PAlAdru, 2009 ENSA GrENoblE - licENcE 2 Le projet est rvlateur des potentialits architecturales du lieu. Lobjectif ici est donc de se confronter un site rel afin den saisir les enjeux. La parcelle en pente est ramnage en trois plateaux, sparant les fonctions. Au premier niveau, lalignement marque la transition entre la ville et lespace amnag. Il annonce le rapport au cadrage du paysage lacustre. Sur le reste de la pente, le bati est intgr au terrain et les toits deviennent accessibles. La vue sur le lac est ainsi libre pour les espaces intrieurs et exterieurs.

chirollES, 2009 ENSA GrENoblE - licENcE 3 Ce projet sinscrit dans un contexte particulirement enclav: le quartier des grands ensembles situs louest dEchirolles est spar du centre ville par une zone industrielle, une voie de chemin de fer et le cours Jean Jaurs analys pralablement. Au RDC, un ple multimodal permet de crer de nouveaux liens entre ce quartiers et les centres daglomrations (Grenoble, Echirolles), mais aussi de proposer des alternatives durables au transport automobile individuel (vlo, transports en commun) afin de rduire son impact sur lenvironnement et sur le bien tre des habitants. Aux tages, des logements collectifs participent la densification urbaine tout en favorisant la mixit et le lien social, favoris par la mutualisation de certains espaces. Rflexions diffrentes chelles sur un espace urbain enclav : rorganisation des modes de transport, mixit programmatique et typologies de logement innovantes.

moNTrEAl, 2010 mcGill uNivErSiTy - mASTEr 1 This proposal is ruled by a strong interrelation between structure form, plans organization, openings and exterior skin. From the exterior, the building seems to be an enclosed. The luminous skin makes the link between the interior activity, and the exterior perception. The tilt allows a maximum illumination from the large openings of the roof, and also reinforces the idea of an ancient artifact, buried in the ground since a long time. The offset frees two large spaces : a public place for Cultural Center activities and a park that increases natural environment and privacy. The Cultural Center spaces are located on the ground floor, and the library on the first floor, on a large open floor plan area. The central reception area allows access to all the public spaces.

Desert Drops is discreet and surprising, without imposing itself to landscape but inviting to discovering it in a new light. Its a contextual architecture, miming the formal rules of the place. It also proposes a new poetic experiment of the desert, between infinity of earth and sky.

The pattern creates shapes of ETFE modules. ETFE modules are inflated in order to create a thermally efficient skin.

The same pattern in a circle is used for the coverage.

The intersections of the pattern form the supporting structure.

The hollowness of the structure provides air insufflation for ETFE modules. The original grid represents the flatness of the desert. The Voronoi diagram mimics the patterns of the salt cracks. The random placement of the central point and rotation creates the oddness of the shapes. The soil lowering, according to shapes based on voronoi diagram, establishes the living space. The contrast between materials increases the sensation of sinking into the desert ground.

It becomes the formal Generation indeterminism into the creation process. complex way to introduce the natural notion ofby iterative process

The morphology is determinated by observation and mimicry of organic geometry of salt cracks. A computational process allows to create an infinity of formal answers. Then, the choice of one of them is used for one living space, as a formal guideline for the whole design process.
