Bobigny Délire

par Maxime Caudrelier et Malaury Pierre, étudiants en M1

Everyone dreams of finding their El Dorado. Their oasis of freshness. A building that breathes, a green building where you can garden with your neighbors in the heart of a city. A place where you don’t just live in your living room, but in a variety of common spaces. Come visit your reality of tomorrow.

CASANOVA

by Alix Godfrin and Angèle Naudin, M2 student

Ordinary, yet strategic: an office building in Ivry-sur-Seine becomes the prototype of a systemic renovation. Replicable and adaptable, it mitigates and adjusts to the climate and its uses.

Waiting for the storm

by Romane Toussaint, M1 student

Where rain accumulates, the habitat becomes soaked. This project proposes rethinking the use of an office building as a true hydraulic machine in order to coexist with water. It offers a model based on ‘working with,’ welcoming water and transforming it into a resource rather than a threat.

From desk to plate, DÈMEN KA KILTIVÉ

by Morgane Lelouey-Rault, M1 student

In Guadeloupe, a vacant commercial building becomes a place that shelters, nourishes, and connects. An architecture that works with water, sun, and life to inhabit the climate before it imposes itself.

    Online application portal opens: October 1, 2026
    Application deadline: November 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.

    “Immediate Departure” is a travel program that enables young architects to gain valuable experience through travel by setting out to discover different ways of thinking about cities and regions and to examine, on the ground, the state of the European landscape in light of contemporary challenges and the environmental, economic, political, cultural, and social transitions underway in Europe.

    The call for applications is organized by the Quartus Endowment Fund for Architecture, in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, the Atelier Parisien d’Urbanisme, the AREP Group, and MAF, and is co-organized with ENSA Paris-Est on behalf of the network of French National Schools of Architecture.
