Landscape: spatial expanse, natural or transformed by man, which presents a certain visual or functional identity: forest, urban, industrial landscape”.
“Overall view that we have from a given point: from my window”. A fractal is a geometric object in which each proportion has an identical surface, which means that whatever the angle from which we look at it, it always remains similar.

Scale
The scale consists of a suite of levels that form a hierarchy. Continuous and ordered sequence serving as comparison or evaluation, system of references.

Fractals
01

Some man-made objects are geometrically simple in that they are like idealized forms such as lines, planes, cubes or polyhedra. Ever since Euclid invented geometry, people have been content with the idea that all objects can be classified as compositions of regular geometric shapes. The architecture found inspiration in the Euclidean geometry and in the properties of the symmetry and repetition.

Geometry, Geography

Geometry is originally the part of mathematics that studies figures in plane and space. Since the end of the 18th century, geometry also studies figures belonging to other types of spaces.

Platforms and supports

The space of the platform is the first space of the nomad who installs his tent, the landscape lines of the farmer who works subtly with water, of the man who arranges his space to work there with ease. This simple installation in nature, used for religious purposes to pose temples, churches and mosques, or military strongholds allows us to contemplate the world and its horizon. Being on a promontory, belvedere, terrace, platform allows you to frame your gaze on the horizon as if to better feel the landscape.

Assembly and Filters

The assembly raises the question of meaning and constructive truth. The assembly, the choice of materials and structure, the economy of means and materials gives meaning to the project. A site whose load-bearing structure expresses the evidence bears the beginnings of a beautiful building.

Materials

The materials are decided according to construction techniques and the economy of local resources. (Origin and traceability, biosourced materials, material saving, ecology) The elegance, the rhythm, the proportions then flow naturally and logically from the constructive qualities of these support materials.
