Neide Amaral Atelier / estúdio mariane rios

The haute couture studio underwent an emblematic architectural intervention, transforming the physical space into a fundamental pillar in the renewal of the brand's visual identity. The creation of a new environment and facade enhanced its products, reached new audiences, and established a more contemporary and sophisticated visual communication.

In Montévrain, at the heart of the developing eco-district, the stadium is part of an ambitious territorial dynamic, linked to the recent creation of the middle school, the "Montévrain Sport Académie" complex, and the future high school. This new inter-communal facility, comprising an inter-regional athletics track, an approved soccer pitch, a 500-seat grandstand, and a changing room building, is designed to be functional, emblematic, and respectful of its environment. The architectural project is based on a sober, integrated, and landscaped approach, in which the right shapes interact with both the natural and urban setting.

Playgrounds are spatial instruments through which society projects its expectations on childhood, testing the boundaries between control and autonomy, exposure and protection. They regulate how children relate to space, to others, and their bodies — encoding, often invisibly, social norms, fears, and aspirations. In this sense, playgrounds are not peripheral spaces of leisure; they are political constructs shaped by specific ideologies about what childhood is and how it should unfold. Since 1989, the right to play has been formally recognised in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, affirming that play is a fundamental part of human development. To design a playground is not only to draw lines on a plan or to install equipment in a park; it is to define the conditions under which play is permitted, imagined, or constrained.
