About Me

Democratize access to architectural culture and critic.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young architect focusing on the political and cultural aspects of architecture and urbanism. I'm currently living in the countryside after gathering experience in various metropolis of Europe and Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be selfish !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use to welcome friends of friends of friends ... who knows that i'm always happy to host someone. Couchsurfing it's just a way to open my door to even more people

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've welcome few people in Paris and Hong Kong and had been welcomed in few places. I was in Iceland recently.

I also do couch surfing within France during my explorations of rural territories. There is no boundaries in between my work and my social life since I define myself as an "architecte-mediateur" and consider sharing my knowledge about architecture and gathering the point of view of citizens about the place they live as an enjoyable part of my job :)
