Ten years after creating her agency, Anne Démians ranks among the most respected architects of her generation among French developers and contracting authorities.
Her credo is based on the need to anticipate urban developments before speculative amenities and urban sprawl contradict the territorial balance. This balance is being slowly but irremediably broken by the recent acceleration in critical situations. In the interest of seeing architecture used as a general logic for each building, she designs energy efficient buildings, capable of adapting to other uses over time, legible leitmotifs in her architectural portfolio, free of pre-established rules.
Having a head start on twenty-first century urban planning and implementing an adaptable town is not an incantatory speech on her behalf, but rather a way of rethinking the density and diversity in broader terms and in a creative way as her current projects bear witness. Her commitment against restrictive certifications led her to participate in the work group created by the Ministry of Energy of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning, and to consider the applications and changes to be made to.
