La Preuve par 7 is a French initiative that aims to transform public spaces through collaborative urban projects. Led by architect Patrick Bouchain, the initiative focuses on the principle of "making by doing," where citizens, architects, and local authorities work together to create flexible, adaptive spaces that meet community needs. La Preuve par 7 advocates for a more democratic approach to urban planning, where the process is as important as the final product. The initiative has been involved in various projects across France, from repurposing abandoned buildings to creating temporary cultural spaces.
