Act I: The stone
The meeting with Mr. Pépin focuses on the act of transforming matter into a building material and its links with extraction and implementation. In the age of digital cutting, we question the capacity of stone to carry a sensitive dimension of architecture. This is a presentation of the sector, introducing an explanation of the processes and systems of actors from the genesis of the manufacturing process to the architectural design.
Interviews designed and conducted byENSA Normandie AECC students, supported by the "Renewable Natural Resources, Climate & Architecture" chair Ecosystems, climates, and bio-/geo-resources as vectors of architectural and constructional transformation and innovation.
The Architecture, Environment and Constructive Culture study program and its students are launching a series of interviews focusing on the actions and gestures that extract, transform, and implement matter so that it becomes architectural material from the very beginning of a project.
