diploma saint-claude, hĂŠtĂŠrotopie sur la bienne jura, france, 2014

collaboration with c. laventurier student work

saint-claude, hétérotopie sur la bienne. 2014, france. diploma in collaboration with c. laventurier. Isolated in a deep basin in the middle of the Jurassic Moutains, Saint-Claude is a special city that we define as an “heterotopia”. This concept was invented by Foucault to define the located utopias, such as psychiatric hospital or a theater. In Saint-Claude, this peculiar geography has led its inhabitants to develop in history very trong social structures. Saint-Claude’s first heterotopia was a religious one. It started with an ermitage, and became during Middle Ages a very powerful abbay. It attracted numerous pilgrimages and therefore stimulated the production of wooden objects. This created the bases for a strong industrial culture (wood, diamonds, plastic), and launched the second main heterotopia, the anarchist cooperatives. During the 19th & 20th centuries, those were a new way of living and working by gathering wages to organise collective services. These were part of the earliest and strongest communities in France.

Today, most of Saint-Claude’s factories are now empty, leaving large wasted buildings along its riverbanks. Still, Saint-Claude is part of the Bienne Valley which is European biggest Plastic Production Centre. This valley is characterized by an urban production of electricity, with traditionnal industries built over hydraulic canals. Turbines were integrated to architecture, unlike its neighboor Ain valley has developed a massive electricity politic by building six huge dams including France’s third biggest artificial impoundment structure. The abandonned industries are not only the reminders of industrial times but a key element in a fine urban culture developed on riverbanks. Those huge buildings link energy and landscape through architecture in the most efficient use of space. Our intention is to show Saint-Claude what is the potential this river valley by reversing the river’s façade. The project is located at the extreme border between the Bienne’s canyon and the city bigger square, whose views over the landscape are now very limited. We transform an existing gap into a larger public balcony over the water and old fabrics. The facade is reversed to offer a western entrance to the commerce located on ground floor. This new pedestrian walk continues down to the river through a music school and auditorium, and up to the sky with a panoramic hotel. 1. Comparing two valleys 2.

We believe that contemporary public space needs both public and private actors whose caracteristics and actions are complementary. A private investment like a hotel could colaborate in creating a spectacular situation that would benefit to inhabitants and visitors. This is why this project is hybridizing three very different programs. The narrow promenade is extended downwards to offer wintergardens for the existing dwellings. The glass skin offers a very bright room that can be open following the hard climate of Saint-Claude. In the gap between the plaza and the river, the main part of this promenade is animated by the public music academy. It guides the pedestrians towards the river through four terrasses gathering a restaurant, a music library, collective and singular rehearsal rooms and a 150 sits- auditorium on the lower level. The private program overlooks the promenade. It is a panoramic hotel that enjoys crossing views over the Bienne’s valley. The specificity of its relation to the water is shown on the façade: all bathrooms are located over the river, with the last floor used as a public spa.

national archives. 2014, oslo, norway. Public Open-call in collaboration with E.Strønstad & L.Maitia. A building is more than a building. It keeps the marks of its histories and frames the creation of collective memory. A traumatic moment needs an exceptional reaction, but destruction is not a valuable option. Høyblokka should be preserved because it is a testimony of essential events for Norway. Not many buildings have provoked so many opinions, discussions and histories, even during the two years it has been empty.

We propose to re-use Høyblokka as a place for the National Archives. It is important that historical documents are accessible for everybody. This building, with its memory, monumental space and location is an ideal place for containing the ongoing history. A mobile archive system would be distributed along the facade of each floor. It would shape an introverted space, where people can discover and discuss. A path of public stairs intersects each floor and connects the street level with a bright and public plaza on the roof.

At the same time the yard is a protected outdoor space for growing, playing and social meeting. The courtyard will be well suited for large events like market days, music and dance festivals etc.

The expansion of the Science Center Vitengarden contains kinder garden, pedagogical spaces for the museum and administration offices for both of them. The center works mainly with exploring the past, present and future of agriculture in the area. We have distributed all rooms on the main level in a

The circulation area facing the courtyard is simultaneously a conservatory which in combination with the yard and greenhouse provides Vitengarden the opportunity to explore a wide range of plants and growing conditions all year round in different microclimates.

bains publics à bagnolet. 2010 & 2011, Paris, france. 3rd year student work in collaboration with P.lemaire. « Porte de Bagnolet » is a complex road intersection on the eastern parisian border. It combines a large highway to several national and smaller streets, as well as a metro station, a large mall and a beautiful but hidden park. The program is to mix a concert hall with a large public bath, in a district with both very residential and urban activities. We decide to « bury » the concert hall in order to offer a large square between the garden and the metro station. Then we place the public Baths on the northern extremity of the plot to avoid shadows form the residential towers south of it. This building is like a double-orientated buffer zone. In the north/south direction, it acts as a wall to protect from the highway noise, but this opaque mass is also a way to emphasize the beauty of the very light infrastructure. Transparent in the west/east direction, its thick floors frame the park’s dense wood. During my exchange study at Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona (ES), a construction course gave me the opportunity to detail the structure and materials of this project. One of the major references were the beautiful public Baths of Laracha by spanish architects C. Quintans, A. Raya y C. Crespo. 1. Architecture as a buffer zone 2. Framing the park views 3.

This city hybrides two opposed spatial cultures, from the largest scale (urban planning) to the smallest (dwelling). While a european dwelling is more and more extroverted, the typical moroccan house is organized around a central outdoor patio, limiting any opening towards the street. Is it possible to combine a moroccan introverted dwelling with a high and very dense collective urban plan? How to reinvest the declining industrial district for the most people? A ten meters wide element is assembling several typologies of appartments in a changing manner. We multiply those long elements to create a complex urban space, a kind of new median built in three dimensions. ÉLÉVATION

The program is divided into two main parts. First is a large public space including offices, a public pool and sport centre, a restaurant, a bar, and several common rooms for the inhabitants. The second part is residential and includes 180 apartments of varied sizes.

Public and collective activities are located on ground level to animate the district. They connect the different towers under a continuous roof that undulates like the industrial warehouse existing previously on the site.

The project starts with the will of marking the limit between two parks of a very different scale to emphasize their different characteristics. Two screens create a sequence of light and shadows that frame an interior street.

Dwellings are built with a light wooden structure covered by a wicker faรงade. The collective roof is set on a massive concrete plinth.

mantes-la-ville, france, 2011. 3rd year student work.

Mantes-La-Ville is a typical suburban city, characterized by two urban scales: the small scale of the pavilion, and more recent one of dwelling blocks. How is it possible to combine those two very different typologies today? We assemble the largest apartments in duplex along the road. Each of these urban house has a small private garden. They offer at the same time the new skeleton on which to build two

dense blocks of smaller flats that enjoy calmer view towards a collective park inside the plot. The façade is a key-element in the contact with the panorama. In addition, parisian climate is known to be rainy. We slightly incline the façade to create a « rain-wall » and enjoy the possibility of hearing and watching the rain during those long sunday afternoons. Or even just be under the sky and inside your house when the weather is sunny…

naust. 2014, vikebygd, norway. work with e.strønstad & kollaboratoriet (in process: municipality application & detailing) This project is a rehabilitation and extension of a boathouse (“naust” in norwegian). The client wants to transform it into a local for festivities, but keeping the possibility to stay in a bright and transparent house protected from the wind during the winter. The boathouse is made of a strong and beautiful wooden structure covered by wood cladding and metallic sheets. We decide to reuse the structure and to extend it on 4 meters backwards to the mountains. If the inside becomes a unified volume, we express two different relationships to the outside,

adapted to the specific location on the seashore. The old part is sometimes flooded by the sea. We want to keep its rough and mystical atmosphere with high and filtered entries of light. Its façade is covered with a vertical irregular cladding. On the opposite, the extension is given more delicate caracter with a combination of milky polycarbonate and norwegian trespiler. 1.

independant work for private client (submitted).

This home is part of a rowhouse in Frognerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhood. Built during the 1970s, its kitchen is separated from the living-room, which makes it uncomfortable for the clients. I drew two possibilities of how to open the wall separating the two rooms, including in my drawings the structure and electric system. The first option is based on the bottom line of the beam that crosses your chimney, which is visually very strong in the living-room. The second option is a bit higher. It starts where the previous cupboards started and finishes up to the beam we saw in the kitchen. This option reduces the visual impact of the beam that crosses the chimney. It gives more importance to the expressive game between the chimney and the stairs volumes, and brings more light into the kitchen.

urbanism & landscape le llobregat, entre parc et renaturation barcelona, spain, 2013 master thesis

le llobregat, entre parc et renaturation. 2013, barcelona, spain. master thesis.

The Llobregat is Barcelona’s main river. With a length of 170 kilometers, it crosses Catalunya‘s main natural spaces and was a historical driving force for its economy as it provided water, energy, fertile land and a route for merchandises. Today, its delta is a complex aera where stand alongside Barcelona’s port and airport, enormous factories, several highways and a growing population. It is a large territory caracterized by urban sprawl, mixing urban and natural aeras without clear limits. Life’s quality in the river is very low, especially inside its delta. To restore this urban river which is both a fragile and dangerous place, the landscape architects Batlle i Roig use here a very localised action called “deflector”. Those stones blocks put in the middle of it course recreate an erosion system that diversifies water speeds and enhance wildlife development. Is a restoration program compatible with a new urban park? Batlle i Roig consider this project as a manifest. They argue for a new way of handling landscape as a continuous garden that we could wander from the city center to the most protected natural reserve. Those linear parks would reuse and occupy metropolitan waste grounds and create a wide green network for both biodiversity and inhabitants. It is also interesting to see how this project is the symbol of power struggles between a city and “its” countryside. Llobregat’s delta is the largest free area close to Barcelona, and

the catalunyan capital tends to consider it as the perfect backyard for big infrastructures. Looking back into the past reveals that this new park is the result of a very old conflict between Barcelona and its southern suburb. The discussions merged into the large “Plan Delta”, whose compromise was to restore the river Llobregat after having diverted its course four kilometers southwards to allow the port and airport expansions. The reaction to such and authoritarian plan was the development of a multitude of parks or reserves. They generalize access to environmental decisions, but paradoxically create confusion because of the multiplicity of administrative layers. Creating identity and natural parks is a reaction to “non-places” and those territories we can see all over the world. It is a way to fight against what Pier Vittorio Aureli defines as “urbanisation”: “the economic logic of social management” in opposition to the city, “the political dimension of coexistence”. The city is a political space, and urbanisation is an economic space. An iconic plan is Ildefons Cerda’s for Barcelona, who reduced the city into an isotropic and thus extendable grid to articulate the equal distribution of services and roads throughout the city area. If tomorrow’s architecture wants to frame and limit the space, shouldn’t landscape be the art that confronts us to a nature without boundaries? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: Changing landscape along the path (personal drawings).

student workshop + Installation of the exhibition with brazilian designers campana

This started on a workshop with Brazilian designers Fernando & Humberto CAMPANA. The subject was to create a micro-architecture with recycled plastic bottles only. We decide to cut the bottles into transversal slices which are then easily assembled into a kind of wide net. The whole is sculptured to create an aquatic arbor which is animated by light and wind. This concept was chosen by F&H Campana to realize their exhibition called Garrafa in the Art Centre « La Maréchalerie » in Versailles.

CHAM is a french association of volunteers which aims at the restoration of architectural patrimony. During the summer 2010, I participated in to the rehabilitation of a roman crypt in Vosges Mountains. The building was a roman crypt build during 14th century. Its structure was made of stone voults without any cement. Our work consisted in the reinforcement of an exterior wall, and the cleaning and strengthening of the graves.

la ville en un souffle. paris, france, 2011. architecture festival Every year, the non-profit association called Bellastock organizes an architectural festival in Paris to experiment a new way of construction. In 2011, the festival was hosted in la Bruyères-sur-Oise, a town in the Val-d’Oise department, close to Paris. It consisted in an inflated ephemeral city. With this structure made of air and textile, the settlement was bound together thanks to a unique air blow. Despite the complexity of such a project, it was a big success with the participation of more than 1,300 people. Each team had a limited amount of material and would make a micro-architecure that will be connected to this plastic city.
