It's about design experimentation combined to a research of coherence between technique (structure and construction) and architecture resting on a construction material.
Key-words : architecture, material, (concept of) structure, (detail of) construction, synergy.
The aim is :
- to elaborate and concretise an architectural idea and to bring an architectural idea to a constructible state in order to define the architectural project.
- to study the material in all of its dimensions and its link to its physical, economical and technical environment.
- to take conscience of the structural choices and the establishment of the construction modes in ordre to improve the creative development of the architectural design.
