"uapS"

uapS. Architecture studio founded in 1999 and directed by architect Anne Mie Depuydt, based in Paris since that same year. The uapS team is made up of architects and urban planners from different backgrounds.

With an original approach to intervention in the city, its territories, its buildings as well as its open space, the studio has acquired experience in projects of high architectural, urban and territorial complexity.

The main project strategy is carried out through dialogue. Each site, each urban or architectural program involves a tension between scale, object of study and ideas. Confronting theoretical approaches with everyday practices, space with its continuously evolving use, technique with artistic abstractions generates multiple scenarios to question in view of a continuously evolving environment.

It ensures open reflection by all stakeholders, in order to establish the invariables that will structure the urban context and space.

Anne Mie Depuydt. Architect, urban planner and internationally renowned teacher since 1991, she currently teaches Theories and Practices of Architectural and Urban Design (TCPAU) at the Ecole Nationale de Paris-Malaquais. In 1999, she founded uapS, an architectural studio that bases its operational and theoretical strategies on close observation of the territory.
