LE FORUM Architectural Mobile Project This project related to my memory whose subject was mobile architecture.

It is a wooden structure, assembled using Colson rings to make it easily assembled and disassembled.

I used this area as an exhibition area to present my final project of my second master degree year.

Thereafter, I used it to make a social area in a scout camp in Italy.

Thanks to the two existing modules, it is possible to create a different space of infinity, and that, to accommodate a multitude of functions. This is both a shelter, a sculpture, a multipurpose space, an area of exhibition and expression ... The goal is to travel and change of use over time.

FRAG CHAIR

12

This versatile project can serve as both chair and table. With two module and one panel of wood it is possible to create a low or high table. The dimensions are designed to correspond to the size of a dining table or an high table for drinks.

I kept the same idea as my nomadic project, the advantage here is focused on the concept of modularity. This project complements the mobile space to include the furniture to make it more functional.

GEOMETRIK CHAIR This chair has two strong points : simplicity of execution and low usage of materials, which enables a non negligible cost reduction. The challenge was to design a chair built from a single MDF panel (18 x 122 x 244 mm), a few Lamello, and some glue. Three dimensional models were initially assembled in order to select the final shape and to check the chair’s stability. Dimensions are based on my height (1m80), which implies that smaller persons might feel slightly uncomfortable.

INTIMACY CELL As part of the «Human cities» festival, the «Académie Royale des beaux-Arts de Bruxelles» has organized the workshop «Intimacy cell, a break on an urban walk circuit».

This was a teamwork project. We first created our cell in the «Bois de la Cambre».

Our concept can be set up almost anywhere, as long as poles or trees are available in the surroundings. We later created the cell at the «Mont des Arts», a leisure and passing-by spot.
