a_LTA architectes - le trionnaire x2 - tassot - le chapelain is a partnership composed by four architects based in Rennes_FRANCE. We regroup 20 persons from urban to execution. First of all our association is the meeting and the friendship of 2 people : maxime le trionnaire and gwénaël le chapelain This encounter occurred in 1997 in the School of Architecture of Nantes. During our studies, we create a deep bond and polish our architect's visions. Graduated in 2004, we work in many architecture agencies with good reputation like Architecture Studio, Block, Duncan Lewis, Stéphane Maupin, X'tu, ... In parallel, we carry through several design competitions and a cycle of installations about sport and architecture. Bolstered up by this experience, we decide in 2006 to set up our own business and to constitute "mxg architectes". Our first orders came from the west of France. In 2010 we integrate existing group named a_LTA architectes as principal associates and become a_LTA architectes - le trionnaire x2 - tassot - le chapelain Our projects are particular, organized and realized with a pragmatic aim in view. Our operations are reproductions of signs taken from some specific fields, the purpose of which is a search of feelings. we are sensitive to the contexts in which we operate. That's why we are particularly interested in local, history and psychological fields of projects. As these contexts are rarely homogeneous, our writing tends to be hybrid. Those projects are realized or on-going projects on various scales. They prove our interest for elements that are transferred, imitated and put together, and that keep a definite link as sign/object to their referent. a_LTA architectes gladly chose the local instead of the global and the specific instead of the generic, our aims to execute a simple and understandable architecture, an architecture close to its surroundings. a_LTA architectes - le trionnaire x2 - tassot - le chapelain is 40 under 40 architects 2014
