The Versailles National Higher School of Architecture organized the second edition of the exhibition for the Biennale d'Architecture et de Paysage d'Île-de-France. The exhibition Visible invisible, curated by Nicolas Dorval-Bory and Guillaume Ramillien, explored the mechanisms of transformation of the soil, materials and energies, visible and invisible, in the act of building.
The main objective of the exhibition was to highlight a new generation of architects, artists and engineers who directly consider natural material and energy resources to develop their projects. More than ever, these resources are seen as the starting point for spatial design.

The exhibition organized by the National School of Architecture of Versailles was structured in three stages: A Monument, which brings together the material and energy resources of the area; La Maréchalerie, an exhibition of the new practices of more than 40 local and international architects; and workshops, conferences and round tables that invite us to experiment and discuss the visible and invisible materials of the exhibition.
In the second stage of Visible invisible, La Maréchalerie, four architects are invited to present an outdoor pavilion, each with a theme: Baukunst (solar), Ensamble (ear), LCLA (water), Mary Duggan (plaster). It also brings together exclusive works by approximately forty architects, such as models, photographs, installations, exhibited in the main nave.

Three years after its first edition, curated by Djamel Klouche, the École Nationale Supériere d'Architecture de Versailles is organising the second edition of the exhibition for the Biennale d'Architecture et de Paysage d'Île-de-France. The exhibition Visible invisible, curated by Nicolas Dorval-Bory and Guillaume Ramillien, is open from 5/14 to 7/13 and free to the public.
The exhibition aims to highlight a new generation of architects, artists and engineers who directly consider material (stone, wood, earth...) and energy resources (sun, water, thermodynamics...), which are the visible and invisible materials of the exhibition, to develop projects.
Visible Invisible is structured in three stages:
1 - A Monumenta, which inventories the material and energy resources of the Region.
2 - An exhibition of the new practices of more than 40 local and international architects.
2a. Four architects are invited to present an outdoor pavilion, each with a theme: Baukunst (solar), Ensamble (earth), LCLA (water), Mary Duggan (gypsum)
2b. About forty architects, pres=nting exclusive works (models, photographs, installations...), exhibited in the Nef.

Guillaume Ramillien Studio
Guillaume Ramillien Studio. Since 2008, Guillaume Ramillien's studio has been led by their voluntarism, generosity and innovation – projects on various scales, from architecture to those of objects and landscapes, continually nourishing their approach to the specificities of each of these different scales and, of course, their complementarity.
Guided by the notions of intermittency and finiteness of resources in the current context of climatic and ecological upheavals, their proposals strive to enhance the different forms of energy – human and natural – of the places where we operate, all while preserving their balance.
Guillaume Ramillien's studio work is based upon a particular sensitivity to the unique identities of the places under our consideration; a sensitivity fueled by the physical reality of the place, its atmosphere and materiality, and what the place reminds of, and suggests to us. They give a "high priority" to the notion of the environment – whether it be geological, biological, atmospheric or cultural – they consider architecture as an art of qualifying – and often fixing – the ecotones of anthropized environments. By enriching their values, they also view our architecture as an art of manipulating time and atmospheres created by the implementation of materials and energies with visible and invisible qualities – such as sensual, poetic and evocative ones.
