l’envers du décor
final major project
- k.de rycke & a.kofler (2017)
with M.Bregigeon
After investigating the cultural events phenomenon in Paris, besides the large buildings the city equipped itself with over the last 100 years to ensure its « city of light »status. It turned out that if it is easy today to consume cultural events in Paris, the possibilities of its production and creation are limited. This project set up in a large abandoned parking building located in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, in order to reactivate it through cultural events considered as a social activities catalyst, that can make a building attractive and intensive once again. The building presents itself as a large hybrid machine that gives access to the cultural events « behind scenes », in a society where we are more and more in favor of the ready-toconsume, to wear, to watch, immediately, everywhere and without effort. It is thus a large building mainly focused on cultural events production, but that still advocate diversity by integrating an accumulation of small-scale events spaces as experimental theatres, small music halls, galleries, projection rooms etc…. A Large building that interacts with its context before trying to emancipate itself from it.

capa-city
master i
- k.de rycke & i.taillandier (2016)
with M.Bregigeon,A.Ellermets and A.Legrand
It has been observed over time that cities which survived the centuries, wars and technological revolutions possessed an ability to feel a shift and anticipate political, urban and architectural change. For us, a city capable of renewing itself and its identity requires not only a sense of innovation, but also actual space, a flexible spatial organisation able to deal with change. For this city project, We developed a system that would anticipate a lack or excess of space, while minimizing consumption of ressources. Based on programming gaps at different scales, from building to territory, these voids allow adjacent areas to become denser while maintaining the quality of life in the « compact city ». It is made up of several layers: grid, waterways, building strips and gap spaces.

memoria contuitus expectatio 120 hours competition (2015)
with H.De Chassey & J.Zwygart
Experimental preservation of Pyramiden, a deserted Russian settlment on the arctic archipelago of Svalbardt, Norway. What are the traces of the past that define Pyramiden? For us it is not only about buildings merely laid-down on the ground, ghostly reminders of a mining village but also about the actual structure of the ground affected by the mining activity of the past. In memory of that, this project’s gesture takes foundation in the continuation of the mountain and unfurls over Pyramiden, partly submerging it. The village is thus divided into two levels by a floor that acts as a blanket to freeze out of its context the memory of the site.

collective housing
bachelor iii
- p.rahm (2015)
How can we deal with the antipodal aspect of collective housing, which must be both rigid and flexible. Rigid in it’s economy of means, construction and it’s pooling objectives. Flexible in the housing it needs to provide in order to support a large diversity and freedom in the way of living. For this purpose I set up a structural logic allowing to have a manageable layout giving out different typologies faithful to the same spaces qualities as corner living rooms or servant spaces following the structure for example.

a building how many lives
bachelor iii
- r.scoffier (2015)
with H.De Chassey & J.Zwygart
This project deals with the rehabilitation of one of the famous Parisian landmarks in order to change its function. Since It’s construction in 1973, the Montparnasse Tower has cut Paris from any new construction resembling a tower. So how do we make Parisians accept the concept of the Skyscraper once again ? One answer would be allowing the Montparnasse tower, this autistic object completely closed to it’s city today, to open and elevate itself like a vertical road. By removing it’s opaque glass façade and a few floors, narrowing its core and creating a continuous pathway, the tower opens itself to the public by giving to the ground what has been taken from the sky.
