""Etant donné un mur, que se passe-t-il derrière ?" - Jean Tardieu

        Je met un tableau sur un mur. Ensuite j'oublie qu'il y a un mur. Je ne sais plus ce qu'il y a derrière ce mur, je ne sais plus qu'il y a un mur, (...) il n'est plus qu'un support pour le tableau." - Georges Perec, Espèces d'espaces                                                 

Based on the dialogue between a wall and a Canvas, this project is about how they erase each other and work together in unity. 

The existing walls of Lausanne and Paris have to interact with the cross column in order to create a spacial connection between the two cities and around the column.

As a mix of the work of R. Serra, Strike and B. Naumann, the green corridor; this project is about feeling compression through vertical planes that work with original walls to create unity

Confound:

"to mingle so that the elements cannot be distinguished or separated"

Dependence:

"the state of relying on or needing someone or something for aid, support, or the like." 

From those two words I started to think about how the cross column could interact with the walls and the slab in a way that the walls are mixing with the column and how they could help hiding each others.

Concept & research Drawing                             Mold drawing

    

We focused on the space generated by the different walls all around creating vertical and horizontal plans. Without having any relation to each other, they generate a space as if they were all linked. By creating this space, a new frame is opened. Based on this picture, the balustrade hides the ground and it makes us imagine a new horizon.

We want to create a bed on that imaginary floor, articulated to a window which would add a new spatial condition to the bed
