Welcome,
This site is my personal homepage. You'll find here my own architecture projects, drawings I made for other architects, and an ever growing open source section containing tutorials and other projects I participate. For the most adventurous reader, there is also a personnal section containing, well, all kind of stuff...

So feel free to browse around, have fun, and if you liked (or not), or if you have any question I might be able to respond, don't hesitate to leave me a message on the guestblog, or via the form at the bottom of this page.

Vila Mariana Roof added on 30.12.2006
A small project for a roof cover in a factory in São Paulo, made with Amá arquitetos. It is very simple and zen. It is being built now, so I hope to put pictures of the built thing soon.

Another competition project made with Maíra and Thomas in 2003 for a community centre in Kapolei, Hawaii, USA. This one focused around integration between human being and environment. Almost everything in it is exterior.
Moscow Moscow City Hall added on 23.04.2005
A competition project for the new city hall of Moscow, Russia, made in 2002 with Thomas. A quick four dimensions frame development exercise. The project constructs itself on a grid that grows in all directions, spreading out of its bath and swallowing the connected structures.

A competition project for a housing complex in Aomori, Japan. Made in 2001 with Maíra. It deals with difference of scales in surrounding urban environment and heavy population density in compact area. It also suggests different daylife routine and social interaction.

architecture in 0blender Introduction to architecture modelling in Blender added on 13.07.2007
This is a step-by-step tutorial about quick architecture modelling and rendering in Blender. No precision modelling here (yet), but rather methods and tools to use to obtain quickly a good result.
Blender greenhouse Blender greenhouse added on 17.07.2007
This is a repository of (hopefully) realistic plants and trees made with ngPlant and Blender, for use in your 3D scenes as 3D models or as alpha textures for billboard-style vegetation. I'll add plants there as I need them... There is also a page containing freely downloadable textures.
Treemaking tutorial added on 14.02.2008
This tutorial will teach you how to model realistic-looking trees with a suite of software composed of ngPlant, Inkscape, Gimp and Blender. Typically, this is the method I used to create the trees you can find on the greenhouse.
Renderers comparison added on 24.03.2008
This is a quick comparison of what I could get from several free external renderers availables for blender. This is by no means an extensive comparison chart, rather a quick and, I hope, interesting test of what a new user can expect to achieve quickly.
Modelling architecture with precision in blender added on 13.04.2008
This tutorial is a sequel to the Introduction to architecture modelling. It shows how to build high-precision architecture models in blender, that you can use for generating 2d drawings.

A couple of graphic novels - or fragments of graphic novels - that I've been making over time. There is the hell on earth, made in 1998 in Brugge, Le voyage imaginaire that I made next year in Cape Town, and an aborted one I began with Grégoire but that never went further.
