How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I try to turn the constraint of the quarantine into positive and creative energy, use my architect eyes to look at details. To find beauty and inspiration in details and simple things around me. While I’m fortunate to be in a privileged place where I can breathe and create, I think of the people stuck in small interiors. I become a craftsman, influenced by the french "Compagnons" (French organization of craftsmen and artisans dating from the Middle Ages). I restore, repaint, fix, spread colors on walls and furnitures to cheer up the everyday life.

DREAMS: It’s a common dream. That people could have access to a high-quality environment with open and green areas. This is one of our major goal in our architecture Firm. I would also love that everyone could become the maker of its home, could play a part in a simple and economic conception of its home, be in the reuse more than in the consumerism. More personally, to be reunited with the one I love.

NIGHTMARES: I have no nightmares, I’d rather be positive. The only danger in those trouble times could be a withdraw into oneself, the fear of the other.
