| summary |
In a society where all productions tend to insidiously become uniform, ignoring any cultural particularism, historical or social, the philosophy of Studio Odile Decq (the Studio) has always been to be specific and particular. By questioning the command, the use, the matter, the body, the technique, and the taste, the invented architecture offers a paradoxical look, at the same time tender and severe, on our world. In a creative and positive work process, the obstacles are always transformed into advantages, all while developing a specific image for each project with the most advanced contemporary technologies. On the occasion of the realization of numerous architectural projects, the Studio has also often developed the interior fittings and the furniture, in a continuity of thought and in relation with needs, each time different and specific. The Studio’s work is a complete universe, in which architecture, design, art and urbanism come together, challenge each other, and respond to each other. The direct style of Odile Decq is matched by her architecture, with bold geometries and innovative creations. In the same continuity, the Studio interfaces with industrial companies, in fields as daiverse as lighting, acoustics, glazing, and furniture design, responding each time to special technical requirements. The conceptual process, centered around experimentation, is closely followed by Odile Decq herself. Thus, the design includes, from the start all the parameters to succeed, in an initially iterative approach, to arrive at a perfectly integrated project. |
