Until April 27 - An exhibition by the Maison de l'architecture de Normandie - Le Forum, designed by OLGGA Architectes
Driven by a shared passion for design, Guillaume GRENU and Nicolas LE MEUR, former students atENSA Normandie, champion honest, sincere, and responsible architecture at OLGGA.
For OLGGA, building means first and foremost confronting a territory, interacting with a site and embracing an existing topography. Their projects offer radical responses, materialized by frank and assertive volumetrics. For them, it's all about creating with meaning, far from any fad or over-identified trend. OLGGA's approach to design is to put a strong idea to work in a particular place, and to see it as an ongoing commitment. Each project is an opportunity for a profound rethink, to open up the field of possibilities and, above all, to be as accurate as possible.
OLGGA sees architecture as an open discipline, always on the lookout for a variety of partners to broaden the scope of its responses. Resolutely optimistic, OLGGA pursues an experimental approach fuelled by unfailing motivation and the desire to achieve one of their primary objectives: "To re-establish architecture where it has been neglected, and to make it accessible to as many people as possible".
The agency's work was recognized in 2010 by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication: OLGGA won the "Albums des jeunes architectes et paysagistes" (AJAP).
