A folly is a decorative or attractive structure intended to complement a garden. There are 26 follies in Parc de la Villette (Paris 19st), which are evenly scattered across the park on an imaginary grid They're meant to help visitors in gaining a sense of direction and navigating throughout the space.
The main cube measure 10,8 x 10,8 m, which is then subdivided into 27 smaller cubes of 3,6 m each side.In the geometrical creation of each folie, some of the smaller cubes are subtracted, some are presented as an emptied tridimensional grid. The final form was created according to several possible actions (repetition, fragmentation, intersection, qualification and distortion).
My folie serves as an introduction to the neighborhood's history as well as to showcase upcoming local projects or events. Instqlling on the Ourcq canal, this folie unveils to visitors panoramic views over the area.
Location: Paris 19th district
The old Laumière power station is a historic site in the city of Paris, a heritage of industrial architecture dedicated to electrical equipment. Its location in the heart of the 19th arrondissement.
Within this historically significant building, the establishment of a Fablab, a creative space, an open workshop accessible to the public, equipped with standard and digital fabrication tools (wood and metal cutting, 3D printing, etc.) allows individuals, whether alone or in groups, to design and realize creative and innovative projects. The new extension will be designed as a resource center serving social connections. It will integrate various dynamics such as shared manufacturing workshops (open spaces for exchange, experimentation, and production) and co-coworking spaces (collaborative workspaces). On the top floor, there is a shared terrace that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the horizontal view of Paris.
The architectural proposal leverages the entirety of the existing spaces by reconfiguring them to create a unique and innovative space for Paris. The entire existing volume (almost 4,000 m3) will be utilized and restructured to facilitate collective and shared use. Certain existing elements will be preserved, such as the street-facing facade, the column framework...

The integration, or addition, of modern architecture into a historic district is important on various scales, including that of an urban sector, a street, and its neighbors. This principle applies to all types of buildings, and the dojo is no exception. On one hand, there is architectural heritage characterized by variations, sharp geometric decompositions, such as those seen in the works of architect Renaudie or Liégat by René Gailhoustet, representing a parametric architecture with facades linked by arches sheltering walkways. On the other hand, I am designing a dojo, which serves both martial arts and zen practices. Therefore, I must consider simple volumes, plan balance, and a sober quality of visual atmospheres, aiming to create a convivial and meditative ambiance. Finally, I am exploring the origami concept as a solution to this design challenge.
Externally, I would like to retain local characteristics, especially in the geometric play with the roof. Internally, my goal is to eliminate frames to create a refined, sober environment.
An advantage of my origami structure is its ability to create various openings, acting as frames that capture different views of the park. For instance, at the back of the combat room, there is a large, bright bay window.

MR1 Clubhouse is part of a grand new urban area, located in Long An, which serves its private residents. ( Local people and city dwellers with low budget).Following the demands of project investors, it would include a fitness center, yoga room and a large pool outdoor. It also include a range of entertainment facilities: barbecue terrace, coffee shop and children's playground…
Taking into account the ecosystem and cultural context of the local, I would like to make room for players and guests to gather and socialize together. For that reason, it's not only dedicated to welcoming sporty players but also encouraging people to play sports. Training and workout, then take a soft drink with a group of friends, people would be spontaneously immersed in a positive vibe, which helps to balance the fast pace of urban life.

*Organised by the Cité de l’Architecture & du Patrimoine (Architecture and Heritage City of Paris), the 2020 Mini Maousse competition is set in an environmental context and proposes a collective reflection forthedefenceofnature,startingfromtheissueofwater.EachcandidatehastodesigntheAquabane,a floatingcabinbetweentwobanks(river,stream,lake,bay)witharchitecturethatrespectstheenvironment and its uses on an island of under 50 m2.
A microarchitecture project is forming in the terrain between the beach of Nevers and the tern island: a pontoon designed as a blend of forces in movement and contemplation. A smooth transition between volumes, circulations, and views of the landscape was desired throughout the design stage. The notion of variation of heights and framings was kept in order to maximize the possibilities of the location. The idea comprises a spherical observatory with a pontoon in the middle surrounded by a place of exchange and crossroads (of ideas, books, meditation, conviviality, culture…), a poetic micro-architecture bearing ecological values. Regarding the ecology of the project, i have taken into account the aspects of sustainability mainly with regard to the choice of materials and the possibility of a modular structure which can also be prefabricated.
