Laurie Gangarossa

Laurie Gangarossa is an HMONP architect, a graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Clermont-Ferrand, after completing a preliminary literary course in khâgne and hypokhâgne.

She is co-founder of the incipit studio in Lyon, where her practice combines different scales (architecture, urban planning, landscape) and storytelling. Her fields of activity focus mainly on public commissions, from project management assistance to project management. They focus on public spaces and commons in areas that are often marginalized and lacking in engineering.
As a member of the board of directors of Archipel Centre de Culture Urbaine in Lyon, she participates in architectural culture mediation projects through this association.

After teaching at Eav&t, ENSAG, and ENSAL, she is now a lecturer at ENSACF, where she is elected to the CFVE and co-coordinates the City and Territories field. She teaches both design and research at the bachelor's level and within the EVAN (Entre Ville Architecture et Nature) master's program.
A permanent member of the UMR Resources department at the same institution, she is also working on a thesis in architecture at the Observatoire de la Condition Suburbaine laboratory (ED VTT, Université Paris-Est). Supervised by Sébastien Marot and entitled “Rooms of One's Own: Figures of Architect-Autobiographers (1925-2025),” her thesis examines the forms and conditions of autobiographical writing among architects and the ways in which they produce knowledge.
Her research maintains a dual culture of design and research, while exploring a variety of writing styles: from scientific to fictional writing, from the description of reality to prospective invention.
