The architectural projects I will present you stand out, among others, from my bachelor's degree at the National School of Architecture of Nantes. Living in Europe allowed me to discover different influences, cultures and architectural approaches that inspire me during my conceptual steps. It was also an opportunity to create new friendships and to travel in this vast territory rich in history and innovation. My goals and understanding of the role I play in society have evolved significantly since I started studying architecture in 2011. They reflect educational and professional backgrounds in learning, travel and implications. Many thoughts and positions led me to define myself as a future architect involved in the profession. Today, I am at the end of the Master's degree at the School of Architecture at Laval University. I also make the internship, ready to soon take another important step in my career: the practice. Of course, my previous experiences have already led me to work in offices and on construction sites, but I am now more prepared to face the reality. My head is full of memories, ideas and references that will allow me to realize bold, thoughtful, inspiring projects adapted to the specificity of each place that I will meet.

Cégep Lévis-Lauzon, Lévis, QC, CA, Technologie de l'architecture
The role of architectural technologists is to concretize the elements of the "abstract" phase to prepare the "concrete" phase (renovation or construction). In other words, they look for information, drawings, plans and specifications, estimates of costs, materials and labor, specifications, and so on. Then, the technologists will be able to monitor the construction site and ensure that the standards and specifications are respected.
