreme environments - oceans, deserts, space, high mountains and the depths of the earth - as experimental grounds for rethinking our ways of living.

The first edition, entitled
«5 OCEANS, 5 COLONIES: Sculpting Future Living Architecture On & Below Water» - Future Experimental Lab, Chapter 01 - was conceived as an 11-day living, nomadic and immersive laboratory, implemented in July 2025. It explored, simulated and tested disruptive ideas for a «Brave New World» of living, in which humanity learns to co-exist with extreme marine environments.

The results produced are not conceptual or abstract: they are real catalysts, linking vision and action, and generating creative, applicable and transposable proposals for coastal cities, technological innovations and ecological and human habitat ecosystems.
