This document appears to be a portfolio or resume for an architect named Helene Briglia. It includes summaries and photos of several of her past projects, including: - A peace haven in the DMZ between North and South Korea to allow separated families to reconnect. - Floating housing modules in Dublin built from recycled shipping containers to accommodate rising sea levels. - Ecolodges and a biodiversity center in Benin consisting of floating structures connected by boardwalks and collecting rainwater. - Urban regeneration projects in Romania and Germany that activated underused spaces through new programs and connections. The portfolio showcases Helene Briglia's range of work from architectural competitions to built projects across several countries

DMZ, NORTH & SOUTH KOREA
This project is a peace haven for the separated
families of north and South Korea. Indeed after
World War II and the Korean War, Korea is sepa-
rated in three distinct areas; the North, the South
and the 38th parallel. The war had many impact
of these nations and particularly on the folk. Since
70 years around 100 000 families have been sepa-
rated and are denied any exchange or contactand
so few can actually see each other with the official
meeting organized by the red cross.
This project takes in consideration the will of
contact of the folk of the two nations and the
improvement of the relation between the two
Koreas. This 1km architectural intervention in-
vests the extraordinary flora of the Demilitarized
zone wwto bring the people together.
This architectural and landscaped intervention
displays how a boarder can not only separate but
also link two countries.

PROJECT of Hélène BRIGLIA and Charlotte GRESET
DUBLIN, IRELAND
With the rising water level around the world
we must find new ways of living. These floating
modules were our answer to the current climate
change context in Dublin. This project takes into
consideration the use of recycled material and the
possibility to roam in different environnements.
The different typologies of housings are the result
of repurposed containers of the Dublin harbour
to suit different lifestyles. The cluster of individual
modules brings a new dynamic between existing
neighbourhoods. This new connection expresses
itself throughout a floating neighbourhood that is
always in motion. By creating this new link we are
able to activate neighbourhoods and give a new
relationship between water and architecture. But
above all this project is a way to give the citizen a
new look on their way of living and on their city.

. 2016 LIVING MODULE PROTOTYPE WORKSHOP
WORKSHOP WITH INSA STRASBOURG, COULEUR DU BENIN and TOURISME
SANS FRONTIERES
POSSOTOME, BENIN
This prototype was sponsored by Couleur du Be-
nin, Tourisme sans Frontières and INSA stras-
bourg. It was the last step of whole year study
for the futur graduates of INSA and was a real
confrontation to the building and closing phase
of a small scale architectural intervention. The
prototype was constructed in the village of Pos-
sotome for a groupe of agriculture workers. This
living module was built by the students with the
helps of the villagers and workers. It was a real
exchange concerning different construction tech-
niques and the use of local material such as ebony
wood, palm stalks and wax fabric. These different
material had us obliged to change some design
aspects making the construction lighter and less
complex. The goal was to show the workers how to
make the truss of the wooden framework in order
for them to continu the construction after we left.
This workshop made us realise that it is important
to work with the client/ users so as to adapt our
designs for their comfort.

GROUP PROJECT with the help of BUSCOT R/ TROUSSIER M / VEDLIN C/
WATERKEYN J
NOKOUE LAKE, BENIN
The goal of this project was to bring a new mea-
ning to the relationship between architecture and
water. In Benin, riparian architecture is in peril
due to lack of protection of the biodiversity of the
major lacs. The creation of a biodiversity center
helps the surrounding villages to better unders-
tand the ecosystem and the ecolodges are a new
interraction with the environnement by bringing
a new experience throughout the seasons. Those
two major poles are connected by a long board-
walk punctuated by a rainwater collecting system
with zenital openings letting the rain transform
the atmosphere and approach of the spatiality. The
collected rainwater is then used for the ecoldges.
The retaining system is directly connected to the
ecoldges rigged at the central deck and it is also
possible to refill the tanks of the ecolodges that
are further in the lake. These ecolodges give diffe-
rent point of views of the rich ecosystem of the
lake Nokoue to the travellers that are looking for
new experiences.

GROUP PROJECT/WORKSHOP with the help of CORNU R/ DU-
VAL C/ DECILLIA B/ LAI W
TARGU MURES, ROUMANIA
Targu Mures is a Roumanian city that has an urban
planning typically influenced by the cold war pe-
riod. Unfortunately some of the neighbourhoods
seem to suffer from the "socialist housing" typo-
logy and urban planning. This workshop sponso-
red by the City Council of Targu Mures gave us
the opportunity to be confronted to this urban
system. Our proposition took in consideration
the high potential of the neighbourhood by ma-
king some light changes and by activating some
of the key areas of the neighbourhood by creating
some strong axis, bringing some new activities
and by making the neighbourhood less congested.
Being at the far east of Targu Mures, by activating
this neighbourhood this strategy reaches out to
nearby towns like Livezeni and Corunca. This gi-
ves a new momentum to Targu Mures. This inter-
vention uses the over structured urban planning
and benefits the citizens by investing the streets
and giving them back their public places.

PROJECT of Charlotte GRESET with the help of BUSCOT R/ FINDJI H
/ DE JONGHE G
COLOGNE, GERMANY
Death has a special place in everybodies life and
we apprehend the lose of the people dear to us.
This project gives a new look at the process of
grieving and funurals through the use of promes-
sion. This project was the final presentation of
Charlotte Greset and gave us the opportunity of
giving a lending hand with the end of the concep-
tion phase and all of the presentation for all the
month of september. I was in charge of the se-
quence of the grieving process, its finality and the
representation of the project in its whole; Cyma
and display, viewpoint images, diagrams, section
plans, plans. This projects is sequenced in three
sections. The first one is composed by a building
dedicaded to the wake of the deceased where fa-
milies are brought together in intimate rooms.
The second one is the ceremonial building where
the last parting is organised. The last section is
the memorial forest where the families come and
burry the remains of the late family member and
plant a tree. They also have a commemorate plate
on the wall of memories surrounded by a luxu-
rious forest.

2nd PLACE
PROJECT with the help of Duval C
STRASBOURG, FRANCE
The Shadok of Strasbourg is an institution pro-
moting "l'art numérique" and for their opening
they launched a design competition for some
new furniture that would reflect their philo-
sophy. Our proposition tied together mobility,
fonctionnality and flexibility. The general idea
was to make furniture that would easily adapt
according to the needs of the users of the Sha-
dok and the Fablab. These furniture have diffe-
rent usage depending on how you arrange them
and are easily made in a Fablab with minimal
material waste. The material used are wooden
boards that will be cut with the patterns of each
furniture and glued together and steel rebar
that are bent and welded together.
By adapting the furniture according to the
needs the goal is to adapt the spatiality surroun-
ding us.
