29 28 #11 Adrien Meuwly, Adrien Comte & Theo de Meyer Adrien Comte and Adrien Meuwly founded COMTE/ MEUWLY which cultivates the ability to be surprised, to be fascinated by unexpected encounters and discoveries. They develop each project as a narrative, based on the reading of a new situation. What they are observing is not the grandiose, the grandiloquent, nor the sublime, but characters, scenes, objects, places: anchor points whose beauty emerges from their scrupulous assembly, from their relationship in the project. Founded in 2017 in Zurich and Geneva, Compte/Meuwly develops and constructs projects at all scales. From a series of open-plan houses to the transformation of several heritage buildings and the construction of pieces of furniture. They are participating in exhibitions and fairs such as the Milano Design Week or the Swiss --Awards, for which they have been nominated in 2019. Theo De Meyer is an architect operating between multiple practices. Among other things, he works as a project architect for jan de vylder inge vinck architects and as an assistant at the ETH University of Zurich. Through collaborations with artist Manor Grunewald and doorzon interieur architecten, he developed his own independent and still expanding field, including scenography as well as furniture and architecture. Together with Doorzon interieur architecten, Theo froms the core of the Stand Van Zaken modular collective, creator of furniture and architecture through collaborations with specialists in various fields.

Workshop: mean-time²-gate #15 Marine de Dardel & Lorenza Donati Lorenza Donati holds a degree in architecture from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, after having graduated with her Masterthesis ‘Palace Robert’ at the Studio Tom Emerson. She went on working with 6a architects (London), Ilai (Zürich) and Bruther (Paris), on several architecture competitions and building projects. Until 2018 she held a position as a teaching assistant and research fellow at the ETH Zurich with Prof. Christian Kerez and Arno Brandlhuber. Since 2020 she dedicates herself to the creation of the agency ‘ALIAS’ to develop independent and collaborative projects across the vast spectrum of architecture, research and interdisciplinary collaboration, with a particular focus on architectural narratives. Marine de Dardel studied Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, qualifying in 2015 with Prof. Markus Peter. Her diploma project ‘Herodiade’ was formulated as an hommage to Mallarmé and concluded several years of research on the relation between form and content and the (re-)writing of a poetic architectural langage. She went on working with Meili, Peter (ZH/MUC) and Lütjens Padmanabhan (ZH), both participating in international competitions and the realisation of complex building projects. Since 2017 she is a project architect at Made in (ZH/GVA), notable realisations include the Gleisarena office building in Zurich, for which she developed a cutting edge glas brick façade design dealing with highly challenging geometries. Since 2018 she has taken over a position as a teaching assistant and research fellow at ETH Zurich with the Voluptas chair for Architecture and Design (Prof. Charbonnet/Heiz) alongside her architectural practice. Since 2021 she has undertaken the study of Creative Coding and Computing at the Zürich University of the Arts to extend both her technical and creative skills mastery. Together they work on projects at the crossroads between architecture, research and creative direction, fascinated by the abundance of information and endless multiplicities of perception. Driven by contemporary situations we approach the complexity of sites through the means of multidisciplinary sources and a referential vocabulary. Our latest common project was a Workshop at ENSAP Malaquais in Paris, working with time-based medias and contemporary urban situations.

She is currently working as a research assistant at the Faculty of Architecture and Design, - mainly involved in the teaching of first year students in architecture, and also in supervision of master’s theses, workshops and book publishing projects. Her fields of interest are creative processes and methods, materials and the crossing and overlap between creative diciplines. How we as architects give form to an idea, how we communicate it, and what kind of language and tools we use to discuss and find architectural quality, are in her eyes engaging and essential questions in the field of architecture – a field that constantly alternates between the abstract and the concrete.
