Charlotte Allard
is an architect and thinks of architecture as a succession of hands stretched out towards parallel fields: illustration, crafts, writing, the landscape… Memory, along with its formal translations, is a subject with which she has been playing since her studies at École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Paris–Belleville, convinced that no formal answer may be thought up without compromising with the past. Each trip she takes is also an occasion for research, whether that be through drawing, writing or engagement.

2:PM Architectures
is the merging of three associate architects, three friends who graduated from different cities: Bordeaux, Paris and Rennes. 2:PM Architectures is the opposite of inertia, it is the movement, it is the sprawling animal, the being with several heads, it is attempts, instability situations, the refusal of any comfort zone, and the collective research. Acquire and dare. 2:PM Architectures is an attempt to persuade itself, to convince others, to materialize ideas, to know, to answer questions, to better know each other. It is a commitment to the use, drawing by projecting oneself in a user experience. This is practicing an architecture and urbanism of sensations, surprises, porosity and friction.

Yann Bastard
is from a bumpy academic course in graphic design. He has been reproached one day for drawing “lil mickeys” and he understood that his practice was more the one of an illustrator. He works mainly in digital field, which is allows him to split up each component of the imagery in numerous geometric modules, in the style of like a construction game. When he decides to use traditional technics, his drawings look more like sketches made during a phone call.

Melody Blond
"Not even afraid" is her motto, a young 30-year-old illustrator based in Paris. It's after marketing and advertising studies that she realizes that it's not really her cup of tea. Or rather coffee, which she drinks in liters every day drawing in her corner. She turns to advertising, she will be assistant D.A at Leg for 1 year. She then turns to journalism, she will become editor of a music magazine for 2 years. Very beautiful era. But that is not enough for her, she decides to launch herself and make her leisure her job. She did her first exhibition at Sesame, on Canal Saint-Martin, then at Black Bird Tattoo, Batofar, Atelier Meraki for Balthazare Magazine and recently at Season and Valérie Delaunay Gallery or at TBWA. His drawings are always accompanied by a small sentence, a play on words and his favorite animal: the wolf. Melody likes Sempé as much as Jean Jullien and cites as much The Cure as Rihanna in his drawings. She will be named as the talent to be followed by Strategy magazine in 2016. She collaborates with My Little Paris, Frichti, R.A.D, Fricote, Black Gaazol, Ma Demoiselle Pierre, The Chocolate of the French, Microsoft, Seven Five, The Niçois and the festival Cabourg my Love. Humor, wit and spontaneity. Amen.

This is translated in his practice into an effort to reveal the essential features of urban development (energy networks, infrastructure) and address their architectural form. He questions the potential of the architect’s role in the search for these traces: land degradation, soil pollution, and in the possible architectural responses. Following an exchange at the Glasgow School of Art he has begun research into virtual space and its means of production.

Pierre Charpin
Since the early 90s artist, designer and set designer Pierre Charpin has primarily been designing furniture and objects. His training in fine art at the École des Beaux - Arts de Bourges in the early 80s has been a strong influence on his work and has informed his research into form, colour and the application of patterns onto objects. This approach manifests itself in the limited series of objects produced as much as in his collaborations with internationally recognised brands. His consistent use of simple, elementary forms goes hand in hand with his desire to create objects that establish a strong relationship with the space around them. Drawing is the foundation of his creative process, both as a design tool and as an end in itself.

matali crasset
is a trained industrial designer. Just like one of her emblematic creations, the “When Jim Comes to Paris” hospitality object, she adheres to a methodology all her own. She constantly questions the salience of the codes governing our daily lives, freeing herself of them to further experiment. She develops new typologies articulated around concepts like modularity, appropriation, flexibility, and networks. Her work, emerging from the 1990s as the rejection of pure form, is conceived as research in motion, which is largely built upon assumptions rather than seated in principles. She collaborates with eclectic worlds, from craftsmanship to electronic music, the textile industry to fair trade. Her achievements have also led her to unexpected experimentation in scenography and furniture, graphics and interior design.

Lucien de Gurbert
is an independent ilustrator. In 2015 he joined the comic book publishing house Radio as Paper where he participated in the production of both collective and personal works. Feeling very concerned by the evolution of society, customs, and social settings, his work tends to build a singular vision of our world that is constantly torn between wealth and atrocity. The influence of traditional Japanese image construction, especially the “god vantage point” through axonometry, which is inhuman in essence, has led him to develop a perspective of human phenomena that is at once extremely detached but infinitely precise. Author of research on defensive installations and hostile furniture in today’s western urban spaces, his pictorial work often questions the ever–present traces of malice that our increasingly globalized society produces in its cities.

is a projet that aims at discovering and sharing practices in the fields of design and architecture in Europe. Johan Soubise and Maïlys Gangloff created this project in 2015 and travel around differetn countries to question professionnals in their own offices. The aime is not to talk about the final projet but of the whole creation process. Both space designers, they have known each other during their studies in Lyon and navigate between the fields of architecture and design. Their interest in small scale allows them to explore cross–sectional approaches and the porosity that exists between these design trades. Convinced Europhiles, they measure what Europe has brought to their generation for 25 years, as much as the distrust it faces today.

Baptiste Meyniel
is graduated from the ENSCI–Les Ateliers, a branch of the École normale supérieure de Cachan. For his end–of–studies project, under the supervision of Pierre Charpin, he developed an empirical process by successively questioning the dynamic setting in motion of our gaze, the formatting implemented by tools, what materials imply on their designs, and what we project on to material. From this process, and in relation to movement and gesture, three propositions emerged: tools for design, free forms, and lamps. Today, he continues his research within the SACRe doctoral program at EnsadLab, articulating his reflection around the prolific, unique practice of the architect Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007).

Peaks views each project as an open question about the practice of architecture, manipulating the conditions of its production, its formal vocabulary, its programming and its subject matter.

is an architect. Interested in surrealism, deconstructionism and dada movement, she develops a written and surreal, spatial and philosophic approach. Curious about experimentation, she nourishes her work with explorations, layers, collages, and wishes to question the limits of the intelligible and the thought. The questions of form, composition, rhythm and balance are regulated by the game: the interaction becomes a project.

Ruohong Wu
is working as artist, architect and publisher. She is originally educated as architect at Architectural Association London. Since 2012 she starts to practice parallelly as artist. Her current artistic work often deals with the topic called “cultural gap”, which focuses on the sudden jump from sophisticated classic craftsmanship into mass-produced duplicates so-called “made in China”. She attempts to provide another aspect to treat the relationship between industrial and craft methods, not as contradictions, but possibilities to transfer cultural conflict into new aesthetic values. Her major work is in the form of porcelain and textile. Her work has been exhibited internationally such as Somerset House London(2018), Milan design week (2015–2017), Antwerp art weekends (2016–2017), Madrid city hall(2016–2017), JustMad art fair Madrid (2015), and widely published in New York Times, El Croquis (CN edition), Milk, Cover magazine. Etc She has been teaching and lecturing at Architectural Association School London, Shanghai JiaoTong University, China Academy of Art, Universidad Europea de Madrid and IED Istituto Europeo di Design Madrid.
