Christophe Guignard will present, through a series of projects of architecture, the experiments led by fabric | ch on contemporary space: material-non material, visible-invisible, inhabitable-uninhabitable,localised-distributed, unique-ubique.
Considering information as simple and elementary architecture data, fabric | ch conceives new architectural proposals which include electromagnetic territories, microarchitecture, data environments, architectural emissions, spaces of substitution, s(t)imluated spaces, distributed environments, downloadable architectures, multiplied spatialities…
These projects question the relationship we maintain with our habitat, our workspace, our livable environment: the physical limits of space are blurred and architecture is formed by electromagnetic points of emissions, data streams, augmentation/reduction of information. These projects invite us to evolve in a “real” architecture which combines physical and digital spaces, “hard” and “soft” spaces.
Christophe Guignard fabric | ch
Christophe Guignard (1969) is one of the founding members of fabric | ch, an architecture studio based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Since 1997, fabric | ch has been working on material and non-material architecture projects that have to do with physical and electronic spaces. These works have been exhibited in Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Belgium and the USA.
Christophe Guignard studied architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), as well as in Montreal and New York. He completed his education with a series of philosophy seminars before obtaining a master’s degree in computer graphics in the electronic media research laboratories at the EPFL. Christophe Guignard has also been a lecturer at the University of Art and Design of Lausanne (ECAL) since 2000. The pattern of his work sums up the approach adopted by fabric | ch: multi-disciplinary, experimental, rhizomatic.
