Ivry I and II explore the visionary architecture of Ivry-sur-Seine, designed in the 1960s and 1970s by Jean Renaudie and Renée Gailhoustet. In contrast to post-war models, their constructions, with complex geometries, cascading terraces, and green rooftops, aimed to foster a new quality of life and a strong sense of community.

Inspired by this approach, the projects present abstract compositions of Ivry’s architecture in the form of collages. Various materials—printed pixels, paper, cardboard, polyester, black wooden lines, and mirrors—blend together to create visual and tactile works. With the Pixel project, Ivry's architecture is reinterpreted as a minimalist digital landscape, inviting viewers to rediscover the city as a dialogue between nature, concrete, and collective memory.
