👉 Beneath the surface, she offers a clear-eyed and sensitive vision of her profession: preserving without freezing, restoring so that places continue to live.

In this episode of Com d’Archi, we meet Maël de Quelen, Chief Architect of Historic Monuments and heritage architect, founder of her eponymous agency in Paris.


Guided since childhood by a love for historic places and an acute awareness of their fragility, she retraces her journey alongside major figures — Thierry Algrain, Lionel Dubois, Benjamin Mouton — and her commitment to restoring churches, châteaux, and emblematic sites of our shared history.

Through concrete examples, from the Château de Chambord to the Collegiate Church of Saint-Yved in Braine, she reflects on the beauty of craftsmanship, the richness of collaborative work, and the singular emotion that arises on restoration sites.

Maël also speaks about her relationship to long timeframes, the humility required in conservation, and her hope in the younger generation that is finding its way back to heritage work.

👉 An inspiring conversation at the crossroads of past and future, where hand, material, and memory come together to give new life to monuments.


🎧 A must-listen episode for anyone who believes that saving stone is a way to illuminate tomorrow.

📌 Com d’Archi is an independent podcast dedicated to architecture and to those who shape it.
