TRANS305
2010 — Paris, FR
Temporary Architecture — Cultural Platform
TRANS305 was a temporary cultural platform established on a major construction site on the periphery of Paris. Developed in collaboration with Raumlabor and artist Stefan Shankland, the project transformed an active building site into a workshop, exhibition, and public engagement space.
Acting as construction manager, we contributed to the realisation of a flexible and evolving structure that could host a wide range of activities. The architecture was conceived as an open system, combining reclaimed and industrial components to create a robust yet adaptable environment for cultural production within a transitional urban landscape.
