Anne-Cecile Comar An Architectural Evolution

Anne-Cecile Comar is partner at the firm Atelier du Pont, along with Philippe Croisier. The firm employs 30 staff members from all kinds of backgrounds. Atelier du Pont is also a founding member of the architecture collective, Plan01 with which they created the eco design engineering office, Plan02, in 2008. Atelier du Pont is a multi-polar agency that combines public and private projects, architecture and town-planning, interiors and exteriors. These experiences have given the agency the opportunity to operate in a variety of occasionally difficult contexts and sites.

The history of our world paints varying pictures of challenges that humanity assumed and overcame. Revolutions were undertaken and civil wars were fought to affect drastic changes. Today the challenges of our time are different from those of the past, but essentially the climate of the world remains one of turmoil. From the wars in the East to growing expressions of nationalism in the Western countries, from decreasing tolerance and liberalism amongst the world population to challenges of global climate change, the world of today is not at rest, it paints a confused and perhaps, a gloomy picture for our immediate future.

It is against this scenario that Anne-Cecile Comar expressed, “There is not much to be optimistic about, but we still believe that we can do an act collectively.”
