What’s up in Arles ?
Schools projects... for future professionals
The exhibition in the Chapel of the Trinitarian is only the visible part of a partnership which has been run for 10 years between the city of Arles, and the two superior school of architecture of France: in Strasbourg and in Paris-Belleville.
It aims at restituting to the inhabitants of Arles and to the tourists the work done on local sites by future architects who will probably deal with urban planning in a few years time.
10 boards are presenting the fictive “school” projects imagined on real places of Arles, which were enhanced or will be enhanced in the near future.
The exhibition is opened from April 25th to June 19th 2009. Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 am to 12:30pm and 2pm to 6:30 pm. Free entrance
