Kindergarten Elsa Triolet near Paris
- Julia Liese
How did your office receive the commission to plan the kindergarten? To build public facilities in France, architects need to participate in a competition. They are open without restriction and consist of two stages. In the first phase, a team and its different professional planners is assembled, which then submits an application that includes its reference projects. In the second phase, the design is completed within about two months and awarded – a different procedure than in Germany. We were lucky that we were one of the three selected offices that were allowed to submit a design.
