EVERYONE TAKES PICTURES THESE DAYS. THE QUESTION IS WHAT YOU DO WITH THEM.

​

 

MASTER STUDENT AT ÉCOLE NATIONALE SUPÉRIEURE D’ARCHITECTURE OF VERSAILLES, 23 YEARS OLD, I ASPIRE TO CONTRIBUTE TO ARCHITECTURE AS A DOMAIN WITH A PERSONAL YET UNIVERSAL APPROACH - AS I TRY TO ANCHOR IT AS MUCH AS I CAN INTO A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTION THROUGHOUT HISTORY. I AM PURSUING ERUDITION AND COMPREHENSION, ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR CLARITY IN COMPLEXITY… I LIKE TO SHARE WHAT I SEE AND LEARN, TO FORM POINTS OF VIEW. 

 

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR LEARNING PROCESS AS AN ARCHITECT, IS ARCHITECTURAL VISITS. WHAT TO DO OF THOSE SEMANTIC EXPERIENCES ? DURING THEM YOU TAKE PICTURES, MAKE DRAWINGS, WRITE TEXTS. BUT THE DRAWERS OF THE DESK ARE FILLED, AND THE SD CARD MEMORY SATURATED. THERE COMES THE IMPORTANCE OF ARCHIVING: ARCHIVING ALLOWS ONE TO SPEND TIME WONDERING ON WHAT ONE DID, TO SORT AND SELECT, TO BE CRITICAL. CLASSIFYING MAKES ONE REDISCOVER, MAKES ONE SEE. 

 

WHILE YOU’RE REHASHING YOUR THOUSANDS PHOTOGRAPHS, ANALYTICALLY SELECTING THE ONES THAT WOULD INTRIGUE THE ARCHITECT’S TRAINED EYE, YOU’RE LEARNING THROUGH YOUR OWN EYE’S EXTENSION : THE CAMERA. SUBCONSCIOUSLY, OR HAPHAZARDLY, YOU CAPTURED SOMETHING YOU HADN’T SEEN BEFORE THE TWENTIETH EXAMINATION. AS A TOOL, PHOTOGRAPHY, MORE THAN THE REST, ASKS FOR ARCHIVING - FOR TIME AND FOR ATTENTIVE GAZING. 

 

THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM MY PERSONAL ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCES ARE BEING ARCHIVED, HERE. THIS WEBSITE WORKS AS AS A SECOND MEMORY OF MINE, A WEALTH OF EVOCATIONS AND IMPRESSIONS - SOMETHING TOWARDS WHICH I BUILD MYSELF, AS AN ARCHITECT.
