PROJECTS / ANALYZES
FRAMED CITY
In certain situations, student housing set aside of the local community its users and provides them an isolated and lonely environment during weekends and holidays.
The project proposes a new urban scheme for the housing which would be combined with public programs. The student house appropriate the needed space within the metal frame, looking for view and light. The town comes then to fill up the rest of the grid with a market and a park, creating streets in the neighborhood.

URBAN CONNECTION
In this exercise, each group was free to choose a site in the town of Montreux in order to apply the conceptual researches established within the previous semester.
We have been interested in an inaccessible gap around which ‘alternative’ programs have taken place, such as a second hand shop, a skate park and a night club. Pre-viously, the gap was occupied by industrial sheds connected with the railroad.
The objective is to make this space public by revalorizing it with the existing elements and new infrastructures; while respecting the strong caractere of the place: creat a small place on the upper street; turn the programs towards the gap to provide them vi-sibility and accessibility, fluidize the routes; use the main place as a showcase through events organized by the users.
QUATRE TABLES
Our installation was situated in Lausanne, on the catwalk connecting the metro to the Chauderon Bridge.
In this dense and agitated urban context, we wanted to offer to the passerby a break in his journey. The table invite, through drawing, to contemplate the magnificent view over the Jura which the topography of the town provides.
The installation is, in other words, an ‘out of context’ machine. Made of wooden as-semblies, the table is fully dismountable and uses the bridge’s rail to stand.
MUR ET DALLE
In this assignment, we were given an abstract field where we needed to position ourselves and define our relation with the neighbors
While still being conscious of the surrounding, we are accompanied in a progressive way by the walls and the ground. The more the space gets tight, the more view you get. Arrived at the apogee of the embrace of the walls, the pressure release when we step out of the field.
Malator House by Future Systems1998, Pembroke shire, Wales
The house is situated in a beautiful landscape and uses different tricks to disappear in its surrounding.
The architects were able to design a house which is capable of reducing its footprint on the heritage while still provi-ding to the inhabitants the breathtaking view on the bay.
From behind, the building blends in the landscape with earth banks and a turf roof.
From the front, the glass facade conti-nues the camouflage by reflecting the sky. The house disappears in the clouds.
When the view goes through the facade, the inner pods take over. Their strong green colour shine on the inside. The construction blends in the vegetation like a chameleon.
Goldenberg House by Louis I. Khan
1959, non-realized
The center is occupied by a patio. Around it, a serving strip distribute the rooms in the house which seems to spread from the center.
