Paige Perillat-Piratoine
(Paris, France)
With a background in geography and entrepreneurship, I initially worked in urban agriculture; building and learning to run urban aquaponic farms in an effort to bring nature back to the built environment.
I’m convinced cities are full of all the wrong materials - that we spend our time in plastic and cement realities, bland, toxic and crucially draining. So I’m starting a collection of stories. Through Towards Organica I’m embarking on a learning mission around biodesign, to understand how our future cities can be less destructive, more regenerative, and more biocentric.
Having just left a chapter leading a placemaking project around community-led regeneration in East London, I’ll soon be back in France to start my dream project: an Architectural Park for Biodesign in the foothills of the Pyrenees, hosting a residency program.
By the time I’m 100 – I aim to be living in the first prototype of a symbiotic city.
