Tectoniques réunit architectes et ingénieurs autour d’une pratique collaborative du projet. Chaque discipline est mobilisée comme un outil conceptuel et critique. Nous intervenons sur tous types de programmes et d’échelles, en construction neuve comme sur le patrimoine existant, selon une approche pragmatique nourrie par les contraintes du réel. Chaque projet est conçu dans une démarche logique et rationnelle, ce qui permet de le partager avec l’ensemble des parties prenantes. L’expérience du projet nous conduit à aborder les enjeux environnementaux en développant des solutions adaptées à chaque situation, fondées sur une économie de moyens et une hybridation raisonnée des systèmes. Nous cherchons à soulager la complexité par des formes simples et intelligibles, des constructions efficaces et évolutives, au service de la qualité des espaces et de la liberté d’usage.
