Participatory Peripherique

Semester 3 Studio - Odile Decq - Spring 2020

Amid the 2020 lock down, I was inspired by the radical architectural movements of the 60s, the “architect as an artist” concept, and projects such as Yona Friedman’s “Flatwriter.” My proposal for new urban development on Paris’ infamous peripherique involved a vibrant, creative script that could generate infinite urban interventions using specific points of intensity. This project suggested a paradigm shift where the architect or urban planner only designs the algorithm, thereby allowing citizens to create their own unique spaces within algorithmically defined bounds.

Modeling With Intuition

Semester 4 Workshop - Gaetan Kohler - Fall 2020

In this workshop, we were tasked with modeling through intuition using only wooden skewers and hot glue. The primary objective was to demonstrate how large-scale models could be quickly constructed using inexpensive materials while emphasizing the importance of working with your hands and tapping into your creative intuition.
