Der Ort der Ausstellung war das gut erreichbar gelegene Foyer eines Bürogebäudes, was für Materialwahl und gestalterische Möglichkeiten besonsondere Herausforderungen mit sich brachte. Wir definierten es als unsere Aufgabe, das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in einer Atmosphäre der Leichtigkeit, Eleganz und Zugänglichkeit zu präsentieren – in gezieltem Kontrast zu der oft als sehr belastend empfundenen Diskussion.

The project “les Archivistes” is the search for parts of a puzzle that make up the history of a modern city.

Herouville St.Claire is a 1960′s “ville neuf” (new town), planned and built with all the urban resources postwar modernism had to offer. “Le Tabularium” now attempted to put the puzzle together.
