Architecture
 

I'm for the moment mostly involved in private clients which I cannot render public here. Mostly transformations and extensions of existing buildings. Once the projects are (hopefully ;-) finished, I will share some pictures.

On the other hand I am proud that the Omega90 building is now finished and in use, and that we got very nice critics from either press, users and visitors. The pictures attached are from Vic Fischbach from imedia Luxembourg. Enjoy. This project was a very interesting experience and I thank all the people involved for the good collaboration.

As of being promoted to a full charge job at the office, I will present some projects I am currently working on.

I'm working for the Schmitz & Hoffmann Architectes Sàrl. office in Luxembourg city as 'Architecte stagiaire'. They are specialized in environmental architecture, building with concrete and public spaces.

The projects reach from small pavilions to school campuses, family houses to complex medical centres.

For the few of you waiting to see the final publication of my memorandum and diploma works, please have some more patience. I am for the moment doing a new presentation including images and documents to the text. This new book-form will be more pleasant to read and understand.

Now that some friends, who have no initial knowledge on urbanism and architectural theories, have read my thesis, and actually understood and apreciated it, I felt some motivation to do something about the academical presentation, which I think is complete nonsense for architectural publications.

This is a first year project. We had the chance to participate during the second semester at school in an architecture contest. The subject was Micro-architecture.

Short workshop project for the Jacques VIEILLE workshop et the ESA October 2007. The subject of the workshop was: Nature et Artifice (Natural and Artificial).

Some aspects of nature are defined by mathematical formulas, corresponding to certain functions of plants. I took the sunflower and the hemlock flowers as reference. The sunflower looking towards the sun, by following its path in the sky, the hemlock as a Lindenmayer, path fractal system.

 This project is the result of a very short Workshop with Peter Macapia in 2007 at the ESA. The subject was the transformation of a simple geometric object by the context.

 We decided to work on the entrance to Paris by train, so the project is situated near to the "Gare de l'Est", where a few months after the workshop the TGV est would arrive. So creating a moving entrance into Paris seemed an interesting interpretation of the subject.

The essence of a new Parisian restaurant and its style is closely linked to the general motivation of visiting and enjoying the Ile de France and Paris in particular. As most visitors are especially drawn by the historical monuments, the food and the dream of the paradigmatic french luxury this restaurant is in a way a hedonistic aproach to the “visit france” style.

The process of preparation, presentation and consumption of food are not so far away from the principles of the physical attraction, pleasure or even act of love.

GPS and Google Earth have immersed everywhere in our lives.

Those technologies have us made forget about the feeling of geographic position. We have learned to get around in every place on earth, drawn lines we ought to follow. Do we need a gadget to find our way around a city? Do we have to know where the north is, do we have to follow a traced path to get from one place to another?

Imagine being free of this technology and having another way of orienting ourselves.
