Saga: from “segja”, “tale” in Icelandic.
Created in 2014, saga is a collective of four architects from Nantes, France. United through the same passion about architecture, art and landscape, saga is open to everyone that longs to create new dynamics within those fields. We believe that architecture should overcome its own boundaries, meaning that it needs to come out of its traditional context and slowly become something more universal. For that, we try to get involved in singular contexts, using architecture as tool to shine a light on individual and collective situations. Our tool is the act of building, physically, engaging our bodies and minds in the realization of every project. saga longs to learn by doing, sharing the process with the most, the goal being to experiment new ways to create collectively. The group wants to promote the idea of architecture being a cooperative act involving various fields, the common goal being to create better and meaningful cities. saga wants to share its opportunities with those that rarely have access to it, and in particular students for whom experimentation is essential. Our goal is to act as a platform that can gather a diversity of people and initiatives to create new opportunities. Saga is working step by step, every project being a new fragment of a bigger story.
