Félicien Pecquet-Caumeil

Félicien Pecquet-Caumeil is an architect and urban planner, with degrees from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Clermont-Ferrand (DEA) and the École d'architecture de la ville et des territoires Paris-Est (DSA d'architecte-urbaniste and HMONP). At the same time, he has developed an interest in audio-visual and scenographic artistic media, which he feels are relevant tools for designers.

After gaining multidisciplinary experience at Atelier Georges, he co-founded meat architectures & territoires with seven other partners. Winners of Europan 14 (2017), they will be joining the Echelle 1 incubator in 2021. From architectural project management to territorial strategy, meat is committed to transforming living situations in a variety of contexts (Massif Central, Normandy, Grand-Est, Overseas, Spain, Mexico, Croatia). Opération Habitat Renouvelés en Outre-Mer follows on from the study they carried out on the commune of Le Prêcheur in Martinique, when they were training for their DSA in architecture and urban planning in 2016. From a question of adapting to the receding coastline, the aim is to experiment with new forms of living, adapted to the tropical environment.

He is working on a thesis under the supervision of Sébastien Marot, which aims to articulate theoretical questions based on practical cases. Insularity, spatial recomposition, bioclimatic housing, Caribbean and metropolitan interdependencies, creolity, local resources, building cultures: through the different scales of project processes, the aim is to question climate change as a vector for the renewal of local cultures. Between operational reality and theoretical prospecting, this research is part of the partnership teaching and research chair "the coast as a project territory", within the OCS-AUSser laboratory.
