Summary
Frédéric Bourgeon is a structural engineer and founding director with 13 years of experience who leads Granulo, an eco-construction firm in Rennes advising architects, builders and public clients on structure and envelope design. He combines advanced bridge and cable-structure expertise from major infrastructure projects with hands-on practice in timber, straw, hemp, raw earth and stone for low-carbon new-build and refurbishment works. Comfortable switching between integrated architect-engineer teams and contractor environments, he has built a niche around biosourced and geosourced materials and on-site earth masonry. Frédéric also contributes to national research on the mechanical behavior of raw earth, teaches at architecture schools and runs climate workshops, signaling a strong commitment to knowledge transfer and sector development. He pairs rigorous engineering training from École des Ponts and Arts et Métiers with a pragmatic, construction-first approach—able to move from tendered design packages to chantier coordination. An uncommon strength is his experience spanning both high-tech cable projects and traditional earth-based masonry, enabling creative, low-carbon structural solutions.
