Vincent Jackow
MArch Candidate
Vincent is currently a Master of Architecture candidate at MIT. Originally from France, he graduated in 2020 from a double-major program combining engineering and architecture at INSA and ENSA Lyon.
Before joining MIT, Vincent worked in several architecture firms in France and Denmark, developing life-cycle assessment (LCA) tools and circular design methods for end-of-life materials.
At MIT, he continues to design with alternative materials, including waste and earthen construction systems, exploring the potential of digital fabrication in their implementation.
Projects
Reconstructed - Archived fragments
Within the current socio-economic and climate crises, cities have to adapt and transform their building stocks to match new pressing challenges.
As MIT’s School of Architecture is moving to the Metropolitan Warehouse, a XIXth century brick storage facility, this project imagines an archive of massive brick offcuts resulting from openings in the existing structure. Within a campus’ courtyard, these monolithic wall fragments celebrate a relocation and its ‘archived’ experiences.
From ruins and demolition waste can emerge a new circular material culture, giving value to weathered surfaces and exploring the potential of material reuse as an emerging form of creative practice.
Core 01 (Fall 2022) - Jeff Landman, Liam O’Brien, Carrie Norman
