Au Sud de Paris, la révolution industrielle dans la région de la Beauce n’a été qu’agricole du fait de la richesse de ses sols et de sa faible topographie, devenant le “grenier à blé de France”. Cela a engendré un appauvrissement de son paysage rural et de ...
En 1853, Napoléon III demande au Baron Haussmann de restructurer et transformer Paris. Afin d’aérer et de moderniser cette ville hyperdense, celui-ci va créer un système urbain et architectural afin de redessiner rapidement la capitale française. L’élément ...
Face à la production artistique contemporaine, l’architecte concepteur de musée peine à trouver sa place. La distorsion entre art et architecture est plus flagrante encore dans un genre particulier d’infrastructure muséale: le musée monographique. Ce type ...
Raffinée et inventive, l’œuvre de Gunnar Asplund incarne une manière de concevoir l’architecture qui fera de Stockholm et de la Suède un modèle en Europe dès les années 1920. À la recherche d’une spatialité complexe et virtuellement illimitée, Asplund écha ...
In 1909, Rafael Guastavino Jr. designed the 93-foot-wide dome of the Cathedral of St John the Divine, Harlem, NY. As the thinnest brick shell in the world, the dome is also a clear example of construction efficiency and material optimization. This paper re ...
The recent development of the “Common” as an interdisciplinary field of reflection seems to show some restraint with respect to the architectural culture that precedes it. This proposal invites to explore the intensities and the reasons for such a resistan ...

This article presents a new lightweight construction system for doubly curved shells made from timber plates, inspired by the masonry vaults of Eladio Dieste. The system was developed for a specific case-study project, and general applications to other fre ...
In this work, we introduce a newly developed passive and frictionless diamagnetic contactless suspension rotor with electrostatic glass motor. A 20 mm diameter disc-shaped rotor comprised of pyrolytic graphite with glass is fabricated. The rotor is diamagn ...
We demonstrate the fabrication of a 3D polymer/glass micromechanical sensor by combining two femtosecond laser direct writing processes: subtractive laser-assisted chemical etching combined with additive two-photon polymerization techniques. In the first s ...
