The Paris campus of the École Ducasse is designed by Arte Charpentier
French chef and entrepreneur Alain Ducasse, proud owner of 20 restaurants and 21 Michelin stars, recently inaugurated the Paris campus of his cooking school, École Ducasse, in the area of Meudon-la-Forêt. The design for the campus, which includes a restaurant, was cooked up by Parisian firm Arte Charpentier. It takes the form of a mix of four geometrically-shaped volumes, all covered by an irregular composite aluminium shell and joined together by a shared reinforced concrete base. At the heart of the four volumes - which are thematically split into earth, fire, air and water - lies a vast atrium which connects them together.

This immunity is acquired by the repetitive and progressively increasing intake of these harmful substances. The process of creating requires possibly a certain type of Architectural Mithridatism” —Clément Blanchet

“The design is kept to the simplest expression, the least technical, the least lyrical, in fact an almost primitive structural solution. The bridge is conceived not to be an event in the city but actually a place to promote the events in the city. From an overdose of formal gesticulation, I wanted to propose a robust ‘plateau' that would last and contribute to unify the right and left river banks ”, —Clément Blanchet, CBA
