What we are currently calling AI has, in fact, very little to do with intelligence, although it does indeed make use of tremendous memory capabilities and computing power. The leading figure of French robotics, Bruno Maisonnier, is engaged in the challenge of developing an AI operating like a brain, using very little energy and data, while also being capable of justifying decisions. Would this be an AI with self-learning capabilities?

Meet us on Thursday, December 2nd from 7pm onwards at the Librairie Volume at 47 rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth to discover the latest issue of the book-magazine STREAM: Nouvelles intelligences, in the presence of the authors, the editorial team and Philippe Chiambaretta: see you there!

Bringing together thinkers, researchers and contemporary artists, STREAM 05 investigates the different forms of intelligence to be considered, implemented and transmitted to overcome the Urbanocene.

Geochemist Jerôme Gaillardet is investigating the Earth’s “critical zone,” the very thin inhabitable layer where the interdependencies between the living and the non-living are at play. In order to understand how this complex system operates, we shouldn’t be splitting the sciences off from one another. For this reason, Jérôme is involved in the innovative approach of creating interdisciplinary observatories.

The Link, Total Energies' future headquarters at La Défense is the subject of an article in Domus. The project renews the traditional office tower by its horizontality, thanks to its design in trays connected by "links".

Frédérique Veith puts into perspective various initiatives that are laying the groundwork for a social and environmentally friendly city. Alongside Carlos Moreno, Philippe Chiambaretta discusses the need to reenchant the Champs-Élysées to make it a place that fosters the well-being of its users.

PCA-STREAM wins the competition for the new Versailles tourist office! A project in collaboration with the landscape designer Nicolas Gilsoul and the artist Xavier Veilhan, to be discovered in the dedicated article of D'A magazine.

The STREAM laboratory and the magazine are featured in an article dedicated to the development of research in French architectural agencies in AMC! The architectural practice, concrete reponse to theoretical explorations, raises issues that also feed the research carried out by the Stream Team, creating a permanent dialogue between the Think and the Build. 

Its dioptre façade is designed to reflect natural light up to R-2. Its landscaped terrace uses permaculture techniques on a hydrobiological membrane that will eventually host an autonomous ecosystem. Photovoltaic glass integrated on the southwestern slope illuminates the building at night. The restaurant, open to both employees and the public, reconnects the building to its neighborhood and allows for multiple uses.

Confronted with ecological challenges, designers are exploring new materials capable of replacing plastic. Options include biodegradable, renewable, biobased, and self-growing materials. Discover three prototypes, through the eyes of Marie-Ange Brayer, curator and head of the Design and Industrial Prospective department at the Mnam-Cci, Centre Pompidou.

This symbolic ceremony marks the start of the construction work in the heart of Lyon's 7th arrondissement. A true agora open to the world and anchored in its territory, the school will welcome emlyon business school students in 2024. The simplicity of its plan, its beating heart open to a garden, and its vast sunny terraces invite a new form of intelligence.

By combining the heritage of the 1960s with the modernity of the 21st century, PCA-STREAM is transforming an office complex into a virtuous double-sided structure in the heart of the Porte Maillot district.

The Stream Building wins the 2021 BIM d'Argent in the "new buildings between 5,000 and 30,000 m²" category! Winner of "Réinventer Paris 1" launched by the City of Paris in 2015, the Stream Building is the manifesto project of PCA-STREAM. It is a metabolic and recyclable building based on several years of research conducted by the agency's laboratory.

The construction sector accounts for one third of France’s CO₂ emissions. This environmental footprint can be reduced by using wood, but wood only stores carbon temporarily. The challenge of sustainable construction therefore lies in a comprehensive approach that includes forest management and the durability of buildings. No ‘woodwashing’ here, but some thoughts on mixed construction!

In order to help us move beyond the Anthropocene, Tomás Saraceno, an Argentinian artist imagines a new era, the Aerocene. By mobilizing science-based tools, he proposes turning away from extractive and predatory behaviors in order to try and change our habits rather than the climate. With his recent work Aerocene Pasha, he achieved the most sustainable flight in history and revealed concrete alternative actions.
