Clement Blanchet Architecture wish you a beautiful New Year — built on trust, shared projects, and collective energy.

2026 begins.
A year to bring to life.
Projects to launch, transform, reveal.
Ideas to shape.
Places to make alive — together.

At CBA architecture is a human adventure.

We believe that Concept Comes before Aesthetics,
that Context Brings Answers,
and that Curiosity Builds Alliances between people as much as between places.

Each project is a shared story.
A journey of teamwork, trust, and commitment.
This is how architecture comes to life.

Thank you to all those who make these projects possible
and who are building 2026 with us —
project after project, idea after idea.

Happy New Year!

“Our profession should not be a mere repetition of knowledge, but a constructed exploration, where the flipside of courage enables creation and progress.”

We’re thrilled to see the new Istituto Marangoni campus in Paris by Clément Blanchet Architecture [CBA] featured in the latest issue of NDA!

A project conceived as a place of learning, creative energy, and identity, right in the heart of Paris.

It’s a great opportunity to share our approach to architecture — rooted in the city, open to the world, and focused on the people who bring it to life.

The magazine is now on newsstands, and we highly recommend taking a look. (Spoiler: it’s beautiful and inspiring.)

As well as run buy the collective book "Le boulevard périphérique: Quel Avenir?" by / Archicity Editor

An essay by Clement Blanchet
Le Boulevard périphérique : du cadavre exquis à la modernité.

"The vital impetus inspired by the Situationists, who envisioned a city that is lived in and travelled through, can be used to reinvent the Périphérique. The projectual framework that needs to be submitted to it must be visionary and give everyone the desire to love modernity once again. This modernity must manifest itself in a new presence. To rethink the Paris ring road, it is not enough to empty it of traffic and replace it with surface vegetation, which is illusory in its effectiveness in helping the city to become sustainable in the future. The project that needs to be invented must be thought through in architectural terms: it is the very infrastructure that needs to be transformed and recreated to make the Boulevard the centerpiece of 21st century Paris."

What a thrill! July 6th 2024!

Well done to the whole team.

540 metres long, 44 metres wide, 5860 tonnes, or 75% of the weight of the Eiffel Tower:

A great social, happy, capable, and urban carpet.

It was a source of pride last night to see this bridge being opened up to new horizons and new uses.

 “The design is kept to the simplest expression, the least technical, the least lyrical, in fact an almost primitive structural solution. The bridge is conceived not to be an event in the city but actually a place to promote the events in the city. From an overdose of formal gesticulation, I wanted to propose a robust “plateau” that would last and contribute to unify the right and left river banks. ” Clement Blanchet

Clement Blanchet took part in the Printemps des Territoires event on 30 May 2024 as a keynote speaker.
