Designing the Josefa House necessitates compliance with post-modern criteria of sustainability, environmental standards, and solidarity economy. This is certainly a fair assumption to make.
However, the desired innovation for the Josefa house lies first and foremost in the pro-active "crossing over" offered by migration, by forced migration.
Indeed, the Josefa House intends to give meaning and weight to a "living together" that would be enhanced by the unexpectedness generated by the creativity and innovation of refugees and by the encounters between residents.
The Josefa House thus becomes a space of mutual social, economic, and cultural (in other words, material, intellectual, and spiritual) enrichment.
Therefore, it is possible that the sustainable design of the habitat with, of course, an income strongly enriched with noble materials (thus, temporally sustainable) will run out eventually due to a relative ignorance of the convictional data attached, in their diversity, to our (eternally) sustainable humanity.
The Josefa House wants to reiterate the fact that, living beyond a finite temporality and materiality, our humanity is in itself innovative and sustainable, for it has received a gift that transcends it.
