FABRIQUES Architectures Paysages, directed by Pierre Janin, brings together the skills of architecture and landscape and works mainly on projects and studies related to the rural environment and agriculture, with three areas of action;
– The construction of public facilities in rural areas, mainly in timber frame construction, which clearly raises the question of the use of local resources and the link to the landscape.
– The construction of agricultural buildings, often for public authorities.
– Urban and prospective studies dealing with the link between agricultural and urban practices.
The combination of these three themes anchors the agency’s practice in rural and peri-urban areas, tackling a variety of programmes and projects for which the question of the economy of means and the economy of the building site is always at the centre of the design.

Vinu Daniel completed his B. Arch in 2005 from The College of Engineering, Trivandrum, following which he worked with Auroville Earth Institute for the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) Post-Tsunami construction. On returning from Pondicherry in 2007 he started ‘Wallmakers’ which was christened thus by others, as the first project was just a compound wall. Many such eye-openers in the course of his practice prompted him to resolve to devote his energies towards the cause of sustainable and cost-effective architecture.
