Brick Pavilion Clay brick is a traditional building material used all around the world. With this pavilion, the clay brick is introduced in a modern use, a traditional technic shaping new elements. The Insulated Monolith Brick (IMB) is a 2.5m tall element doing all the functions of a facade: insulated, rain screen, structure and finish. Premade by extrusion in factory, it is a ready to use component.
The pavilion is like a mysterious object in the nature, yellow and shiny, making it difficult for the walker to guess what material is used. In fact, this pavilion expresses how versatile the IMB can be, really shiny and colorful on the outside, mate and natural in the inside. To understand which material the pavilion is made of, the visitor must get inside.

Pushing forward the experimentation with clay, the material is also used to make the roof. Inspired by how the wall is made, layers of concrete, clay and insulation make another sandwich panel to cover the top of each building.
Tramway factory
U4 factory is an old blast furnace, converted into a museum, a piece of French history. Setting up a tramway factory on this site had multiple benefits. The situation in the heart of Europe allows the factory to get steel from the factories in Luxemburg and Germany and to deliver new tramways. The old factory is split in multiple buildings; each one has its own function from melting metals and ores to storage. There are two ways to go from one to another, footbridges for people or on the ground for heavy materials.
assembly, storage and the administration. Storage and assembly buildings share the same structure, a regular module with shed roofs, catching the north light. The regularity of the structure allows possible to extend or change the purpose of the building in the future.
The administration building is in the same pattern, but differs by its structure, and is connected to the two other buildings by footbridges. Walking on footbridges leads you to the first floor of the main hall assembly like in a train station, the elevated location allows The tramway factory uses the same language people to embrace the view. as the U4 to play with it, three buildings for
Sport complex
The complex puts together a swimming pool, a diving pool, a gymnasium, a dojo and a basketball court. This basketball court comes as a strong signal in the project, cantilevered from the first floor, it marks the entrance of the building.
Inside, the water complex uses the ground floor while the other sports are upstairs. They all can enjoy an outside space to relax or do sports thanks to large opening windows.

University extension
How could the architecture school of Marne la Vallée welcome twice as much students? From this statement, the project explores a way to extend the school. The campus is built with a strong unity, all the buildings have the same height, making it invisible from the highway or the train station nearby. The extension of the architecture school became a landmark in this landscape, going high above the ground. This way, the campus can be seen, but also students from this « school of the city and territories » can apprehend what territory really is. This new part of the building also provides new facilities like workshops for 1:1 scale models, restaurants but also rooms for associations.
Between wood and city Clamart is a city in the south of Paris next to a wood and on the slope of a hill. The site itself is between the dense city, the park and city’s equipments. The project offers two different ways to live in the city: the first one, built on the street is more urban, with smaller flats and shed the rest of the site. It enjoys a view from the front facade on the park and on the garden in the back. It also welcomes a children day-care on
the ground floor, with the entrance on the street and a playground on the garden side. The second building is behind, in the private garden and welcomes larger appartments for families. To show this progression between street and garden, materials play along. Starting with white concrete on the street and wooden blinds to end with a complete wooden structure onto the garden.

Suspended roof - structure optimization
In association with the engineer school, the project explores structural capacity of a suspended roof. The complete project is a three dimensional structure suspended to posts with wires. The roof is 60*45m suspended to 8 posts. The roof is designed in steel for its good reaction to stress but also to keep all the elements as light as possible.
With different tools we have been able to adjust the structure to many parameters like the weight of the snow, the wind or the stress. Using hand calculation for a first approach, we have then used computer model to get precise results. 3D structures are really complex for computers, so we also worked with simplified models to test various parameters.
Here is the test of a part of the structural sheet where a wire is attached. On the first model, we can see two red bars and one deep green. The red ones are under too much traction and would break while the green one is under compression and could buckle. On the second one, two diagonals were added to split efforts into the structure and put more bars into stress.
Shaping sunlight - Conputational Design
How to design a roof that could protect a street from the sunlight in an optimal way? For this project we used a datascape to design the roof, collecting the amount of light on different points from a few hours everyday day. The street was geotagged near Paris. The size of the holes is in direct relation with the amount of sunlight in one of these points. The idea was to have some parts with more structure than holes and progressively move to a ÂŤ more holes than structure roof Âť, creating stripes instead of round holes.
Collecting vetors of light : application point, direction, intensity. Intensity is given by the diameter of the base.
Isolation of the application points.
Making curves out of the points, from these curves the surface has been generated.
Shaping the points into spheres to make holes in the surfaces. Diameters of the spheres are inversely proportionnal to the amount of light.
Design thinking - the gazebo Needs This project was team made, mixing architect and engineer students. On one side, we had requirement decided by the D.School and on the other side, needs from the users. The purpose of the D.School is to create inovation throunght the bottom up approach. For those, we went around, asking questions to different people: from students, to researchers but also administratives. The goal was to improve the public space of the campus, leading people to meet in this new space. In case of success, the project would be run again, making this into a global urban tactic on the campus. Each different population had different needs, but some point were heard often, the basic uses like sitting, having a table to eat or write. But researchers also wanted a blackboard to write their ideas if needed. We had also the list of material beforehand, so the structure was also thought with this in mind, in addition to the time to build it, and our skills. Architects would draw plans and engineers would made the calculations to check if the structure is resistant enough to people and to the wind.

Solution The final shape is an internalized structure, where benchs, posts and roof are all working together. The roof is based on a mathematical form called Dupin’s Cyclide, where every nod
is flat, without any torsion. The construction phase lasted less than two weeks and the result was a big success on the campus. There is now another one built for another university.
Pimp my Descartes The Bellastock association worked with Champs-sur-Marne to create a new public space for the students. Pimp my Descartes was part of a larger scheme, including different events on the campus, from food trucks competition to exhibitions. As part of a campus association, I was also involved in the preparation of this event. On a grass field in the middle of the universities, Bellastock planned a place that could welcome events like concerts or plays. There were five different programs including a stage, seats, a bar and a relaxing area. Realization was completed in four days, each team had a part of the worksite. First day was planned to be used for drawing, planning and testing ideas. We had all the material already on site, so we could make some tests and prototypes. From the second day to the end, we built all of the project, and the last evening a party was organized to celebrate this new public space of the campus. This is built for five years, then offices and housing will be built there.
My team was working on the stage. We decided to split it in three parts, using the natural shape of the ground. We thought it for DJs, bands and even plays, with spaces large enough to welcome people, instruments but also theater sets. The machine to dig holes was only available for a day, so first part was to plan the main structure. Then making it solid enough, and in the end, planning bracing to avoid the structure from falling during an event.
Exploring cities
What do I like when traveling? I like to feel the atmosphere. Cities are like living creatures, with their own moods and personalities. Travelling to only visit museums is not enough to get to know a new city. So I wander in the streets, get lost (sometimes for real) and end up in unexpected neighborhoods. It is even better to follow a local inhabitant, and let him show me a place he loves.
