Les Planches Installation Building Element / Marina Poli + Philippe Paumelle

One of the keys to this process is the use of a single building element: a single plank of wood, with the same thickness and width, and a maximum length of 300 cm. Following this principle, each plank becomes a part of a whole, but with a precision adapted to the needs. The plank functions as a post, beam, frieze, or seat. This conscious choice of a single section promotes construction efficiency and an economical approach. It offers a functional aesthetic, where horizontality and verticality intersect.
