COURT*CIRCUIT. Steel Competition

Concours Acier 2010. The brief asks for a steel pavillion to host a post diploma specialization unit in architecture/engineering. Our answer tries to combine a great simplicity in terms of design process and spatial organisation so to focus the (at)tension on the parametric structure.

"MatMax" - Algeco competition 2009

"Models are real" says Olafur Eliasson (in a much more interesting sense...). Well then, in order to test and demonstrate the flexibility and efficiency of our solution for an elementary school using Algeco's modular system, we found only a model would bring synthetic answers (scale 1:50). This was our first attempt to fast'n (not so) dirty match a competition's brief : at once, testing, correcting and representing the actual state of our experimentations without worrying about (other kinds of) drafts. Drafts are real too, I guess.

Awaiting results of the 2009 Algeco competition / should be in may... I will then post pics from the freshest, nicest, most playfull, colourfull model ever made and seen (by my partner and I).

Sacca San Mattia - Venice Lagoon Park

Entry for the 2007 2G competition, then developped at the Landscape Master Class in Venice. This is a collective proposal for an evolving park on the artificial industrial island of San Mattia near Murano in the Venice Lagoon. The topography, vegetation and functions of the park change over the time, seasons, years... as the water/earth limit fades to eventually turn the island into a Lagoon factory.
