semester 7 - UdK prof. MĂźhlethaler
adding and extending with wood - jonas leweke & albane de la villegeorges We started at the scale 1:20, designing a small but efficient housing unit out of wood. The perfomant wooden construction allowed these units to behave like modules of a bigger structure and to be piled in whichever way. Thus, we concentrated on the commons spaces of our buiding. With a specific piling of the housing units, we managed to create a double height corridor; we adde skylights, wooden furniture and vegetation, making this circulation space a real autonomus common aera. < perspective section

adding and extending with wood - jonas leweke & albane de la villegeorges To lighten the façade, we left a few modules unconstructed: these became part of the circulation, making the corridor to a «rue intérieure» as it opened up in loggias on different floors. In the last phase, we imagined an urbanistic approach on an actual site in Berlin. We organised the modules in long articulated bars, trying to clarify the unclear urban spaces due to the mix of «Altbau» and buildings from the 60s. We reprocuded the «Rue intérieure» at a bigger scale, making a pedestrian zone betwenen two bars. < housing unit and examples of combinations <

semester 6 - UdK prof. Sauerbruch
building the public on alexanderplatz - fault lines I decided to turn one part of the former Marx Engels Forum into a luxury shopping mall for french fashion brands. The proposed complex is composed of 6 buildings, each one belonging to a specific brand (Chanel, YSL, Dior, etc). Each building is divided in a lower part for shopping and two top levels for housing. The building has been conceived as a polished volume broken up by cracks: dramatic fault lines break through the street facades that are seemingly rational and functional. < exploded axonometry

building the public on alexanderplatz - fault lines My project was influenced by my reading of Louis Aragon’s book «Le paysan de Paris». Inspired by this work, I imagined how one could dive into a crystalline, irrational world within these fault lines, and be lead through a labyrinthine path towards the light. The artificial world of the fashion mall will blend seamlessly into a residential rooftop that is also part of the brand. Thus the mall offers a comprehensive escape into the fictional world of consumption that is only interrupted by dramatic views through the „fault lines“ into the dirty reality of Berlin Alexanderplatz. < ground floor plan <

building the public on alexanderplatz - analysis This semester was about analizing the public on Alexanderplatz, and rethinking this center of Berlin. The main ideas were to densify, reach a more human scale, but still, to keep the iconic aspect of Alexanderplatz. Together with the class, we drew this private/public plan, as Nolli did for Rome in the 17th century: in black, private, in grey, semi-private (accessible only during the day, etc...) and white , always opened to everyone. < plan of the Alexanderplatz in Nolliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style

building the public on alexanderplatz - kiosk During this analyse of the Alexanderplatz, we had to design a kiosk anywhere in this area. Guided by Maslow’s pyramid of needs, I imagined how to “trap” people into my kiosk by creating these different steps: 1. physological need: I put three machines offering coffe or food 2. safety need: the curved and floating roof brings protection not only against the rain, but also the scary voids of Alexanderplatz 3. social need: when the people gather to sit on the small step (already existing on the site) 4. self-esteem: possibility to create, to “make art” with tablets 5. self-accomplishement: when the “making art” happens on stage

semester 2 - ENSAPM prof. Vallier
summer pavilion I was imaginating a summer pavilion, by keeping the interesting aspects of a step I reached during the 1st semester: generating a form out of plain surfaces (as opposed to mass with clay and edges with wooden sticks). My primary form would only be made of squares, and each of them would have a side 10 cm shorter than the one before. This pure geometrical concept applied on an actual site, for a pavilion with an actual program, creates a harmonic and abstract architecture. < model photo

housing in bremen competition sauerbruch hutton I joined a team working on a housing competition in Bremen two weeks before the handing in. On the plan, a slightly curved L-shaped building closes the ring of the old center of Bremen. The designed building protects the charming surroundings, full of history with the church and the small pitched roofs, of the noisy highway. I was in charge of all the graphics. My goal was to make our building mingle with the charming old atmosphere of the site, coming up with an aquarelle styled drawings on photoshop. < section

housing lehrter str project sauerbruch hutton The agency works on a masterplan of 20 houses in the Lehrter str in Berlin. Sauerbruch Hutton has to coordinate 6 architecture offices, and design themselves four houses. I was working on the color concept; first on a very abstract 1:500 model, and when the colours found, on a 1:200 model, which had to seduce all the participating members so they would accept their colour. By creating a depth and materiality on the facades we were given on photoshop, I managed to make the whole ensemble quite attractive. < colour concept

candleholder product design the fundamental group
<
The fundamental group had worked previsouly with metal sheets, on which cutting lines would define how to fold the sheet, and thus create a 3D object. I use the same technique and was desining a candle holder. After a geometric research, I managed to control the method and to reach the shape I wanted with this pop-up technique. model photos

semester 4 - ENSAPM prof. Bélorgey dessins During my 4 first semesters at ENSAPM, I developed a drawing technique out of hand drawn parallel lines, more or less dense, to create surfaces, and thus forms. Firstly using graphite, I decided later to use black ink. The parallel lines imply a very geometrical result; but the fact they are made by a human hand gives them a vibrance and life the computer wouldn’t reach. I started then to break this technique by adding free drawn shapes in between the surfaces out of lines. I appreciate the contrast of the sharp, geometric lines and these organic forms. < Cour des Mûriers in Paris, black ink The free black ink drawings I included lead me to pure ink paintings. I produced a lot of them, free and intuitive, as this technique allows. <

atelier de Sèvres nude During this year in the art school, I worked on the thematic of astrophysics (a passion I have since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a child). The complexity of astrophysics and the surnatural beauty of the astronomical images make this theme very difficult to be worked out in an artistic way. The texture of a nebula drawn with graphite reminded me of a human female body, with its smoothness and curves. Even though the two objects have such different scales, they both give birth; a woman to her child and a nebula to stars. < nude, graphite <
