[REPLAY] S4#16🇺🇸🇬🇧"The wood at the cutting edge : the new ONF headquarter” Com d'Archi
-
- Design
A prototype building, a daring structure, an ambitious program, the new headquarters of the French National Forestry Office takes up urban, constructive and social challenges.
In this Com d'Archi, written by Anne-Charlotte, based on the French interview with the two agencies, discover this innovative architecture, the largest building made exclusively of French wood.
This project embodies the dualities of contemporary architecture, in a subtle harmony between tradition and disruption, heritage and urban transformation, openness and discretion.
Because, according to Vincent Lavergne 'Architecture is also about breaking down walls'.
How to work between city and park? How to transition from the office tower to the horizontality of the forest? How to accompany the evolution of work modes while offering each user spaces adapted to their preferences? For Samuel Poutoux and Vincent Lavergne, the human dimension has shaped the architecture as much as the urban design or the construction systems. Thus the project consists of two wings, one offering traditional, partitioned work spaces, the other collaborative spaces, linked by an interior street, a forest path. Constructive excellence does not prevent dreaming, quite the contrary.
The transition between the city and the park is just as delicate, thanks to a cantilever at the tip of the plot, a structural feat for an architecture of effacement. From the park, the street appears under the bow of the building.
How can the association of wood and mixed construction systems be a solution to write this complex, dense city? Here is a successful and skilful attempt at a response.
