I'm a graduated architect and urbanist from EPFL - Switzerland. Through academical and business experiences, I learned architecture and urbanism, focusing on environnemental and societal topics such as agriculture, sustainable materials and collaborative working. I am now working in Europe as a free-lance architect. I would be pleased to join you to develop projects about several topics:
You want to design
a building or a space?
You need a complete investigation of a site or an environment before starting your project?
You need help to built
a bio-sourced building?
You need to deconstruct a building and you want to do it low-carbon, reusing the materials?
You need help to rethink your eco-system
to adress challenges of tomorrow?
You want to investigate a field to plan
a pertinent plan of action?
