Its dioptre façade is designed to reflect natural light up to R-2. Its landscaped terrace uses permaculture techniques on a hydrobiological membrane that will eventually host an autonomous ecosystem. Photovoltaic glass integrated on the southwestern slope illuminates the building at night. The restaurant, open to both employees and the public, reconnects the building to its neighborhood and allows for multiple uses.

Confronted with ecological challenges, designers are exploring new materials capable of replacing plastic. Options include biodegradable, renewable, biobased, and self-growing materials.

The Stream Building wins the 2021 BIM d'Argent in the "new buildings between 5,000 and 30,000 m²" category! Winner of "Réinventer Paris 1" launched by the City of Paris in 2015, the Stream Building is the manifesto project of PCA-STREAM. It is a metabolic and recyclable building based on several years of research conducted by the agency's laboratory.

The construction sector accounts for one third of France’s CO₂ emissions. This environmental footprint can be reduced by using wood, but wood only stores carbon temporarily. The challenge of sustainable construction therefore lies in a comprehensive approach that includes forest management and the durability of buildings. No ‘woodwashing’ here, but some thoughts on mixed construction!

In order to help us move beyond the Anthropocene, Tomás Saraceno, an Argentinian artist imagines a new era, the Aerocene. By mobilizing science-based tools, he proposes turning away from extractive and predatory behaviors in order to try and change our habits rather than the climate. With his recent work Aerocene Pasha, he achieved the most sustainable flight in history and revealed concrete alternative actions.

Designed like a membrane, the façade with variable typologies of the future double tower The Link was conceived to filter light while protecting users from the heat outside. A precise balance between protective shell and light reflection, in line with the fluctuations of the environment.
