Poïesis

Charlotte Vergély is a partner in the Lyon firm of architects Avec and also lectures at the ENSAL School of Architecture. She is a compulsive designer, who has always filled sketch pads with projects she dreams up well outside the scope of her architectural work.  Archibald Verney-Carron has been immersed in the world of contemporary art since a very young age through his family-run firm Art Entreprise. He is now an urban scenographer, committed to introducing an artistic dimension into the construction of cities. Charlotte provides the ideas and Archibald, the expertise. Driven by their desire to bring back joy to the city, they happened upon the idea of creating Poïesis in 2019, the year that also marks their first collaboration in the Festival of Lights.
