The founders of PARC Architectes believe the specificity of their profession is to deal with a “heterogeneous context", that is why they cultivate openness to other fields such as engineering, geography or contemporary art. Emeric Lambert explored social sciences with his PhD research on the suburban environment while Brice Chapon trained on environmental and sustainable architectural design. Their approach aims to integrate the different stakeholders and areas of expertise throughout the project.
PARC Architectes create buildings that unite science and art. They design them as devices best suited to their uses in terms of construction and climate. Their architecture combine structures, climates and activities. The structure settles in the environment, generating a climate and allowing a specific program to develop into the building. Sustainable architecture is not only a matter of ecological techniques or political discourses, it is the resurgence of climatic sensitive events in architectural spaces such as drafts, sounds, shadows, steams or vibrations.
In 2012, PARC Architectes is awarded the AJAP « Young Architecture Prize » by the French Minister of Culture and Communication. The office counts an average of 8 collaborators, it has participated to several international competitions in Europe and is currently working on different projects of urban planning, public buildings, dwellings and offices in France.
They delivered their first public building in 2013 : an auditorium and chorale-singing school for the French National Radio situated in the outskirts of Paris (Bondy). The building has already been widely published in France and Europe.
They also were invited by Dutch foundation Global Art Affairs to participate to a collective exhibition and present their prospective research “The Realm of the Suburban, The experimental territory of the XXth century” as part as the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale.
PARC Architectes is also involved in education. Emeric Lambert teaches at the School of Architecture in Versailles, and Brice Chapon gives classes at the School of Architecture of Paris Val-de-Seine.

This auditorium is a new symbol in the suburban city of Bondy. The building plays with the aesthetics of the warehouse : a very simple square plan and an ondulated metal skin. Unlike a warehouse, it opens to its context through a series of arch, letting in public spaces natural light and views. Inside the building, every space have a specific acoustic and ambiance related to its function.
