projects carried out whilst a student in different educational environments and professional practices

x25 is an unit interested mostly in experimental methods of building knowledge, both as means of proposing architecture and as educational tools.

The study started with the developing of a stop-motion animation movie which interrogates the relations between the physical reality an an imaginary space. The constructed scenario looks at the interaction between several carefully selected objects in a drawer, both when these objects are total intimacy and when they are confrunted with external agencies. The entire plot is drawn based on the object oriented onthology, a theory which defines objects as living entitiesm defined by a past, a present and a future.

Secondly, a series of models were designed within this scope of understanding the different agencies involved in reading the geometry of a constructed space. The purpose of these models is to inform the third stage of the project.

In a more thorough study around the potential of newly designed residential spaces dictates certain limitations in spatial features of embedding humans’ perso nal desires and fascinations which define their condition.

Hackney Wick, London is the site of a project which investigates how non-generic spaces can become shaped by personal fascinations, in a world where residential architecture is becoming increasily generic.

During this year, we have looked at the ambiguity between realities and realisation, the seams that emerge out of separate interpretations giving us the opportunity to multiple views of reality.

A selective scan of the building in Vienna reveals only the parts it wishes to give away - one of a number of surveillance techniques used to probe this cafe and archive.

This project operates within the glitch realm, as interpreted by two technologies, the lidar scanner and photogrammetry assembling software, which drives the spectator into a surreal enigmatic trip.The spatial experience is distorted thanks to the skewed perception of its geometry, due to the difficulty of relating it to any previously known surroundings.

Nowadays, the quest for a quality source of information which is not unilateral, but transparent and trustworthy is being blotted out by certain news corporations which prefer popularity and desire over importance and veridicity.

It hosts hidden programs which coexist with the main one, offering a platform for discussion for civil rights activists.

The project permits the existence of a parallel historical timeline which is not written by the victor, but which presents a second uncontested version of our realm.

STUDIO PH. BARRIERE B.ARCH DIP. PROJECT ACADEMIC WORK

This last subject developed at Ecole Speciale d’Architecture discusses primordialy the bond between human body / condition, technology and architecture.

The strong co-existence between these was the directive force to generate the logic of our proposals.

The first phase consisted in imagining the ideal essential space in order to unders tand the connection between these two, the human realm and artificial.

Here, I was appealed by the machine embedded in the human, and by the machine.

Therefore I have imagined a robot that would replicate and understand my move ments, evolving to a point where it would no longer need the users assistance and therefore would act upon its own conscience and direct different tasks.

3RD YEAR PROJECT ACADEMIC WORK

This studio’s angle developed a more conceptual approach, exploring the different features of kinetic movement and dynamism in the representation of architecture, but also in the final product itself.

As a first exercise, we where to imagine and conceive a physical model of our kinetic device. This intended to serve us later, by integrating parts of this design in the conception of our final project.

The final architectural product, which is composed out of many seperated premises spread along the island are strongly connected through the programs which they host and the functional cluster which command them. This proposal founds itself in a constant movement towards a form finding process with no precise ending.

The complex transforms with time, adding new layers of com plexity over the existing structure, while camouflaging it from the city.

AUT. DEL TERRAMAR DESIGN SPRING 2013 EDOUARD CABAY 2ND YEAR PROJECT

ACADEMIC WORK

This studio concentrated more on exploring architectural design differently through the medium of cartography and data flow interpretation.

The first exercise was to select a simple tool that was to help us find specific information regar ding the phenomena to be analyzed.

Further on, we had to integrate our collected data in our designs, therefore working with precise parameters towards clean and specific proposals.

After discovering the most well-disposed viewing positions on the field, we decided to create a sort of museum, composed out of many viewing pods.

The idea was to have the possibility to admire, from a considerable distance exact points all around the circuit displaying old racing cars.

JEAN C. MOREAU 2ND YEAR PROJECT

This project was intended to familiarize ourselves to the possibility of the cohabitation of different programs projec ted in the same architectural product.

Therefore, tried to integrate in the building three types of spatial use, defined by the experience of three types of users.

ACADEMIC WORK

Students, family and children were to cohabit in a cluster of physical spaces, each drawn with a specific architectural language.

The building is composed out of different wings, first, appartments for families up to four, and opposite on the other wing, one would find a more animated student residences. Both wings were connected through another body, which hosts the kindergarden

PROFESSIONAL WORK

In this chapter present a small part of my constribution and associate work while working with a scenographer during this year.

Here, I designed various projects that engage architectural features. Here, was exposed to different dimensions, an inverted process, starting from built prototypes to representation and pivoting back from digital experimentation to the physical condition.

This has taught me how drawings are influenced by the full-scale prototype, because of the scarcity of the materials to be assembled, which sometimes were already designed objects.

These experiences allowed me to master my techniques and to explore others.
