A manifesto project for PCA-STREAM, developed collectively with Covivio and Hines, Stream Building’s innovations reflect 15 years of research by the agency’s laboratory into the challenges of tomorrow’s city. Mixed in its uses and its wood-concrete construction, the project draws on the qualities of wood to limit its carbon footprint. Its modular, reversible framework makes it possible to change the building’s use without major structural intervention, making it a prototype of resilient architecture. Designed using a circular approach, Stream Building reuses resources produced in situ, while concentrating all the activities of dense urban life. For a meaningful, not just physical, presence in the city.

Between dystopian imaginaries and the reinvention of practices, what is AI doing to architecture? “Artificial intelligence is infiltrating architects”: it was after organizing a series of “AI and Creation” conferences at the Stream Innovation Center at the agency and integrating/questioning AIs in all our professions that we discussed the subject with Regnier Isabelle for Le Monde. Philippe Chiambaretta, Etienne Riot, Léone-Alix Mazaud, Laélia Vaulot, Adrien Pointeau, Hugo Reichmann, Pauline Detavernier, Jasmine Léonardon: from architectural and urban research to 3D visualization, each field of expertise raises crucial questions for understanding the relationship between technology and creation. A must-read!
