Project approach
Listen, Addapt, evolve, combine
As a student, I have experienced many different scales and many directives. Each of them made me adapt my tools to approach and to create a project. I believe that each project comes with its own experiences and representation manners and that my methods have to adapt themselves, evolve and combine to be the most relevent they can be to create first but also to communicate at different actors.
Getting in the scale This is the for me an important step to take. Being able to represent myself at any scale concerning the project. It calls for heavy abstraction, but I can feel now that I am able to represent myself in a 1/50 scale as well as 1/25000. To do so, I use my life territory. I measure places I know by heart, compare them to the ones I work on and manage to feel the scale.

Meeting with the site
testing model
I have experience to ways of meeting the site : • Physically, without other information that my senses. • In a folder, with information, maps, and google street views. I believe that mixing both approaches are important. The first to feel the scale, the second to understand the context more widely.

It can be anything, but it is always closely linked to the site. Sometimes, it happens that the principal drawing first starter is less important at the end that at the beginning, but I believe that they all contribute in a way. I always try to be open at any new idea coming along and ready to drop out something that becomes irrelevant. History diagram

Mind drawing
Share and communicate I believe in several ways of presenting a project. For me it has to be really close to the process and adapted to the people we are presenting it to. I usually do it with slides, panels and have lately experienced it by video.
Verifiing, prooving, changing This must be the most challenging part of a project. Here is often the moment when we have to be inventive. Also, I believe it’s the moment when you have to exchange with other, explain and listen to what they understand, what they would do. I try to verify the ideas all along the reflection process as it often gives more than it takes from the project. For me measuring, thinking ahead of the presentation and the creation is really important.

With a batch of antracit grey slabs, we had to design a terrasse of 12m². We opted for a brownfield ambiance, using 5 recycled barils and some different size volcano rocks. The plant holder were shaped in a way to create depth and generate intimacy. A lightweight and scattered vegetation were selected with a great range of shades to contrast with the structure and the stones. Our team won the Jury’s First Prize and the Public’s Heart-throb prize. Layout drawing

Recalling the aesthetic exterior of the village bye creating different levels, the project unites modernity with the spirit of the region. Allying mineral lines with vegetal curves, the atmosphere is homely and relaxing. Step by step, the residents can enjoy the different levels, each one proposing a unique atmosphere, specific uses and large panoramic views across the valley.

We work with three administrative localities on the revalurisation of tourism of Mont Brouilly. The first steps were to do a survey of its actual condition, to pinpoint the zones needing to be worked on and to draw up our project which we then presented at a public enquiry. After this rich experience, discovering what was missing and the good things found, we planned the work site and carried out our projects. All the propose projects were carried out under the philosophy of recyling and a collaborative work site. No waste was thrown away and no materials were brought in. Ground layout of the mont

The demand was to propose the implantation of an alternative residential area. One that could disappear without wasting the land. This proposition, offers 10 housing units of 50m² with a 30m² private garden each. They were disposed in a way to group the energy entries and to benefit of a good sun exposition.

My part was to cut with the fragmentation leading to a disuse of the plaza and answer to the population needs of outdoor activities. Therefore, I transformed the plaza from a divided, fenced, overcrowded to an open space, proposing five different ambiance, each one, calling for different outdoor activities. No physical display are separating them. I used topography and tree density to mark the sensation of different places. Most importantly, I proposed to spin the outdated underground swimming pool by 43째. That way, it proposed a new grid to the plaza, and offered new possibilities to organise the city square. I could also offer a new dimension of the pool more adapted to parisian needs. Cuts and isolation existing plaza

In 2013, I had the occasion to enrol in the Europan 12 contest during a six-week internship at Griesmar Architecture Agency in Nice (south of France). Our team was composed by French, Italian, Lithuanian Architects and two Spanish Landscape Designer. We worked in English most of the time.
My work concerned the integration of some buildings. I studied the architectural customs of Finland leading me to use the source rock and the topography as part of the building.. Also, I chose to work on the green axis expension between the two most important parks of Helsinki. Finally, I have produced the different layout explanation sketches presented on the project panel.

We have been asked to work on a cultivated plot, today used not for agriculture but to maintain an open space in the north part of the airport. Quickly, we felt that we had to think wider, taking care of the urban fringe and the Bourget airport, today used for private flights. That way, we proposed an urban park to re-qualify the urban fringe, to value the stream and transform the highway into a tramway and cycling axis.
Thats me!
Also, we have chosen to maintain agricultural activities on the upper part and expend it on the airport plots between the runways, making it an «Aeroagricultural» park. There we could imagine new activities and new ways of doing agricultural work, maybe using drones., linking the air with the ground. Realisation : C. Duffy, C. Lecuru, H.Zhang, G.

There, is a 69,8ha unused land available (black shape). This plot is located on the flood plain of the Marne river. Here, I was asked to think about a new residential area on a fallow ground of 27ha. I decided to mix different type of housing, with public spaces, cultural and leisure devices, offices, and a multimodal transportation station leading to Paris. More importantly, I had to deal with the flood risk and decided to make it a spectacale more than a obstacle using topography.

Sauter During the third semester at ENSP Versailles, I studied the landscape of a French administrative sector, the «canton.» of Ouzouer-sur-Loire. The one I chose is a rural region with 6 villages, Orléans Domanial forest on the north part, the Loire river in the south and a Nuclear power station. During 6 month, I observed these landscapes, studied their origins, and talked to the local inhabitants and those employed on the land.

Once I took stock of the region, I was able to profile and pinpoint the landscape and territorial issues, highlight the opportunities and point to the problematic changements. That way, I was able to debate about this land’s future and to propose some visions that would conscile landscape identity with the urban and touristic pressure as far as the disappearance of the Nuclear power station in the near future.

On an iron bar, that recalls the ancient railway that existed there, I marked out the noticeable limits along the path. If one portion of the corridor is an open space above the city roofs, the other is densely wooded and swallowed up beneath the skyline of the town. The spiral created by the iron thread translates the mouvements of my eyes depending on the limits and configuration of the space.
To counterbalance the spiral I used a patch of grassland as a control for the density of the vegetation in the shape and sensation of this walkway.

With eighteen other students from l’ENSP Versailles, we were invited to reinstate the original slope that had disappeared due to its exploitation as a gravel pit. To do so, we collected some blue plastic thread used in vinyards all over the region and which we used in 38 meter-long stretches of thread to recreate the impression of a slope from the top of the pit to the other side of the road.

This structure was not only visible from inside the gravel pit but also from the top and along a path leading to the top of the pit.

Sketch of the gravel pit The construction of this structure has been exalting. The energy that everyone put into carrying out this huge piece of work made it possible to complete it in a day. The result was more than satisfying and the impression of the slope was palpable. More over, entering the installation from road level was a really sensitive experience. The impression of having a roof over our head and being under the slope delighted the public, even more so when ,by suprise the threads disappeared along with the clouds, allowing us to see the blue sky.
