Clement Blanchet is invited to lecture and debate about Artificial Intelligence and its impacts in architecture at the IPAU 2024 in Kosovo, Prishtina.

“Artificial Intelligence and the praise of slowness ” Clément Blanchet, November 7th 2024 12h00pm, Save the date!

“Artificial intelligence should target and coordinate data in order to reach a new intensification. This intensification is called human intelligence, I would call it augmented intelligence.
Architects are the doctors of the soul.
Architects are curators of the human experience.”

As well as run buy the collective book "Le boulevard périphérique: Quel Avenir?" by / Archicity Editor

An essay by Clement Blanchet
Le Boulevard périphérique : du cadavre exquis à la modernité.

"The vital impetus inspired by the Situationists, who envisioned a city that is lived in and travelled through, can be used to reinvent the Périphérique. The projectual framework that needs to be submitted to it must be visionary and give everyone the desire to love modernity once again. This modernity must manifest itself in a new presence. To rethink the Paris ring road, it is not enough to empty it of traffic and replace it with surface vegetation, which is illusory in its effectiveness in helping the city to become sustainable in the future. The project that needs to be invented must be thought through in architectural terms: it is the very infrastructure that needs to be transformed and recreated to make the Boulevard the centerpiece of 21st century Paris."

What a thrill! July 6th 2024!

Well done to the whole team.

540 metres long, 44 metres wide, 5860 tonnes, or 75% of the weight of the Eiffel Tower:

A great social, happy, capable, and urban carpet.

It was a source of pride last night to see this bridge being opened up to new horizons and new uses.

 “The design is kept to the simplest expression, the least technical, the least lyrical, in fact an almost primitive structural solution. The bridge is conceived not to be an event in the city but actually a place to promote the events in the city. From an overdose of formal gesticulation, I wanted to propose a robust “plateau” that would last and contribute to unify the right and left river banks. ” Clement Blanchet

Clement Blanchet took part in the Printemps des Territoires event on 30 May 2024 as a keynote speaker.

2024 is a special year, as we will celebrate our 10 years existence!

Thanks to all collaborators, partners, colleagues, and friends for this very fruitful journey!

As we ring in this new year, we’d like to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2024. Thank you for being a part of Clément Blanchet Architecture [cba] galaxy.

A new decade is starting with many ongoing projects! The best is yet to come!!

Following the jury's deliberations on 19 December 2023, the project by Clément Blanchet Architecture , with Mathieu Baty, Michel Desvigne paysage, Opérel, Edeis and ADIM, has been selected for the conversion of Clairvaux Abbey.

"The modernity of the site will be a revelation, and the architectural action will be a reaction" Clément Blanchet

These are the rewards for 18 months of intense work to write a new chapter in the history of Clairvaux. We are honored by the trust placed in us by the state and the region. This operation is one of the largest Historic Monument projects in Europe, with a surface area of 32 hectares, 36 listed or registered buildings and 40,000 m2 of usable space, to promote the development of projects to enhance the value of this thousand-year-old site, worthy of its international reputation, allowing the site to be rediscovered by the general public and the installation of new activities contributing to the influence of the site and the attractiveness of the region.

Merci à l’Etat, au Ministère de la culture, à la Direction de l’Immobilier de l’Etat (DIE), à la préfecture du bas Rhin, le département de l’Aube, Edeis, Adim, et toute l’équipe de Maitrise d’Oeuvre.

An interesting discussion!

Exploring new imbricated typologies, while reinterpreting the “Bourguignon’s roofs”...

Combining several programs : student housings with its collective terraces, and in its base a campus related to sport and health with “WeForm” program. The project is built of mixed structures in low carbon concrete and wood.

Thanks to all the team CBA, Oceanis, Partim

Following a competitive dialogue that began in July 2022, we have won the competition to design and coordinate future developments around the Toulouse Exhibition Centre [MEETT], the link with the #Garossos business park, the Andromède mixed development zone and the landscape around the #Garonne.

Twelve years after designing and developing the PEX project as an associate and director of OMA France, it's a pleasure to be able to work again in this fast-changing area.

Clément Blanchet Architecture is hiring !

French – speaking junior business developer / researcher in Paris, France.

The main challenge of the project is to create an innovative teaching space, one that encourages and generates interaction as a means of learning and development.

The existing building is transformed into an open space that houses the refectory and exhibition hall, allowing students to interact with each other and the public with their work.

The project involves a number of actions:

• freeing up the ground so that the city can invite itself in and make the existing building visible

• creating a high reference level to enhance the view and draw inspiration from the wider area

• embrace and interweave the existing building to create a respectful modernity increase the number of creative spaces for the school: high terrace, passageways, creative interstices, etc.

Thanks to all the team !
