Furthermore, Orly has a strategic location regarding the “Grand Paris” program being at the outskirts of the upcoming suburban zone materialized by a new transportations belt (trains and metro in a concentric and radial organization). This belt will link the major suburban cities together along with Paris airports and train stations.

My project consists in developing a site shaped and streamlined as an island, with a totally introverted 80 000-seat entertainment complex.

The site, a sterile industrial zone, isolated and hyper connected, matches with the paradox of the project: hypo-insularity.

So far, it appears that the challenge is to create a built-in structure, similar to a city in terms of dimensions and functioning. Its conception, development and scale is the result of an analysis of the people in and out flows in a short period of time.

Paris

This project find its origin in a real request from the French Rugby Association (FFR): the development of a coherent project (site, needs and functioning) with a strong and symbolic concern to achieve a place devoted to sports and to promote rugby in the North of France.

I selected the site from the FFR shortlist and chose the city of Orly which best met all the requirements: local, regional and international connecting facilities. Orly is a nodal point in the Paris urban district which concentrates all types of transportation: train (freight & passengers, national and regional lines), automobile (major motorways cross the site) and plane (Orly Airport is within a stone throw).

80 000-seat Stadium, Sports & entertainment complex

Orly, France

StadiumMetropolis

Orly

MAXI PLAN R+3 500E.indd 1 03/07/2012 20:26:38

MethodThe entertainment resort is entirely pedestrian with underneath different layers: a six-platform train station above which is a circular 3 lane-motorway with intersections to get into a two-level car park housing 4500 parking places. The project is based on the analysis of successive bottlenecks considering the chronological order in which visitors and workers enter the stadium. This methodology gives an approximate scale of the project: the ring dimension is given by the size of the car park and the number and width of the footbridges by the number of pedestrians (80 000) having to get out in less than 15 min. In addition to this, we understand that no other places could host this stadium without massive investments in transportation facilities.These key elements are spatially organized in two directions: first from underground zones (train station and indoor motorway) to higher levels (tribunes), and secondly from exterior (outside the public piazza) to central point (sports field).

Programmatic mixThe whole project intends to create a dynamic stadium able to attract all types of audiences: sports, of course but also entertainments, offices, hotels, shops and sport facilities, maintaining its activity at the level of major centres in Paris metropolis area. In order to create this unity of the stadium and the whole complex, the public piazza is continuous from the ring to the inner stadium, but also, all the minor functions of the stadium (police, logistic, media hosting, reception, administration) are located in the ring, giving the image of a boneless stadium.

Competition, rehabilitation700-student secondary school+gymnasium

Chatillon

The competition site is the Paul Eluard Secondary School built in the suburban city of Paris, Chatillo. It consists in rehabilitating the school’s main wing on one side and to create a new gymnasium on the other. The analysis first revealed the lack of anticipation from the city to organize the construction while

students had to stay at school during the three-year worksite. In addition, the building itself had no patrimonial qualities regarding history or conception. It is a 1960’s three-storey longitudinal building, with wide and old windows, narrow corridors and stairways built in concrete and deprived of isolation. Also the implemented costs were high; it didn’t allow reaching high environmental goals. For these reasons, we took an opposite view regarding the wing in building a whole new one along the street, keeping the old one at the bottom of the site. This gave the advantage not to disturb the school life during works and guaranteed a safe worksite for children and workers. Relocate pupils and staff over one summer became possible. The new building could

reach much more easily higher energetic and environmental goals. We only had to dismantle the old building where we had planned to build the gymnasium. The costs of this proposal were analysed by a consulting firm and validated. Even though we knew our project did not match with the title of the conpetition it seemed to be our duty to give this analysis and proposal. The results of the competition are not yet given, it appears that there will be no laureate, and the city will launch a new competition soon.

Having to deal with the antique Rome heritage, thinking about the best way to create a good collaboration between the new and the old, we settle a new historical heritage strategy: Prefer merging to side by side collage.

I find it a difficult and melancholy business, I must confess, separating the old Rome from the new.

Richard Wendorf quotes Goethe in Piranesi’s Double Ruin

We take advantage of the architectural qualities of the coliseum, giving back its part in the city life, bringing it some new uses, giving a new life to the old stones and spaces. This interpretation implies adding, at the same time, a private initiative and public spaces for Romans, and retaining ruins as an open ur-ban museum.We propose giving an inner point of view of Rome instead of a global landscape from above, merging the spa in the coliseum. We create windows towards the antique arena but also to the surroundings monuments, guests become actors of this mythic place.

Designed for a disadvantaged zone in the suburbs of Lille, the project had two parts: a boarding school and a city building hosting a gymnasium and a small concert hall. The foothold reconciles the construction of a set of three triangular buildings around a courtyard in keeping each one’s autonomy. The estate is unified by the facade’s material and pattern: glazed bricks and arcade pattern. Bricks are commonly used in the north and suggest the building is part of the city and integrates public functions. But its glazed blue bricks add a modern and new touch in the morose landscape, introducing new social actions and community equipment.

Furthermore, the arcades give pedestrians an insight into the ensemble. The sight is filtered and centred thanks to the arcades and the glass separations. Even though the outsiders can partly see inside and the public ground is continuous, the access is controlled at the arcades.Perspectives done by an external studio-Models and Photos-CAD drawings

Extension of a small arquitecture museum

Buenos Aires

The competition was held for architects and FADU’s students, its aim was to give ideas for a hypothetical extension of a small museum in the centre of the city. The original museum is set up in a vertical building which was originally a railway observation post apart from the urban space. The proposal intends to occupy the ground and make a connection to the street.It makes a minimal link with the ancient building. The formal aspect of the building is a belt slightly unbalanced with the existent geometry. This belt offers a partial transparency to let see the building from the street. It wears a light formal shape, unstuck from the ground using stilts.The result is open longitudinal space, creating a tension between old and new.

3 000 m² exposition museumEl Tigre, Argentina

The project is a 3000m² museum for fine arts of Argentina’s collection. It’s located at the estuary of the river La Plata, the land is a marshy ground cut by river arms. The whole city of El Tigre is made of hundreds of islands. The museum is on one of the major island and benefits a road connection. The main transportation medium is boat. The museum develops between these two sides, offering equivalent qualities for both accesses(river and road). The visitors ‘course is a spiral way going progressively up to the rooftop, where it is possible to enjoy the sight of the delta. The path is organized around a two patios and a high library hall. This gives sights to the inside and creates the introverted atmosphere needed in a museum.

6 500 m² exposition museumBuenos Aires, Argentina

The museum is dedicated to Alicia Penalba’s works, and a third of the exposition surface to temporary exhibitions. The site is in Buenos Aires itself, in a very dense part of the city. The space available is tiny, and in a L form. The building, massive and tall has to deal with the surrounding. The theme of party walls was important in the site. For this reason, the main entrance of the museum is made in an opening fault, which is even more dramatic at night with the light of the museum coming from inside. The fact that a museum, which should be a free and wide space, has to be constrained by its neighbors gave the way to the shape of the building. It gets out of the block with a torsion move as if it was forced. To reinforce the aspect of a naturally constrained rock, the skin is meant to be as homogenous and opaque as possible, it is made of perforated corten steel. Finally the inside visitors path is thought as a series of very different rooms in scale, made exclusively for the sculptures of Alicia Penalba.

Economic construction6 days, 7 workers, 650€, cheap and re-used materials

The idea of this pavilion was to try to build something with a group of friends. The site is at the countryside, one hour driving from Paris. The pavilion is watertight and isolated. Foundations are made of recuperated concrete blocks. Structure is made of cheap pine wood. All windows are recuperated, or made up with wood and glass. Isolation is made of rock wool. Exterior facing and water tightening are done with undulated transparent polycarbonate and a simple plastic film at the bottom under the floor. Interior’s facing is done with OSB.

concrete VaultedVersailles

A six months history analysis exercise in third year of license led to think about relations and evolution of structures through XIX, XX and XXI centuries. The group was formed of 15 students. We first worked on building references (Bourse of Paris, Pantheon of Paris) and technical history (traditional apparatus and assembling). From all those examples, the principle of vault structures made of wooden small pieces (“Structure de voûte à petits bois”, Viollet-Le-Duc) seemed very interesting and barely forgotten today. The reason is that concrete does not permit to use such thin pieces and is made to be a “one piece structure”, but today’s evolution led us to think that it’s now possible with Ultra High Performance Concretes. These are new types of concrete composed of very thin concrete, very little sand and aluminum fibers. This technology is used for exceptional infrastructures.

Creation of an historically inspirated structureExperimentation of a new material

Versailles, France

Our project wasinspired by our historical analysis and knowledge of traditional know-how. We reproduced a vault structure with small pieces, but adapted to concrete and integrating the use of 3D computing. The project got sponsored by an important French concrete firm (VICAT) which financed the whole material for trials and final work. We made all the pieces ourselves, in a big construction lab, where we made the formworks and poured the concrete. The structure was assembled in Versailles Architecture School, then dismantled and assembled for a professional concrete show in Marseilles on Vicat’s stand.

The idea of this table came from the fact that dozens of test concrete slats were thrown away (from the project above). In regards of their financial and ecological cost, it seemed to be a waste to not re-use them. Furthermore, the aesthetic qualities of this half industrial objects and its brutal material make it beautiful. The wood comes from an old dismantled house gate. All materials were cleaned and prepared to be worked as it stands. The assembling is inspirited from traditional wood works

The aim of this work was to produce a furniture set designed by the studio. The design focused on simple materials and fabrication processes to guarantee low prices and fast fabrication. The drawings presented are the schedules of the prototypes handed to the craftsman in charge of the production. Each object has a little booklet to explain how it is made. In the end, it is an attempt to create modern furniture, designed and produced by small firms on demand, and at low prices.
