Here, architecture is an instrument of environments

Video — 2023

This project constitutes a continuous experiment around habitat and ways of inhabiting, exploring subtle architecture as an instrument of environments and sensitive inhabited space: atmospheres, traces, light, memory, reflection, projection, materials, colors, wind(ilation), temperature, vegetation (within the city), flexibility, frugality, reuse, smells, sounds, appropriation, transformability, chance, rhythms, synergies of use, habitability, body positioning within space, individual and relational perspectives.

Inhabited space expands within volume, notably through Relief Furniture (demonstration developed during lockdown through 1 narrative and 14 one-minute films). It plays with environments to generate new environments and regularly surprises its inhabitants.

This ar(t)chitecture, conceived as a living space in motion, finds some of its roots in the works of Claude Parent, Gordon Matta-Clark, Isidore Isou, Dan Graham, Marcel Duchamp and Nicolas Schöffer.

It was important for me (EC) to conceive a place allowing the easy and almost immediate implementation of ideas under development within an inhabited space. A way of testing them daily, at the small scale of habitat, on myself and my relatives, in order to evaluate and improve the effects, perceptions and resonances of certain architectural concepts related to the senses, spatiality and living together.
