Away from all the controversies, alongside the Gaia association we commit ourselves to purposing architectural answers to reducing the risks that drug users are exposed to whilst also taking into account the public security.

In this way, our expertise has to go beyond a simple « management » in the handling of addiction. Painful and serious subject, this major problem of public health has to be thought-out in a human way in the broad sense… resident included !
