[CONSTRUCTION] 🦺🌱 One of our projects in Paris is reaching completion! We can’t wait to share more about the ways we transformed an overheating roof into an outdoor green space
Transformer les toits de Paris pour rafraîchir la ville ?
Derrière cette idée ingénieuse, on retrouve trois architectes. Ensemble, ils ont fondé @roofscapes.studio : une start-up qui repense l’usage des toitures face aux îlots de chaleur urbains.
Leur innovation a pu voir le jour grâce au soutien de l’Union européenne, qui, à travers son budget à long terme, finance des projets concrets pour la transition écologique et le développement durable des villes.
Et vous, dans quels domaines aimeriez-vous voir l’Europe investir davantage ?
En collaboration commerciale avec le @parlementeuropeen
[DATA] While roofs make up more than ⅓ of Paris’ surface, there aren’t any solutions to adapt them to climate change or make them accessible to humans and non humans alike. At Roofscapes, we decided that is a big enough problem worth fighting for! 🌱
Another day at the office 💨 This Image from a recent drone survey showcases the immense complexity and intricacy of existing buildings. It is a good reminder that to adapt cities to climate change (fast enough and at scale), we must develop replicable strategies with built-in tolerance —so that they can be implemented across vastly different geometric contexts.
And, actually, that’s exactly what we’re doing! 🌱

🧩 [6/6] …and we end our 2025 recap with some climate adaptation prototypes on which we are currently working on, as well as a sneak peek at a new image developed with @mosaika.cc (which we will present in more detail soon)! Looking forward to sharing everything about what 2026 is already bringing 🌱
[4/6] 🧩 In this portion of our 2025 recap we are sharing images of current construction sites, as well as a few publications in which our work was presented, like @nytimes and @merciraymond “Quartier du futur”. Let’s tune in next week for the next piece!
[3/6] 🧩 Let’s continue our 2025 recap with images from the @mitdesignx Impact Entrepreneurship workshops we’ve co-instructed this year, as well as fragments from the opening of our Venice Biennale Exhibition ☺️ let’s tune in next Thursday for the next piece!
[2/6] 🧩 Let’s continue our 2025 recap by more of our model for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, and some images from workshops we taught at École Spéciale d’Architecture (@ecole_speciale ) ☺️ let’s tune in next Monday for the next piece!
[1/6] 🧩 Like at the end of every year, we are sharing the highlights of the last 12 months in the form of a collage, gathering the most important pieces of our journey. Let’s start here with the model for our exhibition for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale ☺️ let’s tune in on Wednesday for the next piece!
