L’ Escale

· Revitalizing the lakebank for community living and gathering ·

The objective of the project is to establish a new entry point to the village of Bauduen by creating a lakeside station. The aim is to promote a sense of community and collaboration among residents, tourists, and visitors, and to cater to their changing needs with respect to the seasons. The project encompasses a range of scales, extending from the wider Verdon area to the village of Bauduen.

Challenges

The two main challenges to achieve resilience in the territory of Verdon are to improve mobility and hospitality. These challenges can be broken down into three levels:

1. The Regional Nature Park

Discover and enhance the value of the territory thanks to sustainable mobility that generates social dynamics.

2. The Lake of Sainte-Croix

Reinterpret and reveal the place of water as a vector of sociability and a support for mediation.

3. The village of Bauduen

Adapt the uses for a contemporary and sustainable way of living in all seasons and all year round.

Intentions

To ‘‘stop over’’ is the action of stopping momentarily in a journey. Because a stopover is at the same time a place of convergence, pause and transition, this implies, on the village scale, two types of intervention which are :

1. The global requalification of the village’s river banks.

2. A lake station as part of the village’s identity.

· When sustainable architecture meets social commitment ·

I am excited to share my remarkable experience as a site manager with Un Refugio Colectivo for an ongoing construction project in Guinée Bissau. From mid-January to mid-April 2023, we worked tirelessly to build a women’s shelter using an innovative and sustainable construction method—compressed earth bricks (CEB). This project aims to provide a safe haven for women who suffer from gender-abused situations and seeks to empower them through the Associação Mulheres Superviventes

· Landscape design of a cinema complex facility ·

The aim is to create a new campus dedicated to cinema where nature and landscape are at the heart of the project. It is conceived as a compact mini-city, where each entity is active and linked to the other. This organisation is oriented towards values related to sustainability, resilience and the socio-ecological environment. Thus, an ‘‘open campus’’ is created, allowing a social dynamic where various activities are interconnected.

Challenges

To define a bioclimatic and evolutionary ecosystem through three landscape typologies:

1. the riparian landscape is a forested park that follows the watercourses crossing the site.

2. the oasis punctuate the built-up areas with landscaped ponds contributing to climate comfort.

3. the arid landscape located at the extremities of the site is a flexible space that can be adapted to different programmes.

Intentions

The landscape evolves little by little with the phases of the project.

During the wet season rainwater, condensation water and grey water are collected on the riverside park creating a landscape of streams. At the beginning of the dry season only grey water and condensation water formed on the sails is collected.

The different types of crossings are divided between the riparian park and the oasis. They ensure the crossing between the different spaces and studios. These crossings make it possible to manage the passage between public and private areas.

Correns

· The little Agora ·

Correns, a small village located in the lush green region of Provence, holds a special reputation since 1997 for being the first «organic village» in France. The village’s agriculture heavily relies on viticulture, and its transition to organic farming has impacted the entire community’s way of life. Our project aims to establish a gathering space for parents and children after school, which we hope will create a sense of community among the residents. The compost bin will promote to bring people together around the idea of recycling, gardening, and learning about citizens’ actions.

L’idée d’établir une place nous a semblé intéressante, puisqu’elle est le résultat d’une observation du site ainsi que d’échange avec les habitants. Au delà du fait qu’elle constitue un espace pour se regrouper et patienter durant la sortie des élèves, elle établit un regroupement pour les piétons, permettant de freiner et rétablir une hiérarchie avec les véhicules.

Les rondins de bois de plus gros diamètre viennent se positionner sur l’assise en pierre. Ils permettent une meilleure stabilité ainsi que du lestage pour la structure. Ensuite, une rangée de bois plus fine et plus souple vient s’intercaler entre chaque gros rondins transversaux.

5. Bio compost bin

Nous avions pour objectif de lier tous ces rondins ensemble par une technique de goupilles en bois. Seulement nous avons rencontré certains problèmes qui nous ont amené à utiliser des vis. En effet les goupilles, trop fines, ne permettaient pas une rigidité suffisante pour as surer la sécurité des utilisa teurs. Cette technique nous a permis d’obtenir une struc ture stable à laquelle nous avons pu donner une forme courbe grâce à la flexibilité des branches.

Dans un souci d’esthétique, le couvercle du bac est un tissage à base de bois, permettant au compost, une fois fermé, de s’intégrer complètement à la strucutre. Une trappe (plaque de fer) à été installée en partie basse du bac afin de pouvoir récupérer facilement le compost macéré.

Gourdon

· Balancing hospitality and diversity in a village under transition ·

The objective of the project is to implement a novel way of living that is adaptable and sustainable, where residential, tourism, and sports activities are carried out with consideration for the existing built and natural environment. This entails a village in a state of transition, wherein the community is actively engaged in communal affairs, promoting energy conservation through the use of eco-friendly transportation methods, and constructing buildings that utilize locally-sourced, bio-based materials with a bioclimatic design

Challenges

The three main challenges to achieve a resilient territory in Gourdon are:

1. To define and develop a quality of life consistent with the territory and its specificities.

2. To offer several types of hospitality across different types of population.

3. To develop awareness of the interrelationships between the living, the geography and the history of the territory.

Intentions

Impulse a new village dynamic, which is intergenerational, by enhancing the identity of the territory, extending its hospitality to a more diversified population, all in a respectful awareness of the area and its history. The strategy adopted to respond to this challenge is to rethink the village of Gourdon as a system of life in transition. In other words, to propose a resilient village organisation that initiates a new dynamic based on a way of consuming, producing, working and living together that is more thoughtful and responsible regarding the major issues at stake.

Pro-Straw

· Insulation and alternative plasters ·

Straw is a readily available resource in the agricultural world, and France is a major producer of cereal straw, generating over 50 million tonnes of it annually. This local resource could be used to insulate around 500,000 housing units each year. The RFCP has established a «Prostraw» standard based on CP 2012 regulations for using straw as a filler and coating support. Through this training, I gained both practical and theoretical knowledge about the benefits and drawbacks of using straw as an insulation material, which is crucial for successful and sustainable construction.

Mallemort

· It’s evolution from urban countryside to inhabited park ·

The project is structured around four seasons, each comprising distinct yet interconnected phases. In light of the project’s partially self-constructed nature, it is imperative to sequence each phase of the project in a way that allows for effective implementation of individual programs (housing, gardens, festive space, park), and their ongoing operation through community-based associations in Mallemort.

Project Guidelines

Major traffic routes

Main water channels to reveal

Vegetation continuity to establish

Slow mobility to develop

Village and new hamlet to bind

Challenges

The challenges correspond to the following four seasons:

1. to requalify the site as a shared & gardened park

2. gather around a building site house

3. (im)planting of dwellings in gardens

4. responsible and continuous future densification

Intentions

The site presents itself as a major interface of Mallemor’s development, but it is currently disconnected from the whole municipality. While responding to the demand for social housing, shared gardens and the creation of a festive space, how should this interface between urban, natural and agricultural areas be managed?

The general intention of the project is to reinforce and reveal the remarkable natural spaces by creating a park inhabited on the northern periphery of the municipality of Mallemort. This approach is complemented by a positioning which tends to enhance the landscape structures linked to the river of Durance, as well as the promotion of soft mobility through the principle of ‘‘10 minutes on foot’’ from the Durance Bridge to the village centre.
