Kasbah 3: The National Memorial / The Kasbah, Tunis

Thesis project | E.N.A.U 2017

Creating an event on the scale of the revolution can’t inevitably eliminate a large part of the memory of the place and even going as far as distorting the imprints of predecessors. The day after a revolution called the "jasmine revolution" by some or the "revolution of dignity" by others, the resurrection of a nation that escaped from obscurity following a revolt against an authoritarian regime, wanted to make of the Kasbah a part of memory

This place also became a symbol of the revolution through the sit-ins it took place there in the wake of the 2011 events a connu dans la foulée des événements 2011.

Today, under the aegis of a democratic regime, where the power is up to the people, the traces of this event or this historical transition are not really apparent to visitors in the Kasbah. Unlike other previous eras, We are also faced with the obligation to interpret the revolutionary and post-revolutionary phases and to reconstruct all the memory of this journey, while respecting the memory of this place.

The void occupies the center of the place of government. This elliptical shape symbolizes the absence, the loss of memory or oblivion. Inside the memorial, the void becomes the only source of light that illuminates the darkness of the underground This gesture will give birth to a large central space: The hall of freedom. The vertical statue of the memorial will be generated by the spiral movement of the visitors

The central hall of the memorial, the hall of liberty, or the hall of freedom is the intermediate room between the exterior and the memorial. This space is for gathering, debate, relaxation and expression The central hall is located in the center of the government square. A projection of photos of the nation's martyrs will be installed on the walls of the Hall of Liberty.

The living Museum / Orani, Italy

Italy| International Architecture Competition Terraviva 2021.

In response to the museum needs to be more connected to its urban setting, Our project proposal subscribes as a bridge between the museum and the village of Urania; to reinforce the dialogue between the two landmarks; the accommodation pavilions are physically anchored at a junction point between the church at the center of the village and the natural landscape in the west of the site at the end of an urban parkour Therefore, The project is an extension of the museum, designed to be facing the village; a screen/mirror, projecting the architectural identity of Orani’s, and reflecting it’s landscape

The integration

Taking the path from the museum, a mountainous path covered with olive trees leading to a project that reveals itself gradually: First, the plaza as a platform on a high flat ground, being the element that gives access to the accommodation units, designed around an open-air stand and olive trees, the plaza is the first screen, offering a complete view on the village Then the accommodation units, arranged one next to the other on different angle, creating the second screen with its glazed mirrored facade: it is visually reflecting the landscape of Orani

The accommodation pavilion is designed as a multifunctional and adaptable space, offering spacial diversity, to the future visitors, tourist or resident artists. The Unit is divided into a succession of space going gradually from more common spaces to semi-private to intimate: The first layer is a set back glazed curtain-wall the offers a view on the village and on the plaza, creating a window on the landscape The second layer of the unit offering access to the space, is an open common space: Formally, it hugs the olive trees present on the site, creating an opening in the volume; it represents the one element that physically and visually connect the units to each others, it offers intimacy, but call for social interaction, gathering, temporary exhibition... The third and final layer is divided vertically into two spaces: the residential space where a living private area is arranged, still connected to its immediate environment, but offering intimacy, it gives access to the bedroom, isolated, sound proofed and buried into the landscape with its private garden. Finally comes the artist workspace, with a private access, a curved wall shapes the form of the space, creating a visual obstacle for privacy, and offering a framed scene on the plaza and on the village.

The units: the form

The shapes of the units took for me following a natural existing element: the sacred olive trees, to counter there placement in the site, the units bends and goes around them, and blend into the natural environment: they are sculpted into the site. The openings in the architectural volume create a green screen in each façade, the windows are shaped with reference to the Nivola museum, as it is an extension that has a source and grows from it. With the green roof as a final screen, the units are partially buried in the mountain, as if they were excavated from it, blending into the landscape as an existing part of it.

The units: the Materials

The materials used highlight the degree of privacy of each space according to its function: the rocky road that leads to the plaza going in-between the existing trees. The existing retaining wall, reinforced to support the units as they are maintaining the ground behind it, it also plays the role of a separating screen and an access point between the plaza and the units. The colors used in the private accommodation space and the artist workplace gives identity to the space: reflecting the diversity of the future visitors/tourists and suggests a feeling of appropriation: creating a contrast with the purity of form and of materials used in the more common space of the units. The use of materials aims to represent a space that welcomes social interaction in a serene architectural and natural environment.

Crowned Carthage / Carthage, Tunis - Bernard Tschumi Architects

Tunisia| International Architecture Competition Expertise France 2023

Placed along the Cardo Decumanus, these pavilions are designed somewhat like vegetated "boats" floating on the sea of ruins still buried beneath the site.

The project consists of three distinct but identical small circular pavilions (the "crowns"), housing carefully selected parts of the program.

These pavilions are designed to be directly placed on the ground and self-stable, thus requiring no foundations

The pavilions will be prefabricated on-site or in a factory using low-carbon concrete and made of repetitive elements, making them easily dismantlable if they need to be moved for archaeological reasons

The dimensions of the pavilions would be approximately 25 meters in diameter and 7.2 meters in height, providing a footprint of 500 square meters while allowing for a rooftop level The choice of these three pavilions' dimensions was based on their internal flexibility and ease of strategic placement among the historic buildings on the site.

Within the pavilions, you will find the restaurant or the auditorium with their planted terrace A circular sunshade with ribbed fabric accentuates the pavilions' lightness, and they can also be partially open depending on the seasons Functionally, the pavilion adjacent to the Place de l'Unesco serves as a welcome center and boutique with a panoramic restaurant on the upper floor. About thirty meters to the southeast is the cultural center The third pavilion is dedicated to temporary exhibitions, while the permanent collections are housed in the two wings of the preserved former seminary.

In the existing buildings, we wanted to celebrate the extraordinary panorama, so we have opened a large glass bay in the southeast corner of the grand exhibition gallery and made the existing roof (200 square meters) accessible to visitors as a landscaped terrace, providing a 360-degree panoramic view

A succession of terraces

The site is also strongly marked by a succession of Roman terraces that offer incredible panoramas of the surrounding landscape. We propose that these terraces be clearly delineated and that the flooring materials receive special attention

The chosen palette of materials is intentionally limited in order to maintain overall coherence.

We primarily propose using natural stone, gravel, and stabilized surfaces. Following the fantastic work of Pikionis in Athens, we suggest reusing materials found on site Long benches are installed on these revealed terraces to enjoy the surrounding panorama. The plantings in the Eucalyptus and Pine Avenue and the St. Louis balcony are completed.

A new base for the UNESCO Square

Following the same logic, the UNESCO Square is designed as a new base extending from the cathedral facade to the new museum entrance. A stepped platform incorporating a ramp is used to manage the level differences. The remaining area of the square, which is currently very mineral, is generously planted The goal is to extend the plantings from the hill Under this new canopy, the drop off area for taxis and buses is organized below the new visitor center

Design competition of media library and a municipal health center / Fontenay-sous-Bois, France

France | Architecture Competition

Fontenay-sous-Bois 2019

The town of Fontenay-sous-Bois plans to build a new Media Library and a new Municipal Health Center (CMS) on a site consisting of an existing building

Through these changes, the municipality is implementing: A large-scale urban project which involves, in particular, the demolition of the current Media Library which constitutes a lock due to its position in the urban space A modernization and compliance project for 2 of its major public facilities. Indeed, in their configurations and their architectures, very constrained and unsuitable, the current premises of these facilities no longer allow them to respond to the evolution of their missions and their audiences.

The new equipment is a real showcase on the scale of the city and the territory, but totally focused on the pleasure and comfort of use of its users The quality of natural light, the ease of location and movement, the intimacy of the places of consultation, the tranquility of the workspaces, the conviviality of the shared places are found in all the poles of the program The spaces with triple orientation and largely glazed allow to benefit from remarkable views of the entire environment

Mass Plan

The Media Library, the Health Center and the Orange building operate differently, which could lead to the project being split up into three distinct operations We have favored the integration of the three programs into an overall architectural unit. Within this unique ensemble, each piece of equipment has its own access. There is no interference between programs They are all brought together within the architectural composition but are not subject to any constraint from the neighboring program.

The wooden structure design mode allows free trays to be freed up and fully scalable, and to guarantee very fast delivery times with a dry construction site with low nuisance for the neighborhood.

Operation of 40 collective dwellings / Champs-sur-Marne, France

France | Architecture Competition

I3F- Mairie Champs-sur-Marne 2019

The site of the project is remarkably located at the area between the Avenue des Pyramides, an important axis serving the west of the city, the alley Irene and Fréderic Joliot Curie for residential purposes and the school complex bordered by a pedestrian path . The built block of the current car park completely locks the island and isolates the various fabrics that border it

The demolition gives the opportunity to open up new perspectives and makes it possible to imagine an operation that will really contribute to the coherence and enhancement of the urban ensemble. The significant difference in height and the plant reinforcement along the avenue are also essential elements to integrate the project into the site. The main lines of composition of the operation are based on several simple objectives

Create a new perspective through the project, giving a view of its plant heart from the public roads and promoting the visual opening up of the school group

Reconnecting the site with the neighborhood by creating a new green perspective is one of the basics of the project. Like a vegetal axe around which the accommodations and their private gardens are articulated This high forest in the heart of the project offers a friendly, lively collective space open to the city, so the nature contributes to the development of the site while integrating the ramp of the disabled path.

This built implantation, allows an important preservation of the existing vegetation of the site The particular topography of the site is an asset The project tends to enhance it and include it in the life of the district by adapting it as much as possible to the various roads that border it

The pedestrian path is associated with the project by a soft and landscaped connection of the embankment, introducing a secondary pedestrian access, diffused like a path for schoolchildren The Avenue des Pyramides being a major axis, it is emerging as the main access to the project.

Development of the AUCHAN site VALSUD / Valencienne, France

France | Urbain Project Valencienne 2019

The site called “Auchan VALSUD” extends over approximately 5 hectares to the south of Valenciennes. ‘’Auchan Retail France’’ has owned and operated the AUCHAN “Valenciennes Sud” shopping center since the early 1970s This shopping center has experienced measured commercial developments over time. Today, this center turned towards itself, is aging and obsolete. Over the past ten years, reflections have been undertaken by Auchan to renovate, rebuild and revitalize the site, without however validating a diversification of its initial programming

The Productive roof of Auchan allows the development of a productive green roof The sloping or stepped treatment of this roof would make it possible to highlight this innovative roof from Avenue G. Pompidou.

A new ground is reconstituted in the continuity of the ground of the Chemin des Bourgeois The differences in levels are The steep slope of the terrain is thus blurred. This new ground allows, without major earthworks or earth moving, to build 2 mezzanine levels dedicated mainly to parking. They make it possible to meet the significant need for parking on the site, both for Auchan and for the housing programs

ZAC de la Charmeraie : Urban Renewal Project / Boissy-Saint-Léger (94)

France | Urbain Project Boissy-Saint-Léger 2019

The purpose of the operation is to create a Concerted Development Zone on the premises of the Boissy 2 shopping center in Boissy-Saint-Léger Covering an area of 6 9 hectares, this project aims to create approximately 60,000 m² of housing, shops at the ground of buildings, facilities, activities and quality public spaces. The town of BoissySaint-Léger had 16,572 inhabitants on January 1, 2014, more than half of whom lived in the Haie Griselle district.

Designed to operate autonomously, this district hosts a number of public facilities: two school groups, a social center, kindergarten, and family center, a secondary school, a swimming pool, a center sports, a gymnasium, a library, a cinema, a performance hall, a gym, a multimedia center, the post office and the police station..

Constraints : An attractive public square with a kiosk, a place of conviviality A square crossed by a peaceful service road The concept: A place like a clearing in the Inhabited Wood The intentions of the project A mire of groves bringing together seating, lighting and equipment for a living place Perspective view of the square
29
Perspective view from the garden
Mass plan

One of the main challenges with the demolition of the shopping center is to be able to make the new district in the continuity of this landscape quality which must constitute the common thread of the overall coherence Thus, to continue this peaceful atmosphere where only the pedestrian paths, labyrinthine curves, come to ensure the service of the district, it seems important to us to introduce, at least, the car to ensure safety and serenity This extension of the inhabited park makes it possible to free up large spaces on the ground which will be open and accessible to all,

Emergence composition

These emergences will be more significant (up to R+6+attic) along the main structuring axes and major public spaces of the district: Place of Forum, pedestrian Mall and Avenue Charles De Gaulle In the heart of the ZAC, the more discreet emergences (up to R+5), come to energize the fabric while consolidating a human scale to the Inhabited Park

In order to lighten the silhouette and obtain a certain slenderness in the buildings, the emergences occupy a smaller surface than the lower floors They will take the form of blocks with a maximum length limited to 25 m. In the case of a construction with several emergences, the distance between these attics must be greater than or equal to the height, i.e. H=L.

The Artists Village in Djerba / Djerba, Tunisia

Tuinsia | Workshop

Vernacular Architecture workshop February /2015

This project was finished in the second year, as part of a workshop in the island of Djerba An introduction to vernacular architecture, the material and immaterial this very specific

the fauna, the flora, and the mode of environmental integration Thus, we were able to see the method of construction and the different techniques, while doing an experiment on the various building implementation.

The workshop is an introduction to sociology and its strong link with the architecture of the place. This experience is also a personal journey into the world of minimalism and simplicity, where the notion of beauty is environment.

The project consists of designing a small village of artists in a site located in Midoun, a region of Djerba Artists spend long stays there, work in painting and sculpture workshops, and exhibit their work to the public, village can also train young artists, allowing them to and live as a team

Mass plan
Reception area

Axonometric view: The integration of the village into its environment

While respecting the minimalist spirit of the place, the shape, the color and the light, the intervention should retain this spirit which has given the space a charm and an extraordinary capacity to contain the different functions proposed in the program. This allows artists to perceive the light, the material and the nature as they are, and work in a pure atmosphere

Stairs

Impressed by the quality of light, contrast and shadow in the vernacular Djerbian house, the intervention targets to compose with these immaterial elements, in order to create living spaces and spaces of transitions with a greater spiritual dimension. Starting with a simple geometric module to create walls that filter light and enhance the perception of light and contrast in the different corners of the village.

The program contains three main parts:

- The administration with a large reception area.

- Accommodations for artists, The accommodations can be rented (In order to ensure the financial continuity for the village)

- -Workshops and training workshops, with varied exhibition spaces,

The Virtual restitution

This individual work allowed me to imagine ruined monuments that I visited, in their initial states. Traveling through time has become possible thanks to this restitution technique. The concept is very useful for completely demolished monuments, and difficult to imagine given their current state The restitution projects that I have carried out take place in several stages, such as the visit of the monuments, the identification, the modeling with work on the specific details and finally the superimposition with the real photos The goal is to install panels in archaeological sites to help visitors better understand these ruined monuments.
