My curiosity and my passion have always pushed me to look for a job that allows me to concretize what I am most passionate about in the field of architecture, density and high rise. After working for several years in France, my goal is now to apply my knowledge in these themas in the USA, the home of skyscrapers. Working as a team on major architectural or development projects, getting out of my comfort zone while working abroad is a challenge that will mark my career and I hope your agency.

In Marseille, in the Vélodrome district, EDF (Electricity of France) has decided to bring together some of its activities in the Provencal region on a single site, in order to strengthen the synergies between its businesses. The project provides for a building with various activities, and includes a mainly tertiary part supplemented by a part with infrastructure specific to EDF. The relocation of the site makes it possible to meet the surface needs, safety requirements, environmental standards and comfort standards of 21st century offices.

The Mistral is at the heart of contemporary environmental issues, while offering a functional and pleasant workplace thanks to an architecture which notably enhances the neighboring watercourse of the Jarret which until now looked more like a open sewer.

This project responds to the need for urbanity identified in a district in full renewal and in search of identity.

My work

Global an exterior design for the competition Building permit

The key words are: modularity, mutuality, conviviality, agility and mobility. All on a plot, very linear (285 m x 55 m approximately). Here, the difficulty was to distribute the programs over the entire length of the building in an efficient way.

The project aims to be rational and efficient. It is organized around parallel layouts that give access to various and qualitative qualities of use: the boulevard, the interior street, the podium: like a generous balcony overlooking the garden and the canal.

My work

Global an exterior design for the competition

- New showcase of the metropolis Designing a public building today is a great responsibility and a challenge. This is an architectural project for the company.

The latter is undergoing transformations in many areas. The new city seeks through architecture and to give meaning, coherence and readability to public action.

Located to the south of the city, on the edge of the centre, the plot on which the new administrative city of Lille is located is a singular plot whose dimensions (400 m in length and 25 to 50 m in width) have a strong impact on the bias of the project.

The urban challenge here is major: it is a question of creating a building which, constrained by the linearity of the site, will avoid any massiveness and will fit intensely into this rapidly changing district, while meeting the essential objectives of the city of tomorrow, sustainable and exemplary in environmental terms.

The project sets up urban sequences that punctuate the built front of the Cité administrative, in order to avoid the monotony that the linearity of the plot could induce, while respecting the existing and future alignments, in particular at the square and the boulevard.

An interior route connects the different sequences of buildings to the forecourt. This route constitutes the central artery of the project and innervates the entire City.

While the building obeys the alignments, breakthroughs, setbacks and heights induced by the existing urban fabric, nature, for its part, infiltrates all the interstices left in the ground.

Arboretum, the largest solid wood campus in Europe, marks a new stage in the development of low-carbon construction. Located on the old site of the Papeteries de la Seine (industrial site), this office campus is served by the Nanterre University station.

The Arboretum campus tries to create a new link between nature and the workplace. It is also a model in terms of controlling the carbon footprint, in particular thanks to the use of CLT solid wood, the reuse of materials, the bioclimatic design of buildings or the geothermal installation to cover up to 80% of heating and air conditioning needs.

All five buildings use solid cross-laminated timber (CLT) as the main superstructure material with the innovative low-carbon technology developed by WO2.

Bio-sourced, CLT solid wood is also the only carbon-storing material.

An aesthetic link between the various architectures of the campus, the wood used as a construction material for the buildings of the Arboretum responds to the more than 1,000 trees of various species planted in the private park of the Arboretum.

Many technical details, in particular for the wooden terraces and the facades, were made especially for the Arboretum, which is a real test for the future of wooden construction in France.

Located in Asnières a few minutes from Paris, near the Seine. The PSA hall hosted a car factory for the American brand Ford and then Citroën at the beginning of the last century.

For a long time abandoned, the historic factory building has been preserved.

Today it is the subject of a development by the town hall. At the heart of a new housing district, Viguier architecte and the developer Nexity bring back this large concrete structure to life.

The project consists into the construction of a new brick, glass and steel building which fits into the existing hall. This new 130room hotel has a large car park under the hall. At the top, a terrace and a bar receive hotel guests.

In the historic part of the football halls and squash halls are inserted throughout the project. On the top floor, under the curved roof, a large fitness room with an extension offers views of the city and the nearby Seine.

The complexity of the project lay in the interweaving of hotel and sports programs. These new activities had to respect the existing building, a symbol of the industrial era while bringing it a touch of modernity.

Cro & Co built the Trinity tower in the Paris La Défense business district: a 33-story tower-bridge 150 meters high, the exceptional feature of which is to be placed on a concrete slab suspended above a seven street.

In total, 56,000 m² of offices and 4,000 m² of services accommodate nearly 4,500 employees. Trinity is the first tower in La Défense to develop an off-center core with a “heart of life” which deport the elevators behind a glass facade. In this way, the activity of the building is revealed, the employees are visible from the outside and enjoy the landscape of La Défense.

The green terraces and collective reflection areas are located near the elevators to become improvised meeting points. To these revisited common horizontal circulations are added a series of other informal spaces: the tower has a total of eight terraces decorated with trees in the ground, twelve planted loggias and 23 balconies, or 1,500 m² of outdoor spaces . At the top of the tower, six floors merge into three duplexes, the 25th floor has a panoramic terrace and the 33rd will accommodate a large meeting room.

By this transparency and its very interactive side, the Trinity tower displays in the La Défense district its high technical, urban, architectural but also ecological ambitions because it has bioclimatic glass facades playing the role of exterior insulation and has double certification. HQE Exceptional and Breeam Excellent.

Trinity help transform the former monofunctional business center of La Défense into a meshed an active city district.

is part of the metropolization process of Greater Paris and the entire Paris conurbation.

A main line station, located in Saint-Denis at the Carrefour Pleyel on the railway line coming from the Gare du Nord, serves as the base for the Project. This works as a centrality allowing the creation of new junctions, both locally and regionally, between preexisting and future polarities: Carrefour and Pleyel tower to the east, the ZAC du Landy and the nearby Stade de France to the west, the RER D station, the city center of Saint-Denis further north, the future grand Paris express station to the south with its 4 metro lines and its inhabited bridge.

The Pleyel interchange of the requalified A86 is connected to the pedestal which contains, in addition to the main line and regional station, a conference center, a shopping center, parking and offices, all overlooking a large pedestrian square in gentle slope.

Above the station and the base there are 3 towers of different sizes which constitute a strong signal, materializing the metropolitan phenomenon of densification and centralization. These three towers question the way of working, having fun but above all living in height, in a country where the last housing tower of more than 100m was built in 1979 ... They contain 2 hotels, accommodation, offices and collective levels asking questions too often nonexistent in France.

The project takes place in the city of Villejuif, in the south of Paris, near the Gustave Roussy Institute, the largest cancer researsh center in Europe, which will host a station on the Grand Paris Express in 2024.

The A6 motorway, the main axis south of Paris connecting the capital to Orly Airport and the south of France, currently forms a real barrier between the cities of Villejuif and Cachan.

At this point, the A6 passes over a hill, the highest point in the Val de Marne department, it prevents any contact between the «Hautes Bruyères» park to the east and the «panoramic» park with its vast residential area at west.

The chosen site is located under the highway at the site of empty, abandoned or embankment spaces over a length of 300m by 75 wide.

This reappropriation of the infrastructure aims to connect two worlds that currently ignore each other. The main interventions are the redevelopment of the underside of the motorway, the implementation of various programs and the creation of a local market.

The new passages created are bordered by shops, restaurants, bars, shops etc ... which set up the conditions necessary to bring life to this type of suburban interstices constituting a real modern souk attractive locally but also for Greater Paris and its outskirts.

The main market of Kyoto, equivalent to the Rungis market in Paris is located in the city but it is completely disconnected.

A rail viaduct runs along the market to the west for almost a kilometer, forming a veritable wall separating it from the important historic district of Shimabara with its famous Sumiya. The project attempts to transform this limit into a new modular centrality that can operate at different times of the day.

Location Kyoto, Japan

Teacher

David Leclerc

In this very stratified situation, where the fish market and the historic district are completely blind, there was talk of mixing activities and erasing the limits in order to reactivate these two worlds, one attractive for its history and the other for his sale of fish at the auction early in the morning.

From Shimabara Park, a footbridge crosses the market from east to west creating a physical link which today does not exist. At the beginning of this crossing a small observation tower becomes a new landmark in the city, a tea room is at its foot. The railway viaduct is used to house modular structures concealing all types of activities. The area between the market and the railways used in the morning for the auction turns into a large public space in the afternoon.

A skate park is created on the roof of the market where currently there is a large underused parking lot. This roof is pierced with large openings to illuminate its underside and the vendors’ stalls.

Teacher

Richard Scoffier

Can the architect build evolving buildings that can change uses over time without the need to demolish them to replace them once they become obsolete?

This was the subject of the workshop which led to the transformation of the Pompidou center in Paris. A building, how many lives?

Beaubourg is a real machine building, aesthetically high-tech, it is recognized for its incredible adaptability and its free platforms of all posts each equivalent to two football fields. Here the project anticipates a possible change of function of the Pompidou center.

The Paris Museum of Contemporary Art is transformed into a real public building open to all, freed from its glass facades, only the structure and circulation are preserved.

The ground floor, which has become fully porous and accessible, hosts a large permanent market. Following the dematerialization of books and culture, the current library located on the first floor is transformed into a large public car park. The second plateau hosts a fully modular sports complex. The third level remains entirely free to be able to receive all kinds of events.

The fourth and last levels, the floor of which is open, becomes a vast lush greenhouse.

The machinist aspect of the building is reinforced by the multiplicity of activities.

Beaubourg is transformed into a real public place on several levels.

This project calls into question the original function of architectural projects.

Benjamin Colboc

In a fictitious city on the Hyppodamian level, the question treated is that of large-scale collective housing. The selected plot is a square plot measuring 100 meters on each side facing a large park. The block containing a large public car park accommodates 6 other apartment buildings.

The project consists of two buildings with the same footprint. An 11-storey block at the south corner along a road and a 29-storey tower north along an avenue facing the park to enhance the view.

A large open atrium crosses each building in its center over their entire height providing natural light to the ground floor.

Each apartment has at least a double orientation in this way.

The housings are arranged around a central core through which pass all the vertical ducts freeing each floor and thus allowing a different configuration on all levels. The accommodation ranges from simple studios to T6 to duplexes. In the center of the tower is a swimming pool for residents, a fitness area and a public restaurant. Residents can enjoy a breathtaking view of the park.

The dark, woven facade marks the skyline of this fictitious city. Its external rigidity completely breaks with the freedom of the much freer interior plans. To the question can we design the facade of an apartment building dotted like an office building this project answers yes!
