This project was made as a live architecture lesson because the balance and the stability of the whole come only when the last piece is installed. By using the traditionnal octagram's pattern from the European Mauresque geometric art, this table is looking to find the best shape for being both aesthetic and structural. And all of that without requiring any screw or glue. The final result reveals the octagram's pattern through the structure, and makes two X on the table, thus explaining the name.

Passioned by artistic process as well as the building technics used in architecture, his projects are the result of deep thinking taking in account the singularity of contexts. The architectural one obviously matters (orientation, sizing, building integration…), but sometimes one must also consider historical, social, cultural or religious contexts. All these constraints combined are as many challenges that push him to find creative and original responses in his work. After his graduation, and as he's still eager to learn, Saïd Belmir decided to self-educate himself to become familiar with hi-tech tools, to master the realization of his thoughts, and live architecture in line with his progressive vision. That’s how he became a 3D-Artist recognized by its peers for his ability to create realistic 3D environments, his aesthetic sense, and his attention to detail. Excited by what the 3D-printing could offer in terms of construction, and virtual reality in terms of immersion, Saïd Belmir always strives to keep himself up-to-date about new technologies.

Saïd Belmir is a french architect and designer. Each of his creations in design is looking to find the best shape for being both aesthetic and structural. His productions play with the materials properties and use new assemblies inspired by geometric patterns to find their balance and stability. And all of that without requiring any screw or glue.
