Emilie believes that the role of Architecture is to transform the world to become more beautiful. To create instants of emotion, that tie people to a space. Like good poetry, it should combine a sensitive approach with a good dose of humour. When not consumed by thoughts on this, Emilie listens to music (while singing along), reads, laughs whenever possible and tries to get to pilates and yoga more often that she does.
