Could the cities of tomorrow thrive by reimagining the structures of today?
Vinciane Albrecht talks about the mass timber buildings designed by her partner Anne Carcelen in France, showcasing their approach to sustainability and design. Together, they’ve developed concepts like hybrid city and inter-building - a three-step method to preserve existing structures, build smarter, and bridge the past with the future.
OulipO, a transatlantic architecture studio, is reshaping how we approach sustainable building. Rooted in the belief that “constraint is ground for inspiration,” OulipO brings new life into existing structures, leveraging innovations like prefabrication and the lightweight benefits of mass timber to create resilient, forward-thinking designs.
Discover why timber is a game-changer for fire safety, energy efficiency, and mental well-being, and how local resources can shape stunning, low-impact designs.
