... A travers
01This cooperative building comes within the urban framework as a structuring
element in extension of a XIXth block, defined by the street Jean Robert Chouet and its backyard. With the aim of facilitating the animation of the area and favo-
ring social exchanges, the building’s ground floor offers a quiet space in front of the school’s square and proposes several activities, such as shopping, tea-room/
café or workshops. In the upper levels, the double oriented living spaces are ge-
nerous and luminous - despite the town planning of the surroundings - and offer
numerous views from North to South. From public to intimate, the transversality
of the internal circulation naturally defines the appropriated and shared zones of the apartment. Interior walls between bedrooms and living room are replaced
by storage units. This offers flexbility for the apartment typology by variating the size of the rooms and their use.

Leben am Fluß - Construction
02Brandenburg an der Havel benefi ts of the proximity of Berlin, while keeping a strong character of a village and having numerous unused areas as well as seve-
ral high quality existing buildings. The rehabilitation of those and the construc-
tion of new housing types gives the opportunity to target a new population type
interested by a new lifestyle that differentiates itself from the life in the metro-
pole.
In contrary to the rest of the city which hosts activities that target specifi c age groups - creating therefore a clear separation of the generations - the studied
area already hosted numerous activities, whose development would allow the
creation of a new animated centre.
With the will to benefi t from those existing qualities, we decided to use the exis-ting structures and reenforce them in order to create a new district which could
fi t perfectly the actual urban network.We’ve developed therefore a sequence of spaces, whose different atmospheres
attempt to satisfy different lifestyles. Some breakthroughs to the water, whose
public character is compensated by the private courtyard with which it is directly
confronted, have been defi ned in each of the perimeters. The threshold between those two opposite natures is therefore formally created by the morphology of
the building and functionally marked by the internal organisation of the apart-
ments, whose various typologies allow to accomodate a wide public.

The façades of the E-werk and the tram depot characterize the entrance of the
headland of the island. The shrinking that results from the confrontation of the two
industrial buildings ends with an opening on the water front with a large public
space. This is reenforced by the construction of a new bridge that connects the
district to the BUGA 2015 - a large landscape restructuration project of the public
spaces throughout the city. We decided to develop the existing sport and accom-
modation activities in the old structures. On the on hand, a new aisle hosting a
youth hostel is added to the E-werk, marking therefore a formal transition with
the Sport activity area that benefi ts from the height of the existing structure. On the other hand, student houses are developed in the old tram depot. The clear se-
paration between student houses and their common spaces creates the threshold
between the animation of the public square and the private courtyard.

Shifted
03This project concerns the restructuration of an offscale street in Berlin. The Ka-
rl-Marx Allee is in the centre of Berlin and connects in its first part the Alexander-platz with the Strausbergerplatz. The former Stalinallee was used in the 50’s as a
parade place for the soviet army, which explains its oversized scale.
The shift of the Karl-Marx Allee establishes new distances between buildings and
the street and by the same occasion a new perception of the public spaces.
On one side, we create a direct confrontation between the buildings and the
street that is used as a potential to mark a clear and strong threshold that will be
reenforced by the renovation of the old structures in order to reorientate them
towards the street. The other side benefits from a generous space allowing the creation of more gradual thresholds from public to private, which is expressed
by a horizontal layer of public activities.
Finally, the continuous pedestrian way works as the street’s guideline.

In the context of the project « Gare-Lac » in Yverdon (CH), we developed a front built along the main street that aims to mark a strong threshold between the parc and the city. This general threshold is finally reinterpre-ted locally in each block with built barrers revolving around a common public space that defines a threshold between city and garden.Raising as a mass conceptually dug by horizontal and linear circulations and rifts that create the transition from public to private spaces and allow the access to the accommodations, the buildings hold a common garden
that unify the community by its various fonctions.The double-oriented living spaces develop themselves therefore in this duality of relationships between city and garden, marked by a continuity regrouping the kitchen, dining room and living room. The difference of height within the apartment naturally defines the spaces and the different appropriation zones.The extra floor of the maisonette apartments allows the room to develop themselves above the exterior distributive corridor.

The Hive
05The same way a hive would work, the Phd students working teams are regrouped in different cells of 3 to 5 persons arranged along the façade and revolving around a central reunion space. Composed from a principal meeting space and two appropriable smaller cells that can host private meetings. The central modulable element can entirely open itself towards
the various workplaces, according to its usage, in order to create an open discussion space.Introduced by two reading areas, the open space plan allows each cell to interact easily with each other and with the supervisors, who are located in the centre of the space.

As we had the shape for starting point, resulting from previous exercises, this work has been about finding an activity that would use the quality of the existing space. The movement, flows and meetings, that defines this volume as a transition space between different circulation flows, using the existing dynamism of the shape of the space, created an interesting theme
to work on.The intrinsic dynamism was indeed created by three flows of different na-tures that are confronted and balanced; Two continuous flows of opposite direction that overlay a rest zone. The two stairs illustrate those two cros-sing opposite flows, which allow to confrontative and differentiate them.
