spatiality Rhythm Ligne Temporality
Talking about space can be done through the body study: the contours echo back those of the space or thwart them ... By scenographing this in a small volume held in a box, the relationship between living and inert takes another dimension. Below is a picture from one point of view of the inside of the box. This scenography expresses the relationship between body and lines and is a 3D collage of black and white pictures, drawings and text used as a graphic element.

Through photography, time can lengthen and moments superimpose themselves to enhance a temporality. This is expressing the movement by what is fixed, talking about the time by immortalizing a moment. On the right, a few pictures from my photography portfolio about the different rhythms existing in a city. Superimposing architectural rhythms gives a vibration effect. Living in a city is living with the city’s rhythm, being part of it : what exists a few moments ago is maybe not still here... These pictures express city’s moments.
The body interacts with space totally and permanently. Chosing the best point of view to express a space is as important as knowing how to approach to appreciate details or, conversely, more away to capture the whole space. Drawing an imaginated space can free ourselves from drawing conventions: overcoming plans and prospects to express another qualifity of space. Even the body is a space in itself, almost a landscape through its structure, shapes, fullness and emptiness...

The first year internship in Ireland was an opportunity to observe how a 15-hectare historical Garden and Arboretum could be integrated into a National Park and make good use of the dramatic landscape surrounding it. The National Park becomes part of the Garden. The boundaries are not physical ones but actually the furthest you can look at the view. My job during these two months was mainly basic maintenance like cleaning, weeding, watering...

The second-year internship at the North Carolina Botanical Garden was a demonstration of the art of creating a garden combining aesthetics and educational purposes. In order to show the different habitats of North Carolina, this garden uses native plants and offers the opportunity to take a fresh look at those too often considered as weeds. Its success is the result of concerted work by the horticultural and conservation departments in which I performed a variety of tasks, from planting ÂŤrescuesÂť to building new paths and beds...

Exploring a territory and giving ourselves the means to understand a landscape at a larger scale is the main goal of the field trip in the Causses, CĂŠvennes and Aubrac, hilly regions in South of France. Geology, soil science, botany, history ... entries in landscape are numerous but it is only by understanding the information they provide that you get to read a whole territory.

The interdisciplinary field trip in Belle-Ile en Mer is an opportunity to observe the notions studied in geography, botany and soil science: the Atlantic coast is composed of various particular habitats in which people and plants have adapted themselves or even take advantage of the difficult conditions related to wind, salt ... All observations are reconciled in a logbook in which layout, drawings and texts are produced simultaneously on site.

This land is the result of physical constraints, in particular, soil types: here lies a mosaic of soil from sand to silt and clay. Very wet soils in Great Sologne become drier in the part of Sologne where wine is produced thanks to porous sand and a limestone bottom. The omnipresence of water is obvious through wetlands and fish ponds.

Highlights Mapping
Deer Chase Garden is a wide property in North Carolina whose owners are fond of gardens and use their place as much for private uses than to entertain important fund raising parties. The first job was to record points with topographical gear in order to create the whole map of this garden, still unexisting despite the complexity and the high interest of such a place. Then followed both a hand and a computer aided rendering of the map. I also worked on highlighting through watercolor drawings some features of the different outdoor rooms. Those drawings and renderings are currently used on a website dedicated to this garden.

There are multiple approaches to design a project, but usually commercial isn’t the first one we think about. However, in the case of the conception of a stand in a Fair, the commercial aspect is quite central and partnerships make the project evolves at every step of the conception process.
Tthe relationship between the designer and the partner, who knows its products best, aims to be as complementary as possible to make the most of every opportunity, and produce an ephemeral What kind of methodology space that speaks to designers and meets its is the most suitable for commercial goals.

Parc de la Croix-Montoire historical features contemporary garden
Bühler
The gist of this second year project is to inspire cheerfulness and vitality to a ‘back’ space that will soon become a ‘front’, while paying attention to uses and practical needs. The cedar forest is enhanced by the creation of a ‘hedge garden’ punctuating the discovery of the place. Buhler Park is not forgotten: its quality and heritage trees deserve a requalification through the collectively proposed management plan. The function of ‘outdoor lounge’ for the terrace is reinterpreted in a contemporary way and participates in the history and the identity of the place.

The back space of Blois’ castle, a wide sloping terrace, currently seems somewhat abandoned. However, it provides a unique view of Blois and could be the focus of landscaping. The council aims to develop a project that combines gardens, sculpture exhibition and relaxation areas. My proposal focuses on highlighting an old fountain from which gardens of Renaissance inspiration would extend. Building some terraces facilitates access and allows everyone to enjoy the view and a shaded area, highly appreciated as the courtyard of the castle is entirely mineral.

Cimetery art-architecure-landscape
Landscape and memory
VeteransChapel memorial Hill
This project was designed by a multidisciplinary team (an architect, an artist and a landscape architect). In the middle of Chapel Hill cimetery was a very poorly designed space used for ceremonies. The town wanted to create a real outdoor room with a memorial for the Veterans : a place celebrating a common memory. The process was divided in five steps, each punctuated by a meeting between the design team and the committee. I have been part of three of those. I worked on the design with the landscape architect and was also on charge of the graphic rendering for the whole team. On the second meeting, we presented three sketches (each one keeping the specificity of its designer) that you can see on the left page. On the third one, we worked on a new design and presented the one on the right page that we kept improving until the fourth meeting.

Outdoor rooms drainage and topo
Japanese style
Contemporary Renovation
The owners did a lot of renovation on this deck house and added a porch. These constructions were an a opportunity to rethink their garden. A major concern dictating the design was to improve the drainage because this house is on a slope and the pool acts somewhat like a concrete dam. A second concern was to rethink the car access to the house. The garden is thought as a successions of ourdoor rooms, giving an echo to the inside organization of the house. The strong axis gets from the former entry to the dining room. We strengthen it by creating a japanese-style Garden with two small overflowing basins. On the left, as a connection with the new porch, a patio is
created with two flights of stairs leading to the lawn, hold by a wall. A light boardwalk allows to get from the wall level to the main lounge (which is at a higher level than the other parts of the house). The front and the side of the house are rarely used and seem to need a more natural aesthetic. On the front side of the house, a steep slope leads to a wetland and small intermittent source. We enhance this wet character and keep the japanese style. I took part in every stages of this project: from the site analysis, the design ( both artistic and technical aspects of drainage and topography ) and its drawing on autocad. I was responsible for all the graphic renderings and presented the project at the meeting with the owners.

This small house in the historical district of Chapel Hill has a poorly organized backyard which doesn’t allow its owners to park their two cars and enjoy this space with a sense of intimity. I minimized the slope where the cars park and expand the access of the parking space using a stone retaining wall that also helps reducing the visual impact of the parking. A flight of steps leads to the upper part of the backyard,
redesigned as a garden. The beautiful oak was too big an opportunity not to organize the Garden around it with four small alleys crossing at its center. I proposed two new patios : a brick patio (Herrington pattern with dividing bands) used as a terrace for outdoor entertaining and an informal extension of the patio (flagstones and a brick border). The sense of privacy is enhanced by a variety of plantings to screen.

Renovation of Rochambeau district Vendôme
Rochambeau was an old military camp in Vendôme turned into wasteland. Local councilors want to reinvest the buildings to create a mixed neighborhood (housing, rest-home, exhibition hall, studios...). Creating new uses for a dynamic, rethinking space, enhancing the Loir’s banks and architectural heritage are some of the issues of this project.
Blocks are connected by Loir’s banks walks and perpendicular ‘hooks’.

Even though Rochambeau is a wasteland, it keeps some charms that could be enhanced before the entire neighborhood will be under construction for the new project. A lighting project is one of these actions which could lead the population to have a new look at this area. Sounds also have great importance : many sites can be recognized through identical sounds and every place has its own accoustic : on the right, a graphic rendering of two thirty-minute listening sessions in two different spaces.

The overall goal for the Visitor Education Center is to provide a gateway into the Garden by helping to focus visitors’ attention by creating a sense of place and continuity of experience through the Garden. Thus, the proposed design intends to be inviting, interactive, engaging and invoking exploration in children and adults, while remaining accessible to all.
It also establishes a model of sustainable development by a design that places a value on all living things; using hardscape in a way that fades into the landscape and enhance natural features. Several site issues, such as drainage, are also adressed in the design. Materials are being part of the discussions and charts are used as a methodical way to ease choices. We also estimated costs for each budget.

Manga Pirau lagoon community series of incarnations
Ephemeral durable
ever changing world The western civilisation has been built over centuries on the idea of developing a prosperous, durable, everlasting world. The character of the architecture and the way we settle in a landscape are a great expression of this idea. Is it possible to shift our mind about this? Can we imagine another way to settle in an ever-changing world, creating some experiences helping us to be more aware of our environment, and thus be more prepared to those changes? The pine forest acts as an ante-room for one of the most striking landscape of this coastal area of New Zealand : the bowl, formerly called Manga Pirau lagoon. However, this dry, flat and sandy land doesn’t look in any way like a lagoon: it has been metamorphosed. Through this entities meanders Waikawa River, which has constantly be realigned and its mouth has been moving north and south over a kilometre. During the winter, the bowl is flooded by ten centimetres whereas during the summer, the bowl looks very dry. We are dealing with an ever-changing site. «Ephemeral, durable and make a second last an eternity» refers to the emphasize on time I do through my design : the present expands
34
in the bowl, but also plays about the concept of ephemerally and durability for the structure itself, but also the houses taking place there and the ritual of construction of ephemeral buildings. The core of my project is composed by a wooden structure supporting a boardwalk which runs into the site and leads to a group of ephemeral community buildings. They will be rebuilt regularly, adjusting to people’s need, creating a series of incarnation of architecture. Then, later in time, a ritual of constructing more ephemeral buildings could take place. The uses and the shapes of these buildings may change over time, maybe leading to a more durable settlement. These places will be not only a base for the community to be : the process by which they are created cement relationships and pass on construction skills to the next generations. The whole project evolves also on a longer time period through a virtuous cycle of material uses on site. The construction of the boardwalk and the ephemeral buildings use the pine trees present on site, allowing the forest to be replaced over time by better quality trees.

[3] - the board walk being the base to settle lightly in this quick shifting environment
I created a scenario : a sequence of different events that could occur on site and here is the way it would impact the development of the design over time, What is important to understand is that the growth of this settlement is incremental but is also allows the deconstruction of part of the design when it isn't used any more. The structure/the project couldn’t only take advantages on the site. Also, the board-walk and system on piles disturbs the site as less a possible. The site needed also to take advantages from the human presence. Not only it help hosting events that can greatly help the site restoration/improvement/gain of knowledge, but also, from an ecological point of view, the fact that there are some remaining frames (when dismantling living modules) might create small new habitats because natural materials would accumulate, thus providing shelter for small species. From a human point of view, It would help people realize the changes of our environment, be more in contact with nature, it makes the bowl experience last longer : it is a stopping place, and even an “aim� to walk, not only a place we cross to reach the sea shore.

Autism final year project
My project aims to be more ambitious, even experimental, concerning autism disorder. Thus, I introduce a second heart by including a group of autistic people living permanently in the property in the former school complex. Between these two poles, the castle and the space dedicated to autistic people, beneficial tensions occur.

As my subject is mainly about autism, it is from their perspective that is developed a kind of route which takes them of the intimate, orderly, small heart to the bigger and more complex, public outside world... This course is made in three stages, the stakes being: educating, healing and sharing. ouvert,
The sensory garden offers a kaleidoscope of sensations, optical atmospheres, smells, and colors... I am not aiming to offer an «exhaustive» sampling of sensation but rather a variety. A path is a branch, a fragment of the route which meaning is held by the solidity of the whole : each of the gardens proposes a different environment, offering itself to specific explorations. But there is a methodology inherent to the specificity of the autism: the need to be in a quiet place before bringing a sensation; that is why the intermediate spaces are neutral, very uncluttered.

s d’intégration sensorielle
These poles are constituted by people which needs and objectives are quite different. The autistic people need to be helped, taking into account their learnings, sensory and relational difficulties. The rest of the public want to take advantage of the qualities of the site ( a glorified park) and, if they wish, open themself to the difference : the handicap.
« Je luttais pour utiliser le langage du monde, afin de décrire une façon de penser, d’être, d’expérimenter, pour laquelle ce monde ne nous donne ni mots, ni concepts. »
« Je suis une femme puzzle. Je suis fragmentée. Je ne vois pas l’ensemble. »
perception littérale : C’est «voir» des choses sans les interpréter ou les comprendre. Aucun concept ne naît de la sensation. Ils voient le monde comme il est vraiment, d’une certaine façon.
perception gestaltiste : Ils souffrent d’une incapacité à distinguer les informations de premier plan et celle d’arrière plan. perception Ils ne peuvent discriminer les stimuli déformée : l’espace, pertinents. Lorsqu’une personne le son, la forme peuvent être change un détail, c’est la scène déformés, ce qui empire souvent entière qui n’est plus familière en cas de surexcitation nerveuse ou pour la personne de surcharge d’information. Certains autiste. autistes semblent voir le monde en agnosie deux dimensions, d’autres ont une sensorielle : ce vision double, l’espace peut se terme définit la difficulté à dilater ou au contraire se interpréter un sens. La personne rétrécir... se retrouve noyée par des stimuli sensoriels à une vitesse ne permettant pas de faire face. Elle éprouve alors des sensations sans signification. En état d’angoisse sensorielle, elle peut agir comme si elle avait perception vraiment perdu ses f r a g m e n t é e:les sens. autistes n’arrivent pas à « découper » leur vision gestaltiste en « morceaux signifiants » et peinent donc à interpréter les objets, les personnes et l’environnement comme constituant d’une situation globale. Leur hyper/ attention reste fixée sur des morceaux l’hyposensibilité souvent dépourvus de sens, ou en L’hypersensibilité est due au à un tout cas du sens que nous canal sensoriel trop ouvert : il y a trop de leur donnons. stimulations arrivant au cerveau pour pouvoir être traitées. Au contraire, en hyposensibilité, le canal est trop fermé, privant le cerveau de stimulations, ce qui est néfaste pour son fonctionnement. les informations ne parviennent pas en quantité suffisante au cerveau qui semble alors vide et arrête de traiter l’information. Les autistes semblent alors ne rien voir ni ne rien entendre. En conséquence, ils s’autostimulent afin de faire parvenir des informations à leur cerveau pour « le relancer ». Parfois, le canal fonctionne mal et « grésille », créant ses propres stimulations.
My ambition in this work is to rethink the landscape from an other perspective, without trying to bring it back towards the normality; my project tries to sketch landscaped spaces to accompany autistic people on the way of self-fulfillment. This project requires to write two stories at the same time, to articulate two approaches: the landscape and a subject which was unknown for me : autism. hypersensibilité visuelle
The chosen site is a 7 ha park nested in the heart of the Auge valley, in Normandy. It is the property of an association promoting the integration of the disabled people. The functioning of the site is influenced by a strong central pulsation: the main courtyard is the beating heart of the park, but engender a tendency to condense everything, thus abandoning the rest of the park. It is necessary to distribute the activities so that everything is not supported by the same place. There are potentialities, in particular in the abandoned spaces: the vision périphérique
perception gestaltiste
perception fragmentée
surcharge sensorielle: elle peut conduire à l’hypersensibilité mais peut aussi survenir indépendamment. Il se produit alors une accumulation de connaissances non reconnues engendrant parfois une fermeture totale du système. L’agnosie sensorielle survient.
What was rewarding in this project, was to invent a landscape while submitting myself to a sensibility which we ignore. The genius loci, so important to landscape architect, had few power at thr small scale because it is the particular needs for the autistic that dictated the architecture of the project, and not the spirit of the place. Nevertheless, it always prevailed on a larger scale in the articulation of elements and the way they interfere with the surrounding territory, conferring its unique character.
des activités d’accueil d’un public handicapé
perception différée : c’est le délai induit par le traitement de l’information. Donner un sens au monde demande alors une véritable réflexion. Or, les autistes ne savent pas généraliser, ni appliquer ce qu’ils ont appris à d’autres situations. Tout prend alors plus de temps puisqu’il faut traiter l’information de façon totale à chaque fois que la situation diffère légèrement.
