Stitching Place: Lights and Fields
Project description
Stitching Place reimagines two rural French sites through light-touch interventions that weave together fabric, field, and community. In Chimilin, an old school becomes a civic threshold; in Villefontaine, a lifted campus gathers around an open lawn. Both projects stitch light, land, and learning into regenerative, place-specific architecture.
