NAS Architecture -Hadrien BALALUD DE ST JEAN & Guillaume GIRAUD & Johan LAURE
Montpellier // France
NAS Architecture est fondée en 2013. Fort de leurs expériences personnelles, l’agence est la suite logique d’une suite de nombreuses collaborations entamées depuis quelques années, avec entre autre, plusieurs participations à des concours nationaux et internationaux. Ainsi, NAS s’applique aujourd’hui à se développer dans la même dynamique, en travaillant sur une multitude de projets sans distinction d’échelle ou de lieu, dessinant avec la même implication des pavillons d’installation et des projets urbains. Chaque projet devient alors l’occasion d’appliquer une posture au lieu, à une société, afin d’ouvrir un discours avec les différents acteurs du projet. La dynamique des projets se fonde alors sur une envie de développer les qualités et les usages d’un lieu tout en utilisant les contraintes à leurs avantages. Le travail de l’agence se veut donc contextuel et utilise le paysage, les usages et les spécificités techniques de la région comme éléments de références à mettre en résonnance au sein d’un programme donné. NAS prône la conception de lieux de vie en adéquation avec les attentes contemporaines de sociétés en perpétuelles évolutions.

La paroi principale de «Breath Box» est réfléchissante, dirigée vers l’horizon. Elle ne fait pas que retranscrire l’image de la mer, elle la transforme par ses propres attributs. Le vent vient soulever les nombreux modules réfléchissants, apportant une dualité d’expérience visuelle entre reflet et ondulation. « Breath Box » permet de distinguer, de voir le passage du vent, non plus uniquement le ressentir mais l’appréhender physiquement. Le miroir ainsi recomposé se déforme sous l’effet du vent, faisant interagir entre eux les éléments naturels et les sens. La sensualité décrite ici est à prendre au niveau de l’accomplissement visuel. Le plaisir de suivre le passage du vent fluctuant, palpitant, et créant une mosaïque de ville paysage, couleur grande-motte. « Breath Box » offre donc une expérience immédiate et changeante. On n’échappe pas, en déambulant en front de mer, à l’attrait de ces facettes mouvantes qui offrent une multitude de tableaux différents.
The main wall of "Breath Box" is reflective, facing the horizon. It does not only recreate the image of the sea, it transforms by its own attributes. The wind comes lift the many reflective modules, providing a duality between visual experience and reflection ripple. "Breath Box" allows to distinguish, to see the wind passage, not only feel but apprehend physically. The recomposed mirror is deformed under the influence of wind, making them interact with the natural elements and the senses. The sensuality described here is to be taken at the level of visual accomplishment. The pleasure of following the passage of fluctuating, pulsating wind, creating a mosaic of city landscape, grande-motte color. "Breath Box" therefore provides immediate and changing experience. You can not escape, as you wander seafront to the attraction of these changing facets that offer a variety of different pictures.
