Experience

A single working method : tailor-made and codesign.

For us, each project is unique.

The co-constructed development process enhances the discussion, improves our understanding and develops our ability to respond to everyone's requests accurately and precisely.

We involve our clients to fully understand their needs, their working methods, their organisation and their project.
We can thus challenge the order, enhance the discussion, and surpass ourselves to develop the right project.

Co-design is the rule because sharing ideas and iterations is the only way to design ambitious but achievable projects that serve the uses of today and tomorrow.

Tools & methods

To develop our projects in an open and partnership-based manner, we use tools - and their dedicated teams - capable of accelerating, enhancing or challenging the development process. Without aiming to be exhaustive, our practice of augmented architecture is based on four main pillars:

Data and digital
All projects are developed from ever more numerous, interwoven and systemic data. The augmented architecture we promote amplifies this phenomenon, by developing ad-hoc data collection and processing tools (Patriarche UX) and augmented methods of spatial projection and drawing (BIM, AI, etc.).
Design narrative & communication
Since sharing an idea implies giving ourselves the means to communicate it well, we use the precepts of design narrative to anchor our projects in their context and their history by weaving links, and exploring paths which, although they may occasionally appear indirect, ultimately facilitate their proper appropriation.
Laboratory / think tank
The agency has structured an internal research laboratory to provide a constant flow of food for thought, the Laboratory of Emerging Practices (LPE) which develops, with external and academic partners, prospective thinking and applied research programmes.
Models
For us, the proper representation of a project is based on a subtle balance between virtual representation (perspectives, media, etc.) and physical, palpable representation. That’s why we have a 250 m2 workshop and a team of professionals for creating study and rendering models at all scales and in all materials.
