Engineering for art
PAAR supports the design, delivery and conservation of artworks
PAAR is a Nantes-based agency bringing together engineers, architects and production managers. We support monumental artwork projects, integrated into architecture or public space. We work alongside artists, institutions and public and private commissioning clients. From design to delivery, we are involved at every stage in the life of an artwork, always in service of the artistic intent and the people who carry it.
