Eiffage, a French construction group, has started a long term Research & Development experience based on a future vision of their activities. Called Phosphore, the project is structured as a group intern think tank reaching to all the different group's branches.

What is specially interesting from the Imagine perspective is that Phosphore is framed within a vision of a future and fits into a territorial as well as a sustainable approach.

Phosphore's work focus on energy efficiency, future materials, social, environmental and economical issues surrounding construction activities, and sustainable mobility. In 2008, two more themes were introduced: Ecoquartiers and Energitecture® (concept considering as well architectural as energy issues).
