“The founding wish is to produce a shape that preserves the heart of the site, to conceive buildings with projected shadows that have no impact on the neighbours or the different parts of the project.” AF
Our reflection is based on a research of dialog between the volume of the project built on the site 1 that begins the renewal of the neighbourhood and the body of our building. Our process is to multiply the attempts in order to find how to be coherently part of the surrounding urban landscape. The founding wish is to produce a shape that preserves the heart of the site, to conceive buildings with projected shadows that have no impact on the neighbours or the different parts of the project.
A basis in ceramics clarifies the limit between public and private spaces, favouring a collective life outside the plots, on Emile-Roux street and towards Camille-Guérin square.
