COORDINATION WITH ENGINEERING PARTNERS (STRUCTURAL NOTES, VALIDATIONS)
DEVELOPMENT OF INSTALLATION METHODS ADAPTED TO THE SITE (ERP / PUBLIC SPACE)
From the first sketches, consultations or calls for tenders, we support creators, production partners and project owners in studying the project’s feasibility and proposing solutions: listening, advice and technical insight to align artistic intent with budget and technical constraints.
This study phase provides a solid foundation by proposing clear, reliable and durable solutions: defining the brief, first technical options, cost estimates and schedules that respect the creator’s vision while securing feasibility, durability and future maintenance of the artwork.
Artistic engineering, technical design and feasibility: we structure the project from the earliest stages to ensure coherence, clarity and precision.
We move forward step by step, explaining our choices, documenting options and preparing the next phases of the project: consultation, fabrication, installation. We also develop the technical design (structural and assembly principles, 3D/parametric modelling, preliminary sizing, mock-ups, samples and prototypes) to test forms, textures, colours and fixing methods.
The study continues into the execution phase, in ongoing dialogue between the design team, the workshop and the creators: we produce execution drawings and digital fabrication files, and, together with our partner engineering offices, the calculation notes and technical justifications required. This continuity makes it possible to adjust, when needed, the technical solutions over the course of exchanges and the artist’s choices, as the artwork takes shape.
Possible deliverables
Technical specification brief, 3D modelling / exploded views, pre-sizing, technical hypotheses & recommendations, concept plans, models & material samples, feasibility notes, technical recommendation report for client / project management.
