EAST LONDON CITY FARM// City farm in the east of London// Partnership with the London Legacy Development Corporation// Site: Leamouth area – Canning Town - London// January 2013 (4th year) / EAVT School of Architecture

The Leamouth area is located at the end of the Lea Valley Park which crosses East London from north to South, along the Lea River to the Thames River. Amidst London’s Docklands, the place was the largest port and industrial cen-ter of London until the mid-eighties when its reconversion began.

This area is now changing and a lot of new urban projects are currently un-der construction. One of the main site is located on the peninsula of Leamouth and consists in a high density district of luxury housings and public equip-ments. Opposite to it, the Limmo site is one of the only empty zone of the city. The project explores the interaction be-tween these two sites facing each other: which program could act as a benefit for this new area? The place has to keep a strong identity as an urban area but also as a park.

The idea is to link the local and global scales at the same time and the differ-ent communities from two boroughs. All of this put in one program around the main theme of urban agriculture as a city farm.

The answer to all those criterias is a glasshouse which includes several at-tractive centers as a link between the

LET THE CITY IN! / FROM STREET TO ART // Artists residency in the east suburb of Paris// Partnership with the 13th International Architecture Exhibition of Venice// Site: East suburb of Paris// June 2012 (3rd year) / EAVT School of Architecture

The key issue of the project is to re-habilitate an 14-storeys office build-ing, abandoned since the 70’s, into an art center and residency for artists. The cultural building is intended to be a shelter for contemporary art and an incubator of new ideas and art forms. The hypothesis of setting up a cultural center of international renown in one of the most deprived area of the Paris suburbs asks a lot of questions. Specifi-cally, the main item of the project is the encounter between private and public spaces, and also between artists, visi-tors and inhabitants. The project repre-sents a dense and ambitious program, including the need for opening, flexible gallery spaces of different heights and atmospheres.

The idea of the project is to preserve an urban continuity with the future plaza facing the north side of the building, which will be connected by train, subway and tramway to Paris. With the desire to make this site a place of events, the main cultural programs are clustered at the street level in order to maximize the interaction between the life of the street and the art center.

Below the ground floor, the two existing parking levels are converted into one single fluid space of 20,000m², includ-ing a library, shared workshops, an au-ditorium, internal patios and exhibitions spaces at the center. Underground pro-grams can be accessed through slopes from all around the plaza.

Masterplan Groundfloor - Commercial and entries

Type floor

Situated in a small town at 40km from Paris, this housing project is part of a contrasted territory where rural land-scapes and urban areas coexist. Locat-ed at the corner of two main roads, fac-ing the train station, the plot is a major converging point in the territory.

As the urban fabric has different densi-ties, the idea is to translate these se-quences into the building.

The city block is built around an intimate interior courtyard with three entries, linking northern and southern roads. The perforated building assembles 40 apartments, communal outside areas, commercial program and parking in the plinth.

URBAN SEQUENCES// Public housing project// 40 apartments building from studios to 5 rooms apartments// Site: East suburb of Paris// January 2011 (3rd year) / EAVT School of Architecture

The blocks of apartments are posi-tioned on top of each other, leaving wide openings for communal patios throughout the building. Several little courtyards are created on all levels, opening up the view of the city and land-scape and offering new perspectives in the building. The apartments are ac-cessed via these communal spaces. All apartments offer additional private outdoor spaces in the shape of a loggia. On southern facade, the loggias act as a buffer space, reducing the noise com-ing from the train station.

The apartments are organized around a crossing living room, expressing the concept of porosity of the building.

The Longchamp Racecourse is set in 57 hectares between the Seine and the Bois de Boulogne. This site is part of a major restructuring project which aims to open up the place to a new audience by organizing various activities and events during race days.Located on the 4th floor of the building, the VIP boxes are rent by individuals or companies for a period from one day to a year.

ConceptThese private spaces offer special views on the finishing line of the racetrack and, at the opposite of the building, on the paddock.The key question of the project is the impact of the external views on the in-side. The project has to highlight both views and play with the limits between interior and exterior spaces.

Paddock

The VIP boxes are surrounded by out-door spaces: patios on paddock-side and terraces overlooking the racetrack. They are like rectangular units posi-tioned in a way that creates framed or opened views.

The project plays with the limits be-tween the interior and exterior, inte-grating the tier into the architecture.

The boxes seem to be independent, unconnected and unconstrained in the open plan because of the transparent glass walls above concrete walls of the units.

Thus, the various architectural ele-ments seem to slide against each other, enhancing the feeling of open plan and horizontal expansion of space.

Nissim de Camondo Museum is situated in Paris next to the Parc Monceau.This classic-style private mansion was built in the early 20th century for the Camondo family and has been transformed into a muse-um in 1935. The museum is fully pre-served in its original condition as an aristocratic home and exhibits the great collection of french furniture and art objects that belonged to the family.

Designing the reception of such a particular museum asks to rely on its historical aspects. Thus, this project focused on the history of the family and their great collection which fea-tures today in the museum.

The reception area is composed of an information point and a shop. As the collection of the family is mainly composed of small and mechanical furnitures, these characteristics are used in this project.

The museum shop works as a “cabi-net of curiosities”.

Designed to be less visible as pos-sible, other elements act as storage spaces. The shapes of these full-height furniture follow the walls , becoming formally linked to the wall molding.

Mechanical wallIn a larger scale, the concept of me-chanical furniture is also exploited in the locker room of the museum.

MOBILE BOOKSHOP// Partnership with the « Le Manuscrit » publishing company

// Design of a mobile bookshop// February 2009 / Ecole Boulle - School of Art and Design

// Awarded project

Conception of a mobile bookshop for the “Le Manuscrit” publishing company in order to create a meeting place between authors and readers.This bookshop project had to refer with the concepts of mobility, travel, read-ing and storytelling. All the elements of the bookshop are assembled in two fur-niture parts, like a “suitcase” that can be transported. There are two types of furniture: one which is dedicated to the author as a meeting space with readers. The other is a sales point and presenta-tion of the publisher.

The installation is telling a story:1 The first step is “the initial situation”, when the author arrives.2 The second step is characterized by events: the installation of all the ele-ments.3 The “final situation”: the bookshop is installed and the authors can receive readers.

When all the parts are installed, a set of shapes remain into the initial furni-ture elements, used as storage spaces for books and specially marked by con-trasts of colors.

VIDEO INSTALLATION// Art and architecture / 2 weeks workshop with the artist Maria Nordmann// February 2011 (3rd year) / EAVT School of Architecture

The installation seeks to play on the spectators’ perceptions of real and vir-tual images.

The concept is to decompose a screen of paper into several parts. These multi-ple screens are hanging across a room in order to create different corridors. Visitors can walk across the room in be-tween the panels.

At the same time, images are projected on the screens : the image of a concrete wall in front of which virtual people are walking and disappearing. Thus, the vis-itors are active in the installation, com-pletely surrounded by projected images.

The installation is organized in two rooms:

- When the visitors first enter in the screening room, they can watch the ac-tivity of the second room. On TV, the real or virtual images of people are barely recognizable.

- Then, in the second room, visitors are directly included in the installa-tion. Thus, they become new characters amongst the virtual ones

INSTALLATION / URBAN SPACE ATTITUDES// Partnership with “La Galeru” - Art Gallery// Fontenay-sous-Bois - East of Paris// April 2010 / Awarded and built project

Situated amongst the small shops in the heart of the old town center, this gal-lery, called “la Galeru” comes alive in a former shoe repair shop. For the past 9 years “La Galeru” has been hosting art installations in which the artists’ work takes the urban space and surround-ings into account, in order to create a new surprise for lurkers and inhabit-ants.

This installation explores the attitudes and postures of pedestrians. Faced to others, we all adopt a particular behav-ior in public space. In the street, our postures are homogeneous, often con-tained and introverted.

Based on photographs taken in the ur-ban space, a crowd of silhouettes fills the old shop. This uniform crowd shows ordinary attitudes. Oppositely, some characters colored and extroverted cre-ate a contrast.

The lighting also plays an important role in this installation. As it moves, it animates the crowd and motions shad-ows on the wall.
