Plâtrant pour la première fois, nous avons décidé de travailler tous ensemble pour être plus efficace. Nous avons formé organiquement trois groupes pour chacun des processus requis: préparation du plâtre et mélange de la matière, écoulement et homogénéisation de la forme.

Being minimally curved, the Pantheon's floor forms the subject of our first architectural project. From some mere measurements given on a plan, we had to sketch out a fragmented wooden model. To support us in visualizing the final result, a variety of technical drawings was essential. In addition to the external structure, one pair of diagonals crosses each other in the center, connecting four of the corners and strengthening the construction.

a graphic structure, a touch of Nature, a fragrance of cut wood, a silent thinking, a taste of experience

Any final project isn't it far more rewarding when accomplished by collaborating and assisting each other?
