Lauriane Mollet-Rastello

Lauriane is a certified architect who graduated from ENSA Marseille in 2024 with honors in research. After completing a preparatory year in literature and history, she studied in Rome and Marseille, focusing her projects and research on territory, the multiplicity of narratives, and monumental and everyday heritage.

After earning her bachelor's degree at ENSA Marseille, she studied restoration and conservation for a year at Sapienza University in Rome, focusing on how these practices are incorporated into the design process, particularly through surveying and drawing. This education continued and deepened upon her return to Marseille for her second year of master's studies, taking as her subjects of study a rural commune in Provence (Fontvieille) and a mid-mountain commune (Curbans) in their territorial context. The project, still linked to a specific intervention, was enriched by a more abstract dimension, a narrative and an imaginary, an approach she wished to develop during post-graduate research, in line with her previous work.

For the past four years, she has been able to conduct parallel research that, constantly linked to the project, has enabled her to question the process of architectural creation, particularly through writing, literature, images, and project thinking.

Her latest research work is entitled La pensée en archipel, une pensée projectuelle et littéraire du fragment et de la relation (Archipelago thinking: a project-based and literary approach to fragments and relationships) and was carried out between 2024 and 2025 as part of the “Mention recherche” (research qualification). This work questions the origins of project-based thinking through the fragmentation of reality, visual imagination, and a connection with the literary approach (reading and writing). It was presented at the Journées de la recherche organized by the OCS laboratory in April 2025.

Lauriane Mollet-Rastello currently works at the OCS laboratory as a research assistant. She has worked on the book project resulting from the CIAM symposium under the direction of Eric Alonzo and Federico Diodato, as well as on the publication of the forthcoming issue 6 of the journal Marnes under the direction of Eric Alonzo and Sébastien Marot. At the same time, she is working with Isaline Maire on the readability and dissemination of the OCS's activities.
