is born (and stuck) in 1994, Arch. Dipl. EPFL (2021).
Navigates between art, architecture, illustration, furniture and web design. Tries to be imaginative no matter the field.
Develops "Moratorium." as a personal approach since 2017, researching ways to conceive an architecture that solely develops within existing buildings.
Hands-on, always happy to leave the screen and hop into modification work.
Collects swatches and dvds, amongst other objects considered as obsolete today.
is born in 1995, Arch. Dipl. EPFL (2021).
Deeply invested in the social and theoretical aspects of architecture, always trying to materialize theories into meticulous models and drawings to bridge the gap between physical and mental production.
Especially interested in the way space constructs gender and identities.
Fascinated by Swiss post-modern design and mineral patterns.
Collector of shiny raincoats and other weird things like PEZ distributors and Harry Potter Legos.
HOTEL BIVOUAC is mainly an infrastructural intervention.
By creating an elevated platform where needed, the project secures the building while redefining the spaces and providing an imaginative use of the condition that was born from the ruins.
This addition is constructed in steel and is anchored to the masonry walls, which reinforces the bearing structure of the building by recreating links that have been weakened by the rotting wood.
The second part of the intervention consists of the rehabilitation of the east wing of the hotel, to provide a kitchen, a communal room, and sanitary facilities to visitors.
The ruins of HOTEL BIVOUAC acts as a shelter for a strange bivouac, allowing people to experience the hotel singularly, by camping in its abandoned rooms. Aside from its regular use as a bivouac, the hotel can be booked and used for special events, exhibitions, fashions shows, concerts, and so on...
The absence of predefined functions and the cold practicality of the infrastructure allows for a wide array of appropriation.

In a time when we know that exponential growth can only lead to a global disaster, what should architecture become?
How can architects cope with a profession that, by serving the population, is at the core of one of the most waste-producing and polluting industries, thus hurting the population?
