Géométral is an architectural agency, established in 2022 and based in Paris. Its disciplinary foundation rests upon architecture, research, and education.

Foundation
From traversed landscapes, encounters with people, places seen and experienced, or stories recounted, the accumulated ideas have formed a material with which to work and share. Coupled with years of rich and diverse professional experiences, these imaginaries have given rise to realities and projects that extend their spheres of influence within the realms of architecture and space.

Universe
The projects undertaken by Géométral offer a unique universe each time. A multitude of different ambiences and atmospheres for the inhabitant, visitor, observer, or curious soul. This is the cornerstone of our architectural agency—to primarily conceive a universe with which to engage, thereby creating, in every situation, a grounded and living architecture.

Scale
The city served as a foundational subject of study. I enjoyed approaching real or imagined cities as living entities, reflections or embodiments of our condition. One of them became the protagonist of a graphic narrative in 2015, titled "The Vanity of a Sponge." Subsequently, I endeavored to translate the vagaries of financial realms in New York into architecture in 2016; this marked my architectural thesis, titled ☞"Financial Deliriums, or How Capitalists Fell in Love with Architecture." Today, Géométral advocates for a plurality of programs and scales, from the individual and intimate, to those of the crowd and the vast territory.

Narration
Initially, I had no projects to discuss, so I decided to create them. A constellation of ideas, spaces, and constructions, albeit fictional, always placed on real sites, with the intention of sketching a path for this agency and building a foundation to anchor its future. Today, this strategy is a vector for constructive and tangible opportunities. The approaches and methods remain consistent, the sites are always real, and the clients have emerged.

Context
Without a site, there is no architecture. This forms the basis of the architectural education I provide. Developing a sensitivity to the intervention site, from which to conceive and develop each project. This means that every project is rooted in the land first, then in the reality of the terrain, with a predominant context and the requirement to be built for a specific situation and nowhere else.

Ambition
There is no small project. Géométral advocates for architecture imbued with narration to communicate with the widest audience, to include everyone. Architecture solely for architects is a dead end. Each project should embrace spatial, structural, technical, ecological, material, financial, and programmatic dimensions, as well as a poetic and sensitive character. It is this character that undoubtedly tells, conveys, and shares our convictions most effectively. Because this poetry can readily adapt to the budget and open up possibilities, we  identify with a narrative and sensitive architecture.
