baufiktion is a visualization studio founded by Maël Barbe, architect -

for architects and all those who design, transform, or imagine the built environment.

baufiktion translates ideas into atmosphere, drawings into visual narratives.

​

Our work unfolds along two complementary axes:

​

Digital image - Precise, crafted renderings supporting competitions, urban strategies, real estate development, and object design. Each image is a sensitive interpretation, attentive to materiality, light, and human experience, going beyond photorealism to capture the essence of the built environment.

​

AI Visual research — speculative and experimental explorations that harness artificial intelligence to rethink architectural unbuilt space, form, and perception. This research-driven approach blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, expanding the possibilities of architectural visualization and design thinking.

​

Together, these two approaches enable baufiktion to navigate between the real and the imagined, crafting moments suspended in between — where architecture becomes both precise and poetic.
