ACADEMIA SCIENTIARUM Master I University of MontrĂŠal 12 weeks MontrĂŠal / Canada Tutor : Fabrizio Gallanti
La Tour et la Plateforme. Science center
The volumetric research began with a strong distinction between a vertical element and a horizontal element. Some formal work has been applied to give the right dimension between the two elements and also with the surrounding buildings. The horizontal element is strongly anchored on the site, it fully adapts to topography thank to number of stilts that follows the slope. The stilts get more or less dense to open the shape and providing access to the outside or the contrary
the public, it is the only space in the complex where visitors are allowed so there is clear and distinct access. In other words, this academy is an ode to science, and an allegory of knowledge. I used the symbolic aspect of elevation of the erudite through space and through knowledge.
The building host a Science Academy: a research facility, administrative offices, housing for the scientist, variety of activities (restaurants coffee shop etc.) and a science museum. About the distribution, the research facility takes place in the tower, the only access is from the loop, only the scientist have access to the tower. The rest of the activities take place in the loop. While drawing that scientific complex the idea was to give the scientist a privileged place to work in, and the best atmosphere for discovery and research. The museum is a diffusion and awareness place for

Analysis, theorie and reflexions about urbanism.
The premise of this project was about research, about exploring in our expertise the principle of the city, discovering what a city is made of. We explored through models the theory of micro situations, and we established tinny arrangements that made sense for us, that we could use as urban principles. Three major steps structured our work, the first one was about concept, the second one was about perception and the third one was about urban irrigation, about flow. Then we composed scenarii, we assemble those models together and analyse what exude from it. After the theoretical part we became more tangible and drew a plot using all the concept we established before.

80 housing in apartments buildings.
In housing, how to reconcile the formal aspect, the architectural quality, life’s quality, space and light ? After a study on the break, the slant and the pivot, the building fans out over the floors. It is the product of a dialogue between formal and sculptural aesthetics, interior architectural quality and the context in which it operates. This building is a singular object which generates a particular way of living. In a search of space and light, the apartments benefit from long windows opening onto private terraces. Those glazing are free of walls or any partition. The walls are design to limits but never to closed, thus each apartment is open to space and light.

URBAN GENERATOR Bachelor II Versailles School of Architecture 12 weeks Saint Ouen / France Tutors : Francois Chas & Radim Louda Coordination : Jean Patrice Calori 12 weeks Co-workers : Apolline Senechal Manon Loquin Tom Floquet
Reading and writing the city.
Reading the city. After an analytic phase of the Plaines Communes territories ( Paris’s northern suburb ) we formulated two problematic. Was is the influence of major elements on territories ? What was their impact on the cities’ organization and development ? We zoomed on some of those elements : Saint Denis’ Basilica, the Pleyel tower and the ‘Stade de France’. So we started to talk about ‘Urban generator’ when we noticed that the element had influenced the urban fabric around. We also noticed that it doesn’t always work that way and some major edifice have failed in their urban generator role. Afterward, we continue that analysis to a smaller scale, the scale of the neighborhood. The Old Saint Ouen neighborhood, is an area where old residential houses is mixed with towers and low-rise buildings of social housing. That configuration created a strong confrontation between those those morphologies of housing, the area is divided and the neighborhood identity is unclear. Then we adopted a more sensible way to analyze and we discovered other urban generator, smaller ones and we cataloged them. Through this catalog we listed the advantage or those generator and we classified those:
-Reading, understanding the space, and moving in it. -To gather -Operate -Giving an identity -Take account of history Writing the city. Through this analysis our project’s intentions are obvious. Dynamism needs to be reintroduce in the neighborhood. In order to achieve this we choose the Landy’s Tower ( situated in a neuralgic place and easily recognizable ) and started a rehabilitation using the five points formulated earlier. The rehabilitation of this 19 floors tower have the ambition to transform it into a new urban generator for the Old Saint Ouen. It would become an identity place that would mix housing and public spaces. Our approach touches to the existing spaces such as circulation spaces and private floors and housing. But our intervention is also about adding new spaces and areas to this tower to make it become coherent so we insert number of public blocs with a variety of uses into the tower. A real process is created through it height, combining temporality and mixity.

Ceramic and archetype.
Exploration through matter and archetype. Through the clay we played with housing archetype, we built houses, and deformed them, and destroyed, them, and we started again. Beside we were doing the same on rhinoceros 3D, and they were always a correlation between the 3d model and the clay model. Thanks to that we became conscious of the power of numeric to influence your work and that working on a computer and working with real model is a really different approach, and we have to stay aware about it. Afterward, once the form was fixed, we started to film people, the city and life around us with our new point of view, we ended the workshop by presenting a short movie about architecture, human body and cities.

L’INATELIER 2016 15 days Lost Montréal / Canada Co-workers : Enzo Miottini Gabriel Tessier Laura Lièvre Marc-André Perrault Sarah-Eve Autotte
This competition was about the rehabilitation of the Montreal School of Architecture’
INATELIER is a meeting point, a place of exchange, a small haven, a promised land towards which converge all students who have only one thought in mind: ESCAPE THE WORKSHOP! Or simply relax with a coffee or two. Three zones, three atmospheres: - The counter, functional hybrid between the service desk, the coffee bar and the bar counter. - The cushions’ corner, where sofas and self-service books stand together in harmony. - The large table, which combines work and snack in a cozy atmosphere. The counter In a unique and massive concrete gesture, the counter cross the coffee shop and is divided into different areas and services. Its situation enable the client to observe and interact with employees. Moreover, its location along the windows makes work more pleasant for employees and a bright view for people who lean on it.
The cushions corner This is the place of disconnection, no plug and omnipresence of comfort, a soft and small utopia at the heart of the University concrete. Stress Prohibited ! It is also the place to gossip, smalltalk and other conversations “y-fait-tu-assez-beau-aujourd’hui” and if you find it cheesy, we offer you to pick a book in the self-service library studded with archie& cie. You planned to devour «Vers une architecture»? We invite you to go elsewhere. The large table Here is the ideal of the big table surrounded by children in the song of Mes Aîeux, except that the children are grown and they work strong. We see plug everywhere, massive space for large teams or to a range of individuals who are not afraid of strangers. It provides a greater ceiling height than elsewhere not to enclose the spirits at work, and to illuminate subtly suggesting that it is a different. When the smoke will escape out of the ears, it won’t inconvenience anyone.
