Abstract
Through different projects of the office, the paper explores which design strategies allow to address structure and architecture as two equally important aspects of one unique ambition in each project. The structural approaches are specific to each project. However, all procede from the a same attitude : structural principles are enounced at some point, that address the structural typology rather than its formal design. By doing so, a high flexibility is induced in the design towards the constraints of the design and construction process.
