Architect Architecte The office project, named YIDIAN, is the outcome of intentions that were completed thanks to the important cooperations among all the contributors. With an open mindedness, the client allowed us to stand firm on our architectural objectives by giving us his confidence. We were able to surround ourselves with experts in order to turn our intentions into reality. Thus the team of Robert-Jan van SANTEN (VSA) joined the Jacques Ferrier Architectures (JFA)’s team. JFA / VS-A The spirit and the context of the project were sent to Robert-Jan since the first exchanges of ideas. VSA technicians started to provide services for Jacques Ferrier Architecture in order to “build the idea.” Then they put forward a further set of technical and architectural solutions. From then, some exciting discussions and exchanges about aesthetics, constructability, economics, materials, etc… were launched. The complicity between JFA and VSA has contributed to the rationality of the project and at the same time gave us an advantage on developing the architectural aspect. JFA / VS-A / Client Discussions about the design were regularly sent to the client in order to get a final solution. The economics of the project and the customer’s attention have quickly became a legitimate driving force in the design. The successful cases of VSA have undergone the test of our architectural requirements and the limited economical budget. To avoid the bad influence of the economy, Robert-Jan van SANTEN followed the standard requirements, which brought added value. JFA / VS-A / Contractor Company This design work wouldn’t be realized without cooperation, an understanding, and a perfect relationship with the company. Since the first designs, VSA insisted on moving closer to become in symbiosis. The contractor company’s ability and Chinese regulations have been taken into account since the VSA’s earliest proposals. The team of VSA’s engineers and architects was quite aware that the company’s validation to VSA’s drawings was an absolute requirement for them to retake the drawings, and to realize them by the company. The contractor company quickly realized that there was no competition, but a complementary relationship. Through this teamwork, we finally achieved a project today which satisfies all contributors.
