Au loin, une nuée de verticales colorées se profile. Entremêlée aux arbres et bordant le sentier, une étrange haie d’honneur invite au passage. Tout en reliant les deux lieux de l’exposition, cette installation déplace temporairement la physionomie naturelle du site que nous habitons, pour l’inscrire dans le domaine du sensible. L’agglomérat prend vie. Le mélange des couleurs et la matérialité des touches font vibrer l’horizon. Métaphore de notre présence en ce lieu, cet ensemble éphémère est composé d’autant de pièces que la faculté d’architecture contient d’étudiants, enseignants et membres du personnel. Chacun cherche sa position dans le lieu, le paysage et tente d’en maîtriser l’espace. Demain, lorsque l’école aura gagné le centre de la ville, le chemin sera d’une autre nature, toute aussi stimulante. Entre-temps, les pièces de bois auront servi d’autres travaux pédagogiques...

It has been necessary to identify the key elements of our project. The axis joining Namur and Luxembourg must be looked as a ma- jor asset for the city. The second axis joining Rochefort and Liège is source of flow, activity and exchange for the city. From the city scale, it seems obvious that it must be rethought. The boulevard du nord is reconsidered, from a periuban to an urban status, spreading the city in a linear way, longitudinally. In order to remove this strong break, our goal is to create trans- versal relationships and to foster flows between the two parts of the city. Beyond these dimensions, the word boulevard implies large si- dewalks, activities, density, diversity and gives a very urban character to the street. We highlight the potential of this axis which currently present a lack of structure. We see the hollow spaces as an opportunity to densify the city with a simple pattern: housing upstairs (various types) and businesses or activities on the ground floor. The templates that we set up mentions future possibilities for a very ambitious urban project. The monolith deforms and rises, it marks the angle like the prow of a ship. Its distortions are not meaningless features, they give rise to ramps and terraces facing south and create distant views from the houses to the city. The project mentions contrasts and scales or rather «levels of inti- macy». Activity spaces open to the public will be very accessible, very transparent. The borders are erased for distant views, a way to strengthen the connection between the two parts of the city.The existing pedestrian alley participates in cross-connections, a new physical link allows a passage through the plot, an additional short- cut connected to the boulevard.

DIVERTIMIENTO 2009, TOURNAI, BE The built
The trees
The goals are on the one hand to re enforce the limit of the entrance of a city and on the other hand to offer it a symbol and show the thickness of an opaque park forgotten by its inhabitants. The area is located at the junction of the green belt and of the axis between the cathedral and the entrance of the closest motorway of Tournai. This door is nowadays symbolised by thick vegetation which marks the limits of the urbanisation and on what used to be the old fortifications. This limit is thick and contains at the spot that I chose a park to which the roundabout is decorated by a sculpture symbolising the collective memory. My project is a point, a kneecap, which opens the park and re enforce the alignment of the tress to accentuate the entrance of the city. The plan is articulated around the poesy of the place to give the viewers a sensitive reading of the area. When going up the path is given rhythm by different types of views and the spaces play with different heights and widths. The two concepts clash and bring out contrasts to express feelings given by the richness of the area. It stands as a lighthouse, luminous at night, it makes the park safer and offers an ascent complemented by magnificent views: a tube open to the sky causes the climb, a gigantesque window sets the route, a panoramic view point help discovering the landscape of the park and eventually a small window shows the cathedral. This true column space reacts as a mass. The structure is made out of three layers.The first one said of light is unbalanced, empty, opened on the sky and is the light source and the pillar of the staircase. The second is peripheral to the staircase and opens on the views. And lastly the third one behaves as an interface with its environment: luminous during the night, during the day the opal glass reacts with the light and the appearance of the thickness of this skin varies depending with the seasons and the time of the day.

DEFINE A TERRITORY, LIVE IN A TOPOGRAPHY. Plan masse
HOUSE 2008, WISSANT, FR The family’s territory, many territories.
The project characterise itself by some volume of functions which are made up by sliding on one another to define the territory of the living space and a empty fluid without corridor. The house was intended to be designed for a family of which the father is an art collector. The sloping site clears three areas of different functions which are defined by a roof: the latest reveals the slope and clears remote views on the sea located only a few meters away. The volume offers some reduced individual spaces and the common meander accompanies them to take the place of a showroom where private exhibitions could take place. For each territory, a outside space

Priorities
The position of the staircase sets out four layers and the two screens at right angle surrounding the staircase define four spaces. The functions are giving dimensions to the spaces: the start and the end of the staircase orientate them and give them a height. The open facades in resonance with the staircase are bearing. Thanks to the positioning of the staircase and of the two screens, we get four possibilities of plan and therefore sixteen spaces that are all different. Each floor is organized in four parts: the space on which is opened onto the staircase is a good way to introduce a notion of collective and of landing, the two that are attached to it are served space and eventually the last one opposite the walls is private, isolated.
THE WINDOWS MAKE SPACE’S CONDITIONS

THE COLUMN, SHAPE SUGGESTING SPACES
The aim is to create special situations by mixing the round and cross-shaped column. Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier have used the cross-shaped column for its economy of material and its capacity to disappear. It s worth to be noting that Mies and Sanaa used columns as a spatial pivot and that those concepts have guided our research. Thanks to the position of the round columns, the cross-shaped ones are defining new areas. A path is created by formal connections and a hierarchy is set up: some spaces are drifting away whereas others are included. It is obtained a combination of five different areas. Columns are positioned according to a regular weft, the roof out of plumb answers to a logical structure and their size was chosen according to their spatial impacts and their bearing capacities.

«The illustrations on the ... pages are important images stored in my head. When I design or invent a building they are always hovering somewhere above me(...) Naturally I also want to progress beyond these images. So that they no longer exist. I want to rise above the tradition handed down to me. Even to the extent that my architecture would become nonreferential. That would be the best thing, the most independent way. But I am aware that this is impossible.» Olgiati (Valerio) Valerio Olgiati, 2G n.37, international architecture review, nexus, p134.
