Corps Mort / Corps Vivant

For 25 years, Triptyque Architecture has charted a unique path between France and Brazil, inventing an architectural language informed by both tropical experimentation and the constructive rigor inherited from European modernism.

This dual cultural affiliation has forged a practice where structure and use intertwine, where the built environment is in constant dialogue with the city, the climate, and the living world.

The exhibition "Corps Mort / Corps Vivant" offers a reinterpretation of the firm's emblematic projects through a fertile tension: on the one hand, the permanent, stable, mineral, and rigorous structural order; on the other, the shifting order of use and pleasure, light, organic, and reprogrammable.

This contrast, far from being an opposition, establishes a dialectic that is integral to Triptyque's work: a balancing act between permanence and transformation, between inertia and vitality.
