“The sun never knew how wonderful it was,” the architect Louis Kahn said, “until it fell on the wall of a building.” Jun’ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows
The present book is made as a portfolio but I like to describe it as the book of my bachelor degree. Throughout every single final drawing I’ve made, every single jury I’ve passed, and every single discussion I’ve had, I learned something. Drawing for days without even sleeping, reading books until I knew every single project, travelling the world and picturing it, learning from people from everywhere; architecture is not only about drawing walls, I think it is about trying to understand the world better and to change it into a place anyone could belong to.

01
house for a single artist
This little studio is made for a writer who needed it for temporary use. Its location, near the abbey of Villers-La-Ville, Belgium, far from any neighbourhood and surrounded by a few trees is pretty good for isolation and thinking.

finite city
What if tomorrow the world as we know it just stopped working? Earth has limited ressources and we all live as it will be able to satisfy all our needs indefinitly. Our way of living is what we care the most about and we don’t want to change it. But a small group of people just isolated themselves in the «Quartier Nord» of Brussels and erected a wall all around. A small but radical act that has much more consequences than they first thought1...

parliamentarium
In the utopian ideology of the finite city, everything has changed. Nothing we ever knew is the same. Parliamentarium is now the place where people meet, talk, and decide. A stone shelter in the middle of glass buildings.
