Objective I graduated M.Arch in 2015, in France and I passed a post-diploma in November 2016, by writing an essay focused on time in architectural design processes. At the same time, I completed two years of work experience, in a Lyon based architecture studio, where we had special care on public projects. After that, I worked in an architecture office in Paris, on two competitions both laureated. I would now like to be part of an innovative workplace in Denmark. I’m willing to get involved into a job that could combine a young and singular office and sustainable design processes. I’m an inquisitive and a diligent person, enjoying team work and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

_give the place back The public square of Place Mazas is one of the most exceptional place in the heart of Paris which is today a totally vacant space. The connection between this place and the pedestrian zone is a lack. This place is currently located in the middle of majors politicals projects of Paris city council : the Paris Olympics games in 2024, a urban park along the river and the renewal of the car circulation. So in the beginning of 2017 this site came out for an open architecture competition.

Our team for this project is composed by laisné roussel office’s from Paris, the New York based architecture studio SOIL, a developer and a lot of emergents structures in the fields of culture and social development The name « L’Atelier de l’Arsenal » came from the location of the project. It affirms its continuity with the Arsenal canal between Bastille and the river which is one of the major axis of Haussmannien’s Paris master plan.

This continuity leads also the volume’s shapes and the programs’ distribution. A multifunctional building will be create in the continuity of the canal. It will be composed by a co-working space, a congress room, an exposition place, a workshop machine and a homeless people care centre. Then in the alignment of the existent block, a housing building will be place. It will be co-living social accommodations. We designed every building with a timber structure. A real work has been done on public spaces. The goal for this project is to give this square back to Parisians. On different layers, l’Atelier de l’Arsenal will create a place of full life, with the different squares, the connection to the water along the canal and the view of Paris from the rooftop. The innovation of this project is its temporality. Indeed, if after 12 years, inhabitants or city council finds a new idea for this area , every structure could be unbuilt in order to build a new project. Everything is removable. Laureate in July 2017

_organic renewal
010
For my two last year of architecture studies, I decided to join the Master AACC (Architectural Ambiances and Constructive Cultures). This specialization is focused on the nowadays questions of urban expansion, environmental protection, climate changes, social evolutions and how architects and engineers may design surrounding those issues. To answer that, we collaborated with a multidisciplinary teachers team, composed of architects, economists, urban planners, acousticians, construction engineers and sustainable development engineers. The subject focus on housing, and with it, all questions on inhabitants uses, linked to everyday life and living together. With Agathe and Camille, my two friend and co-worker, we decided to work on a district of Grenoble called L’Esplanade. This place is at the entrance of the city, between the Chartreuse (a mountain) and the Isère (a river.) Besides this favorable location, the Esplanade is knowing for the motorway which cut it from the rest of the city. As a weak area on economic, social and urban plans, it has been the center of an urban renovation project five years ago. But the current inhabitants of the Esplanade cancelled the project because they thought it was a too strong change and they had been completely set apart.

organic
In this project, we really wanted to propose an organic renewal of the Esplanade area through a step-by-step project focus on inhabitant well-being conditions, at all stages and all scales. On urban scale, it converged on program mixing, on public spaces, on links to natural landscape (city and mountains) and on spatial limit treatments. On building scale, we focused on inhabitant comfort, specifically on thermic, acoustic and lighting questions but also on appropriation and privacy. In our design, we tried to deepen technical aspects, like materials life-cycles, a natural ventilation system and construction details, to offer a well living environment for inhabitants rather than searching performances. We strived us to identify sustainable potentials, like wind and the microclimate analysis, and use it as design tools. We tried to raise project values and reach a simple and sustainable project, but never by increasing the cost. To sum up, we considered our project as an interlinking of various experimentations on different scales, from urban project to technical details in order to provide a true comfort of living in the Esplanade district. This project allied holistic and sustainability approaches but also permited simple settings that allowed appropriation by everyone.

This project came out after the unbuilt of a R+1 car park. In order to contrast with the densely high neighbourhood, of R+12 height towers, we suggest a R+5 square base building, set on a park. The project fits into the existing urban logic’s but is also projected into the heart of an inhabited park. To continue with this idea, we had a special care on the facade design. We draw generous balconies in order to extend interior spaces to the exterior : live in the trees. Those balconies will encircle the building with different width depending on uses and orientations. This concept is emphasized by the rails design. We wanted it to be made with an important thickness for different uses (gardener, bench, storage). This projet will have equipped balconies.

balconies
We also took a special attention to the housing plans drawings. For the interior spaces, we wanted it to have the same quality as the exterior ones. We designed multi-oriented dwellings, with living rooms in the building’s angles, in order to enable natural ventilation. With the square base, we also strived to get a rational plan, with a clear reading of it. The facade with the clear apparent structure of the balconies will give to the project an interesting identity and singularity. I was the project manager for this competition. For two months we had numerous meetings with the developer in order to structure the project’s concepts. After that I also had different talks with the engineers and the graphic designer for the views. Laureate in September 2017

The southern district of Lyon : Confluence, is currently undergoing an important urban renewal. The goal of this second part of the global project, is to define a neighbourhood which is both permeable and highly dense, composed of various housing typologies, offices and shops. All of this, is based on innovation on sustainable city and questions of nowadays way of living. With those elements, the Paris based architecture studio LAN (Local Architecture Network) asked us to be part of their team for the competition of "L’ilot B2". In order to make a real collaboration between our two offices, I went to Paris, for two month, and worked with them, at their office on this competition. Quickly, we focused our work on the site analysis, the program’s redefinition and also the volume reshaping, through different elements : _redistribute the program’s elements in order to increase the qualities of the project (relations to public spaces, natural light into spaces) _widen the courtyard size so as to become a real lung for the block _maximize the porosity between buildings

windows
Next, we concentrated on another subject : windows. In Lyon, they usually have a generous dimension and a monumental scale. We decided to use this window concept as start point of the facade design by an abstraction process. The idea was to blur if behind each window, there are one or three floors. This long work on facade design was always focused on housing qualities too. The idea was to bring the same advantages on those windows that we can have in countryside houses. Next, we designed more precisely the block’s landscape. Indeed, for this second part of urban renewal, there are two types of spaces that will define the district unity and identity : narrow streets and inner courtyards. This is why, we designed a densely planted area at the heart of the project. Then each gap between each plot will make a semi-public path in order to access to the building entrance. This experience into another office, except the discovery of a new architecture vision, allowed me to learn a lot about the way of leading a competition,.

The city of Valence had the project of the extension on the Armenian Heritage Museum. It will allow to the upcomming visitors, some various activities in addition of the existing permanent exhibition area. It will composed of a reception area, temporary exhibition areas, a relaxation area, administration offices and a conference room of 96 seats, into a 1100 square meter building. The project will take place both in the rehabilitation of an old elementary school, already locate on the field, and also in the construction of a building which will make the link between the current museum and the rehabilitation. The reception area, at the ground floor, will be entirely glaze and it will be highlight by a cantilever set on the first floor. On the side, a vertical circulation will serve all of the floors, and will make the link with

the rehabilitated school. The project will be cap by a contemporary volume with a special treatment of the texture facade. It will composed of prefabricated concrete elements, both full and perforated. It will permit to make the unity of the project but also to manage the interior natural light. The facade will also be rythm by the different widths of those panels. We spent long time on the matrice design, with numeric and scale-one models supports. Finally the design will seem like a concrete lace. The interleaving links will make nodes that will remind us different civilization sculptures (Armenian Khatchkars, Islamic geometrical ornaments or also cathedral windows) This design will have the main goal to bring together different civilizations and to offer an universal image of the new Armenian Heritage Museum of Valence.

_natural light In 2014, the Lyon Publics Transports firm began a spread of new agencies in the city center. As a result, this owner decided to entrust y.architectes with the design of a new agency in an old bookstore at Place Bellecour in the heart of Lyon city center. This project had to group the tickets sales but also offices for the regulation system of the subway. This 600 square meters project, was really complex. It developed spaces on two floor. It had also the particularity that the underground floors extends under the neighbour building courtyard, with no natural light. However some people had to work here so we have to be really focused on this problem of illumination and safe air renewing. So we developed the projet around a patio at the back, which makes a visual point of view to the exterior for everyone who works here and allows a spot of safe air for the ventilation system. We also designed a generous staircase at the front, near the large windows, which guides public visitors into the underground floor but also guarantees a large input of light. For this project, I moslty worked on the construction site follow up. I attended all of construction site’s meetings and I wrote weekly detailed reports until the project delivery.

_first gig At the beginning of 2016, a private developer asked us to restructure an old building in Lyon. The program was simple : 15 student accommodations, generally 18 or 19 square meters, with a bed room, a small furnitured kitchen and a bathroom. The existing building, a former workshop, was composed of one big room at the ground floor with a generous height, and some existing rooms at the first level. With the significant number of units that we had to create, into a constrained space, we decided to design thin units with a mezzanine at the ground floor, and some classic units at the first floor. I began project studies with the first sketches. I also lead client’s meetings, until construction plans and economic analysis were finalised. This mission allowed me to manage all of project’s steps, both in design and client relation. This project was really important for me, because it was the first time I was a project manager.

_build it together In 2014, I moved to the Architecture School of Lyon, in order to participate in a shared Master between the schools of Lyon and Grenoble. In this Master, we specially introduced a strong relation with materials through experimentations and initiations to machining and wood and steel assembly techniques. For this, we builded a scale one project, in Les Grands Ateliers de l’Isle d’Abeau (France near Lyon) with the objective of designing temporary student accommodation. This experience was very interesting and powerful and it shaped my architectural point of view, by the direct relation with materials but also by team works and community life during the semester.

_some eggs soon At the end of the 2016 summer, my friend Camille De Gaulmyn and I started the design of a hen-houses for my parents. Since the beginning of the project, we gave to ourselves one rule : "we will only use one type of material, a 22x200mm pine wood plank". We really like this kind of plank because it is not an expensive or luxurious material, (often use for making concrete walls) while those planks still have architectural potentials. But this material is raw and so we decided to use the wood protection Japanese technique, shou-sugi-ban, also named burnt wood. This technique consists of burning the plank first layer, in order to make a natural protection. So we designed the structure, prepared all of the burnt wood planks and also builded the structure during our week-ends. It was long and kind of a DIY building but we learned a lot, often through our mistakes (like angle cuts or the difficulty with the field slope).

_sequence shot Those projects are an extract of a work with my friend Paul Gomez and with the support of the Canadian film artist Emmanuel Licha. For the first project we worked on the idea of live images through the invention of a semiautonomous machine focused on the behaviour of "subjects" (in other words the spectators). This project was based on the entanglement of different rooms, each one using different sound or video transmission systems. It was however not a final result, but rather it was an extract from a process. In performing an experiment where the viewer is an actor, the challenge is to push the reflection on the various issues involved, such as video surveillance systems, the perception of the other, and the uses of images. In order to be more coherent, we decided to don’t record any videos during the experimentation. This work echoes to Dan Graham’s work in the

70’s on image perceptions through various experiments of this kind, with visual and sound transmission systems, involving viewers. For this second experimentation, we worked on a gap between the action and the scene, and the idea of living in urban spaces. A sequence shot of 8 minutes crossed a part of Paris, and be catch when it found an unusual action such as a man who shaves him in the street for example. The work on the project also focused on the projection itself by broadcasting the video on a street wall in the evening. During the presentation, we also created a live sound laboratory (in reference to the work of Katie Mitchell’s in the staging of «Kristin, nach Fräulein Julie»). Through the use of everyday objects, using it like music instruments, we created in live the sound effects. The silent film became alive by taking the sounds of the urban environment as a backdrop.

slowness
_slowness excuse This subject came out from two years of practice into y.architectes, a Lyon based arhitecture studio and with it, all of moments which made my experience. The architect, in his daily work is constantly confronted to the emergency. Emergency of render deadlines, competitions or invitations, to sum up a continuous emergency. The subject here, is not to make a simple judgement of speed. I rather try to understand the different concepts that lead to this emergency. And, in view of the challenges which are ahead, I wonder if this way of working keeps the overrall architectural approaches.
042
Is there another way of working ? An alternative method ? In the design process ? In the office management ? With less stress ? With less standardization ? With the possibility of feed the projet with other domains ? Experimenting ? And also have pleasure ? To answer to those questions, I relied on my experiences, but also on readings, and I pointed 8 mains ideas. Each one allowed me to raised one element of my experience that I wanted to positioned myself on it. It began from elements voluntarily out of architecture, like gastronomy or philosophy.
Then, step by step, it got closer to architecture and I tried to point out how my future practice could be. This prism of time, in architectural design process and the question of slowness appeared to me like a revelation and never like a militant act of the slowdown of time. I think that the contemporary architectural practice is beginning to change. The goal of this reflection is to allowed me to positioned myself on the current architectural landscape, in order to define my own way of work. This question of time, can also be read like an excuse to stop me and positioned myself on my experiences. An excuse to also meet, read, looking for some architects, philosophers, projects, collectives and other ways of thinking, that I don’t had the time to do. It also questioned sustainability, project managements and people relationships. Like a deadline, this redaction demands allowed me to formalized my ideas in one moment. However, this thinking is also a long process. Each future experiences or meetings, will allow me to continue this research. These eight ideas made here eight « excuses » to think on eight elements of my practice. But it’s just the beginning of the process.
