Architecture is a collaborative system
Patrick Bouchain is a committed architect and scenographer, for whom architecture must respond to concern for the general interest. He is the founder of the Construire agency. He integrates research and collaboration into his architectural approach, working in particular with contemporary artists. We questioned him in the documentary “PCA-STREAM: from research to action”. Here he shares his vision of the role of the architect, of the importance of research in understanding the framework in which he operates. In particular, he deals with the question of the commission model, from the way of receiving it to the construction of the project.
