Summary: When we discovered the immense sky and the plateau devoid of physical constraints, we sought, by a simple form and an abstract writing, to capture the landscape. The vibrating proximity of the edge of the woods revealed an intuition related to the material: it was necessary, in this country site, to touch the ground gently. To that end, we chose to design the project as a steel exoskeleton.
