Siméon Gonnet

    Siméon Gonnet is an architect. After graduating from the Clermont-Ferrand School of Architecture in 2020, he spent the following year as a research associate on the research project “Territoires du possible: résistances, initalités, archaïque” (Territories of possibility: resistance, initialities, archaic) under the supervision of Stéphane Bonzani, Marc Antoine-Durand, and Simon Teyssou. Alongside this experience, he began working as an independent practitioner before joining forces in 2022 to create Atelier Jabberwock.
    Since 2023, he has been pursuing a doctoral thesis at the OCS laboratory under the supervision of Paul Landauer and Stéphane Bonzani as part of a doctoral contract with the Ministry of Culture.
    Both his research and his practice explore the relationship between demolition and the process of construction and question the predominant role of this activity in the history of architecture.
