The architectural language of our projects is specific to our agency culture, attentive to contemporary construction, to the economy of materials, to the fundamental notions of orders, rhythms and compositions.
CHAPTERS
chapter 01
Geometry
Geography
Geometry is originally the branch of mathematics studying its figures of the plane and space. Since the end of the 18th century, geometry has also studied figures belonging to other types of spaces (projective geometry, on Euclidean geometry for example). Geography studies the natural environment in the space of societies.
chapter 02
Platforms,
supports
Feeling the ground better means revealing the topography, understanding its sinuous and flexible geography, the topography supporting any anchoring of buildings.
“More than ever, bringing architecture into line with the soil, the climate, and the innumerable sources of pollution, is one of the keys to our survival. These data were barely touched upon by the 20th century" Pierre Louis Faloci presented in the talk "Esthétique de la menace 2010”; or John Utzon was fascinated by the belvedere terraces of the Yucatan in Mexico whose essential function was to offer men a high view of the surrounding nature (these references are at the origin of the massive base of the theater in Sydney Bay).
chapter 03
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 give meaning to the project. A site whose load-bearing structure is obvious, bears the beginning of a beautiful building.
chapter 04
Horizons, Lines
and Fractals
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 factal is a geometric oblect in which each proportion has an identical surface, which means that whatever the angle from which we look at it, it always remains similar.
chapter 05
Materials
The materials are selected according to construction techniques and the economy of local resources (origin and traceability, biosourced materials, material saving, ecology).
The elegance, the rhythm and the proportions then flow naturally and logically from the constructive qualities of these materials.
