01. Un nouveau rapport aux structures et à la matière des chantiers

At the turn of the 21st century, in reaction to technological innovations, the debate on the standardization of architecture—particularly its form—has resurfaced. Simultaneously, the digital and environmental transitions have reopened spaces for innovation in design, especially regarding materials, their manufacture, and their implementation. This first section examines how experimentation and prototyping enabled the assembly of complex structures and the invention of new assemblies, and how this legacy allows us to approach a new relationship with materials and materiality today.
