His work draws on all fields of experience. He privileges dialogue with diverse users, conducts experimentation on questions of memory, form and distantiation. He undertakes through the project, and in particular and sometimes constrained contexts, an architecture of experience that expresses its value by the precision of the means engaged. The constance of this architect’s theoretical and constructive preoccupations lead him to highlight the profoundly singular character of every creation.
