expertise
The artwork, from design to conservation.
engineering & design
for artists, production companies, galleries, institutions and private companies
A sketch, a mockup, an artistic intention: we translate them into a buildable artwork. We study feasibility, design the structure, select materials and assemblies, in constant dialogue with the artist and builders. 3D modelling and parametric tools let us explore the most complex forms while keeping costs under control.
services
- technical and financial feasibility study
- study of the artwork's form and materials
- production of technical drawings and details
- 3D and parametric modelling
- planning of the artwork's fabrication and installation
project management
for public or private clients and artists who have won a commission
Between the artist, the client and the contractors, we manage the project until the artwork installation. We work in particular within the French 1% for art scheme and public art commissions. Supported by a network of partners, we make sure the finished work is true to the artist's intent, within budget and on schedule.
services
- detailed design and preparation of deliverables
- contractor tendering and bid analysis
- supervision of the artwork's fabrication and installation
- scheduling and cost control
restoration & conservation
for owners of art collections, local authorities, companies and rights holders
The history of artworks is marked by time. Materials deteriorate, joints wear out and building standards evolve. We work on existing artworks, some of them built more than 30 years ago. We assess their condition, then support and manage their restoration.
condition report
Survey, documentation, assessment and diagnosis of the artwork.
recommendations
Work to be planned, priorities, scheduling.
contractor tendering
Selection of partners, technical specifications and bid analysis.
site supervision
Supervision of the works through to final acceptance.
our approach
listen
Every project starts with the artist's intent. We take the time to understand it before proposing a solution.
explore
3D modelling and parametric tools let us explore the most complex forms and control their fabrication, costs and schedules.
frame
Method, schedule, budget: we respect a clear framework agreed together from the outset.
collaborate
We work as a team with artists, clients and builders, from the first sketch to the installation of the artwork.
