Season 6 projects in English

Seven years of existence for the podcast, week after week, every appointment honored and five full seasons of broadcasts!
Out of respect for the work accomplished and all the architects' words memorized, “consigned”, all the focus projects, our intention was to launch season 6 in a realistic, resolutely constructive and inspiring way!

So, enjoy this S6 #2, dedicated to the projects of a humble, still-young and much-awarded French office. 
In this issue, after introducing Atelier Georges*, Aurélien Delchet, one of its associates, explains the stakes involved in two of their emblematic projects: their involvement in sector E of the Village des Athlètes in Saint-Ouen and the rehabilitation of the Mellinet barracks in Nantes. Two pieces of work to be carried out under extraordinary conditions. 
Far from the starification of the profession, a resolutely forward-looking issue to open this new season!

*Atelier Georges, based in Montreuil and Nantes, is run by five partners:
Thibault Barbier, Aline Cauchy, Aurélien Delchet, Mathieu Delorme, Yvan Okotnikoff

S6#6 🇺🇸🇬🇧 "Georges Festival Georges" Maison de l'Architecture et des espaces en Bretagne, France

One is a historic site, Calvi. The other is a recent mixed-use office district: La Courrouze in Rennes. The former needs to evict abandoned parts of the city, while the latter needs to welcome new residents and open up to residential use. In both cases, the architect has to deal with the scale of the territory and its realities, armed with his ability to project, to create architecture! Both projects were designed by Line Up architecture. One is a competition project, the other is rooted in reality...

S6#8 🇺🇸🇬🇧 "Two projects, Calvi & Courrouze and two stories of alchemy"

A new SPOT format from Com d'Archi, dedicated to heritage, with a focus on the Ile-de-France naves rehabilitated by the Chatillon architects agency for the 2024 Olympic Games: those of the Grand-Palais in Paris and the Ile des Vannes in Saint-Ouen. I've long been an admirer of this agency, for which I did some historical research. So I know it at least from the inside. It always rehabilitates with extraordinary intelligence, with no fracture between past, present and future. While clichés still separate heritage from modernity, let's take a look at these fabulous naves!
