« A former ESDAC student in interior architecture, I now run my own interior architecture practice between Megève and Geneva.
My success is also, in part, theirs and that of the whole teaching team. I have had the chance to compare this programme with many other schools through the work-study students I meet from all over France. ESDAC is clearly among the most complete programmes: you are given every key you need to succeed professionally, and it is then up to each student to make serious use of them. The teaching staff are committed and expert, the curricula are in step with what the market expects, and the skills you gain make a career possible, including internationally, for motivated students.
I would recommend this school without hesitation, as much for its human dimension as for its professional quality. »
« Product design is a discipline I teach at ESDAC, where we set out to design everyday objects methodically, across every possible sector (sport, medical, luxury, craft, industrial production, and so on). What we really want to pass on to students is a passion and curiosity for making things, and the habit of thinking before putting an idea forward and then building it on solid foundations". " In this section we try to find the designer each student wants to become. »
« What is great about ESDAC is that the tutors are there to guide us in what we want to do. We steer our projects with our tutors, but the ideas come from us. It is a collective effort with our tutors, and that is what is wonderful about this school. Nicolas Robineau was my technical tutor; he always gave me the keys I needed so that I was never stuck with my ideas. That is also what we lack as students, having too little and too much to take on at once, so while we are still studying we can let go, open up the possibilities of a building and build up our knowledge, our technique and that drive to put a viable project in front of the assessment panel. It is a truly hands-on experience and I would wish it on every interior architecture or spatial design student. »
« My aim is to give students a concrete sense of what the profession expects. Professionals know precisely what they are looking for, and it is essential that students have that moment of realisation: understanding how to develop a project accurately and methodically.
I place great importance on dialogue, offering different approaches to broaden their skill set and open up as many perspectives as possible. The strength of our teaching also lies in the fact that most of our tutors are working professionals: we know in concrete terms where to guide them so that they become the designers they want to be. »
