Le Corbusier, the symbol of modern architecture, created four buildings at Firminy. During this workshop, the students stayed in the Unité d’Habitation and worked in the church, which they used as a context to reflect and work on current situation of transition, demodernisation and decentralisation.

Sophie Nys
A graduate of Jan van Eyck Akademie, Belgian artist Sophie Nys works with a variety of media and materials. She pushes conceptual and minimalist artistic strategies to their logical and formal limits, whilst retaining their poetic eloquence as subjects derived from everyday life. Her work has been shown at the Zurich Kunsthalle, the Venice Biennale and at the Maniera gallery and the Wiels in Brussels.
