The project is located in a fictitious context designed by the Faculty and made up of various projects by major architects as well as groups of dwellings formed by 4 or 5 plots. A group of plots defines a common urbanism which generates pre-established volumes, each house is then developed and designed by each architect independently of each other. The objective of the master plan is thus to design an imagined city. The order of the program is the design of a single family house for four people as well as an additional element, a surprise element, a ÂŤsomething extraÂť for each dwelling.

The house is located in a grouping of 4 houses arranged in staggered rows according to a grid and placed on stilts. On the ground floor, there is a guest room which is disconnected from the rest of the house with its own access. Following the logic of the grid, the resulting general volume is a square house 7.5m wide.

The living space, located on the second level, is an open square that allows you to enjoy the crossing views that give one side on the city and the other towards the wood. The structural column acts as a column which structures the spaces and accentuates the quadrangular grid. The differentiation of the spaces is not to create a difference in height materialized on the ground, which mirrors a change in height for the spaces on the first level, devoted to parents.

On the ground floor the small house can accommodate two people. Completely independent, it benefits from direct access to the common space shared by the 4 houses. The last level is dedicated to children, designed as a modular space that allows sharing or privatizing the space as desired.

The collective terrace is a large mineral space punctuated by gardens and patios, shared by the four houses. However, each of the houses is connected to a garden and a patio which makes it possible to characterize and own spaces for each family.

ĂŠcole nationale supĂŠrieur des arts du cirque

The project is located in the Anderlecht district, one of the 19 municipalities of Brussels. Near the Saint-Guidon metro station, a plot is made available by the city to establish a new school of circus arts. The area in which the project is implanted has recently experienced a new dynamism which this new school would further encourage. The plot, located opposite the Place de la Vaillance where the Saints-Pierre-et-Guidon church in Anderlecht is located, occupies a strategic position able of generating flows which will accentuate the regeneration of the neighborhood. The challenge is therefore to offer new equipment to the Anderlecht residents who will come to settle in the fairest way to interact with its context.

The ground floor is treated in total transparency to allow interaction with outside. Each side has an entrance which allows to circulate and cross the building easily. The cafeteria is connected to the school forecourt where locals are invited to hang out. The library is also an invitation to Anderlecht’s residents to come and document & learn about the circus arts, it is located opposite the Place de la Vaillance to allow it more visibility.
The visual interaction on the ground floor is also found on the upper floors. Large glass walls allow school students to enjoy lighted spaces that offer through views.

These visual crossings are interior and exterior, allowing both outside passersby and school occupants to access visual sequences. This idea of ÂŤ seeing and being seen Âť is a direct nod to the concept of circus.

The school becomes a new landmarkon the scale of the district and the city. Le projet offre un équipement public en cohésion avec son contexte en jouant sur un dialogue volumétrique avec la l’église SaintsPierre-et-Guidon, permettant de redynamiser la place de la Vaillance et ses alentours.
Micromega 34
The Micromega studio, based in the ULB architecture school, proposes a large range of cities to study. From Delhi to Miami, and from Charleroi to Detroit, its research is based on the correlation of micro and mega scales. The project is located in Charleroi, Belgium. The aim is about investigate on what a city is with various tools : map, zoom, analysis on many subjects and many buildings. This study is only possible by the correlation of scales; which leads to have a study of urban context by comparing elements at both the micro and macro scale. This belief is based on the theory of the Spanish architect Sola Morales. He talks about ÂŤ Acupunctural Architecture Âť which means that by a small intervention, or better, a punctual intervention in the city, its impact would be wider and will reach an urban scale.

The question of programming naturally turned to housing since one of the conclusions of the analyzes was that the city today suffered from a lack of inhabitants in the center and that housing was lacking. In addition to housing, the addition of a complementary program on the ground floor to restore the coffee that was lost ten years ago in a fire.

The plot is located at the large crossroads of two major streets in the city, Boulevard Joseph Tirou and Rue du pont le neuf. The site therefore occupies a strategic position, since it is located in the southern part of the lower town, you can quickly access the city center but also the rest of the city by the close connection to the ring.

The coffee which occupies the ground floor is treated transparently and allows a visual connection to the coffee course from the street. This interaction is different depending on the street by which we approach the building, we glimpse the course through a breach on one side, transparently on the other.

The large excavated hollows generate common terraces which activate sharing between people living in. The circulation in the building is marked by views and sequences between interior and exterior and connects the shared spaces. Finally, the first desire is to offer collective housing that can potentially make the carolos want to return living downtown. The project could thus have a wider impact and reach an urban scale.
Avenue Buyl 121 48
The project is located on the ULB campus to provide missing housing. Residents of the neighborhood rarely go to the campus, which does not currently have public space in dialogue with the city. To this double problem, the project responds with a double gesture : delimiting and opening up. The inhabited wall : it wants by its implantation to allow its residents to be as much citizens as dwellers of a campus. The manifest esplanade : a public space for interaction and demonstration with and towards the city. This blank signals the entrance to the campus and becomes the point of contact between the campus and the neighborhood.

La cohabitation entre les étudiants du campus de l’ULB et les habitants d’Ixelles ne semble pas facile. En même temps, les habitants du quartier se rendent peu sur le campus, qui ne dispose pas, aujourd’hui, d’ espace public en dialogue avec la ville.

The Hive 58
Elaborte a new way of housing on campus appears today to be a challenge that many architects are trying to challenge. But what does it mean to live in a university these days? The cohabitation between the students of the ULB campus and the inhabitants of Ixelles does not seem easy, which illustrates a fairly frequent situation. The project responds to this with a thin building which acts as a vertical street and forms the link between the campus and the city, allowing the student to be a city dweller like any other resident of Ixelles. The main objective is to provide accommodation for students and researchers, but not only, the aim is also to be able to accommodate other profiles. To bring this diversity together as a community, a set of facilities and services activates sharing between the inhabitants.

The gangway allows to alternate the ciculation on two levels while crossing the building as well as to release the facade. The structural grid defines a through module which allows all the dwellings to benefit from views towards the city and the campus thanks to a double exposure.
The gangway becomes an extension and appropriation space for each accommodation and acts as a common terrace for all the inhabitants. This allows to bring the circulation space to life and to envisage it as a shared place which acts as a vertical street within the project.

The expression of the structural grid appears in front thanks to the total windows. Each window then appears as a single cell, all of these cells form a first layer. The second skin formed by the gangway leaks with the first layer and activates sharing and life in the project : this is the hive.
Museum aan de Stroom 72
As part of the HTC atelier (history theory critique), this project is a proposal for an update of the current MAS museum (museum aan de Stroom) in Antwerp. The approach here was to highlight the positive points of the current MAS as well as its black points. This in order to propose an alternative project if the museum had not yet been built and its order would arrive today. The project responds to this synthesis with a mechanical aesthetic which pays homage to the technical language of the port of Antwerp. This museum machine which is proposed allows to manage the flows and produce fluidity in the museum’s route. The structure is rejected outside and the free trays it generates allow scenography exploration in the museum. This is in response to the permeability and fluidity between circulation and exhibition spaces in the museum.

The circulation allows to manage the flows in a mechanical and free way at the same time, the visitor can let himself be carried by the rise of Antwerp’s skyline or stop on the landing and explore the level on which it is located. View of Antwerp and exhibition spaces intertwine, the visitor explores the past of Antwerp while looking towards its future.

The technical and mechanical aesthetics provide spaces in which the art can fully express itself, the collection is sufficient in itself as an ornament. The furniture pattern offers a way of exploration in the enhancement of the art on display. This allows multiple configurations and does not freeze the collections and offers a strategy of demonstrations evolving over time. The technical elements of the projects participate in organizing the space, the elevator as a silo which crosses the buildings and gives a point of reference on each levels, a technical sheath which flirts with the organization of the exhibition plan.

The panoramic roof completes the visit with a 360-degree view of the city, the port and the world. This recreational space offers a panoramic bar, chill areas for relaxation and a large free space that allows several uses : stop, stroll, look, listen... etc.

The ground floor brings together all the welcoming functions of the museum, it is treated in total transparency, some walls may even disappear depending on the season. This ground floor is connected to its public space, a large versatile esplanade which can host several types of events: a concert, a market, a projection. In the evening, Antwerp residents can stop by and admire the sunset that crosses the museum.
