Education system - as we know it - is based on principles from the Fordism era. Indeed, at the beginning of the 19th century, schools and campus from around the world all started to adopt education methods that were designed to match the industrial world that was raising. The learners were isolated, grouped by age, taught step by step and then finally judged one last time to know whether or not they could be put on the market.

From this analysis, it was interesting to wonder if any other kind of education - and education infrastructure - could be imagined to shape a society that is today way more based on life-long-employability than on the life-long-employment it used to be.

Unlike the education country pilgrimage that was promoted for decades by F. Law Olmsted, the project is located in an urban context to be able to work with the flexibility asked by todays work-world. This urban position will also make coexist two worlds that have been divided until now: education and practice.

Based on that, the project is then divided in three different parts. First, the ground floor: it will be entirely free, public, flexible and self manageable. This would allow people from different work fields, independents, researcher or professional to gather in one place to confront there ideas. Second, the upper floors are fully private, each architectural entities differ by size and floor space, they can be rented by temporary societies, groups of searcher and students or for workshops. Third, the factory, industrial heritage of the site, is totally emptied to produce this out of scale space that can be used for public demonstrations or cultural events of any kind. It becomes a cultural symbol of New York.

The project is acting like a huge public space for education and learning. It does not pretend to compete with the traditional institutions, its here to create a margin of flexibility in todays very segmented education system. Its stressing out the interdependence of the city, the students, the researcher and the professional. By being a knowledge hub as well as a business incubator, it disrupts the fictional frontier between the students world and the professional world. Because of its infrastructural nature, the project is able to evolve constantly towards trending or emerging fields. This full flexibility is a requirement in todays unpredictable society where online education is on the rise.

25H HOTELAgence SEARCH / 16 000sqm / 40m Project Leader on Schematic Design

This project is part of a vast urbanism operation in Paris called Paris Rive gauche, its first phase intended to build large concrete slabs over the suburban train to create some buildable square meters in the heart of Paris. The whole area was then redivided into six parts and a call for project was made public.

In opposition with all the other plots which are about to be filled up with housing and offices, this particular one is dedicated to activities. Right next to it, a gigantic warehouse will reopen in 2016 as a business incubator for new technologies. This building - which will host thousands of workers - creates a high demand for lunch areas, afterworks activies and hotels which are quite rare in the district for the moment.

Our project was designed directly in collaboration with the future owners of the hotel : an hamburg based hotel chain that promotes a new kind of intergenerational hotels with innovative activities. The rooms were dimensioned in regards of theirs accurate specifications and we worked together to find the right amenities to match the district needs.

We wanted the building to behave at an urban scale, it had to keep the existing link between the Bibliotheque National de France and the Halle de Freyssinet so we made this huge opening which act as a roof for workers to lunch under it. The two first floors are dedicated to shops, a bakery and conference rooms for the business man. On the 8th floor, a spa go through the whole building to bring maximum light. The roof was then completely covered with a huge greenhouse that will be naturally ventilated thanks to its shape and large openings. The whole space was then divided in three parts : a vegetable garden for the restaurant and for the visitors to visit, a fruit bar and a restaurant on the last floor which offers a panoramic view over the roof of Paris. The rest of the volume is then occupied with 315 rooms of different size.

PYRAMIDAgence SEARCH / 7000sqm / 40MProject Leader on Schematic Design / Design Development / Team of 2

Since its opening in 1989, Peis pyramid for the Louvre has been a huge success. Today, there are two times more visitor who go through it everyday compared to what was planned at the beginning. In a decade they expect this number to be doubled again. Furthermore, a lot of function that were not planned in the initial project were added during the years : Luggage scanning, Audioguides, online ticketing,... The Project pyramid was launched by the museum in 2014 through a public competition to study a way to make all those new functions work properly together inside the museum.

The whole project was divide in two parts : The first part aim to convert architectural spaces from one function to another in order to redistribute the spaces according to the museum new needs. The second part is about revamping the Louvres signage, furnitures and multimedia devices which also have been completed with a lot of small fixes during the years.

The general idea was to create flexible and very flexible spaces so that it could evolve through the upcoming decades. Uses were considered as if we were in a near future where our smartphones already gave us the infos we needed. A very simple and slightly animated projection will simulate a live view from a above in order to help the visitors understand their location in Paris. Every signage were stripped down to their main information and every furnitures were design to answer the visitors primary needs.

In January of 2015, the tendering packages of both of those projects part were completed after years of visitor flow studies, use projection, signage proposals and furnitures design. The construction should be done by the end of 2016.

ATPAgence SEARCH / 16 000sqm / 40m Project Leader on Schematic Design

A few months ago, LVMH inaugurated their foundation in the Jardin dacclimation in Paris. Fifty meters from it, an abandoned building has been standing there for more than seventy years. This building, originally designed by Jean Dubuisson, used to host the museum for the popular arts and traditions. In 2005, its content was transferred to Rudy Riciottis MUCEM in Marseille, the building has been vacant since then.

This project aims to envision a new qualification for this great icon of the modernism era. Those ideas were submitted to the city of Paris, LVMH, and other potential investors.

In opposition with the foundation Louis Vuitton, this building strikes by its very efficient and minimalistic architecture. The volume is divided in two part : the horizontal part is filled with four slabs which hosts the gallery and some technical spaces, the ground level was originally lit up by skylights which were quickly obstructed right after its completion for the sake of art preservation. The vertical part was originally filled up with offices on all its level.

Three schemes were studied: an extension of the museum dedicated to craftsmen and artists, a white box to host LVMH large scale events, and an hotel. All of theme included the reopening of the skylights and the demolition of multiple slabs to open up a large volume in the horizontal part.

By looking at the traditional mashiya houses, we can quickly understand that the concept of housing in japan is way different from the occidental one. Its usually a very closed space, dark and narrow where multiple generations are living together within a space almost only designed for sleeping. All the other living needs are scattered in the city where everything is naturally shared. This west district of Kyoto that hosted elderly people until now sees a renewal of its population because of the increase in the number of students. In turn, for lack of finding anything else, theyve occupied those old inappropriate houses.

Like capsule hotels, the upper part of the project is made of 122 rooms (or rather beds) reduced to their bare minimum. On the lower level, its a piece of the city that the local inhabitants and the students share because they share needs. This strategy allow us to get a different economic balance that the usual student housing: instead of multiplying every toilets, every kitchens and every living room we gather thing together on the lower level to reinvest this spared money in things that students usually cant afford: Spa, gym, working rooms, cinema,...

In fact, this project is only adjusting to a way of life that have been already widely adopted for economical and spatial reasons in Japan: the house become a room and the city become its living room.

Once the pyramid project was set up in terms of materials and overall strategy, the Louvre requested multiple other small projects to punctuate the visit inside the palace.

Both those projects were designed and built for the Denon aisle which is the most visited aisle of the museum because of the Joconde. Knowing that fifteen thousand visitors will go through each projects every day had a major impact in term of design. The elements had to be very resistant and had to be thought in term of visitor flow. Furthermore, the contractor asked us to go further than a traditional counter, they asked us to find a way to create a shopping feeling even if it had to be really small.

In the Rotonde de Mars - by following lines and symmetry dictated by the existing architecture - we ended up having this very long counter which has a setback in the middle. We just added a small piece of furniture to enclose the shopping space and put the cashier at each entrance.

In the Salon Denon in order to match the scale of this huge room we graduated the heights of the different piece of furnitures to create a vertical feeling. Every blocks were designed based on the products they are showing. A 120sqm carpet was then put to materialize the shopping area.

This projects smartness comes from its economy. In order to increase the value of the lot and to pay off the deep underpinning needed we proposed to add empty floors to rent or to sell on the first four levels.

The project is then laid on these concrete floors thanks to a light weighted steel structure. This combination allow density and diversity which are the main elements of the city.

Since its dedicated to the children, the projects main component is its playground which is also its roof. This roofs shape influences the lower level which host the main space. Then, a big wooden piece of furniture generate the architectural spaces needed.
