Marc Leschelier

Marc Leschelier, born in 1984, is an architect and teacher at the École d’Architecture Paris-Malaquais. His work defends the possibility of a radically independent practice and insists on the importance of conceiving Architecture in a space-time desynchronized from real contingencies. His most recent works, such as Cinéma des ombres, Architecture-Forme solaire and Atelier de superpositions, therefore anticipate commissions, just as they redefine the programmatic categories of the discipline. In 2011, Marc Leschelier received a grant from the Fondation Le Corbusier, and has since undertaken a project to rewrite the history of the Villa La Roche through the notes and hypotheses left by American architect John Hejduk. Other publications in the pipeline include a script-novel translated from a Jonas Mekas film about Austrian architect Raimund Abraham, and an artist’s book on Cinéma des ombres published by Paris-Expérimental.
