Life, assembled

Elodie Degavre is an architect, teacher, photographer, author and director and lives in Brussels. Passionate about her profession, which she does not hesitate to decline in various forms, she has been teaching architecture projects at ULB since 2006 and in 2018 led a research project at UCL on the theme of housing. She worked as a practicing architect for more than thirteen years, on public worksites, on behalf of several Brussels offices, including V+ and a practice. Increasingly interested in “telling” about architecture, she regularly collaborates with the magazine A+ Architecture in Belgium for exhibitions or articles. Wishing to redefine her practice as an architect by directing it towards a secular audience, she is now expanding her activities to film writing. With Life assembled (La vie en kit), she takes a further step towards the public by making a documentary. She thus reconnects with her intuitive love for writing and for the image, which she has nurtured by an assiduous practice of photography since childhood, and by participation in fiction writing workshops.
