origin and journey<\/p>\n
Originally from a peasant family in Landecy (1946), in the commune of Bardonnex\/Compesi\u00e8res, Marcellin Barthassat emigrated to the city of Geneva (1962). He did an apprenticeship with Claude Segond, a civil engineer, then expressed his interest in architecture during an internship at the Lambelin workshop in Nice in 1969. After several years of practice and training, he obtained his title of architect in 1983 in Zurich.<\/p>\n
In 1984, he was co-founder of the architect collective bbbm, which initiated several significant achievements. Among them, the transformation of the large rural area of Landecy for a housing cooperative of 14 families (Interassar prize 1997), the Riddes safeguard plan (Swiss Heritage prize Valais 1998), housing buildings in the Pommier district ( competition winner in 1999), and the Cressy district (competition winner in 2001), or the restoration of the Bains and the Jet\u00e9e des P\u00e2quis (1992 – 2002).<\/p>\n
These different experiences and achievements will lead him to the position of guest professor at the Institute of Architecture of the University of Geneva (IAUG) in the \u201csafeguarding of built heritage\u201d chair (1995 – 1998), and collaborates there with Philippe Speiser, Giorgio Bello and Pierre-Alain Mottiez. Then he was invited in 1996 by Giancarlo De Carlo to the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD) in Urbino and San Marino. He joined the Society of Architects and Engineers (SIA) in 1996, then in 1998 the Federation of Swiss Architects (FAS). A member of the Swiss Heritage committee since 1998, he chaired the Geneva section between 2003 and 2011.<\/p>\n
territory, landscape, ecology and teaching<\/p>\n
Since 2001 Marcellin Barthassat has been part of an orientation which favors ecological approaches, at the scale of the landscape and territory. Successively, the architectural collective where he works will be involved in the \u201crenaturation\u201d of the waterways of the Versoix (Protection Plan 2000), and the Aire (diagnosis phase and organization of the 2001 competition). ) and the Seymaz (2006 Hochparterre prize).<\/p>\n
He then joined the \u201carchitecture and landscape\u201d sector at the IAUG, from 2002 to 2006, under the direction of Georges Descombes, Michel Corajoud and Alain L\u00e9veill\u00e9. Then, from 2009 to 2018, he taught\u00a0project in the landscape architecture sector\u00a0under the direction of the late Laurent Daune, then\u00a0Natacha Guillaumont, at the Geneva High School of Landscape, Engineering and Architecture (HEPIA). His interest in the urban question made him become a member, in 2009, of the Federation of Swiss Urban Planners (FSU)<\/p>\n
In 2014, as part of the University of Geneva and the HEPIA High School,\u00a0Bernard Debarbieux, Laurent Matthey and\u00a0Laurent Daune created a\u00a0joint Master’s degree\u00a0in territorial development (UNIGE-HEPIA). Until 2018, Marcellin Barthassat was asked to lead and host a project workshop with, successively, Pierre-Alain Rumley, Val\u00e9rie Sauter, Christophe Schubarth, Mich\u00e8le Tranda Pittion, Mathieu Petite and Mathias Lecoq.<\/p>\n
His passion for the mountains (practicing mountaineering since 1964) simultaneously allows him to reinforce a perception and a nourishing knowledge of natural, rural and urban territories or landscapes.<\/p>\n
evolution of workshop work<\/p>\n
Since 2008, he has co-directed the ar-ter workshop, established in Carouge. Their acronym reflects a desire for a relationship between architecture and the different scales of the territory. Recognition of the context and an economy of means are the basis of their project practice. Together they are carrying out several development and town planning studies in the peri-urban area of Greater Geneva, and are leading several development and public space projects. The workshop has carried out several conversions (farms, old hydraulic site, CFF layout) as well as several housing constructions, a market garden hall, a multi-purpose center in Vessy, the restoration of the Pont de Carouge, etc. (www.ar-ter.ch)<\/p>\n
In 2018, the ar-ter and Andrey Barthassat arcitectes workshops brought together their skills, knowledge and energies in the creation of a common \u201cfour architecture territory\u201d workshop by consolidating the two workplaces in Geneva and Lausanne. The year 2019 then opens with perspectives extending over Romandy, while retaining the two original structures.
