FUSO practices an architecture that moves between stage, courtyard, and garden.
Rooted in a background of engineer-architects trained in the precision of the École Polytechnique, FUSO embraces a technical architecture—one that finds its strength in structure, systems, materials, construction, and economic rigor, all seen as the essential conditions for making anything possible. Yet, FUSO also cultivates the unexpected: the surprises of use, shifting situations, and changing paradigms. Their practice begins with what is already there—light, matter, water, the site, and the means available. To last longer, adapt better, and build with people rather than for them, by observing and engaging. FUSO sees architecture as a culture of doing—with rigor and imagination—to enable interactions and iterations, scenarios still to be written.
AHA designed FUSO’s website, Between Stage, Courtyard, and Garden, as three tableaux that invite these interactions and evolving narratives. With Juanma Gomez and Leslie Guidez, graphic designers, and Adrien Goua, web developer.
