« 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 course with many other schools through the work-study students I have met from all over France. ESDAC is clearly one of the most comprehensive programmes out there: you are given all the keys to succeed in the professional world, and it is then up to each person to make serious use of them. The teachers are committed and skilled, the syllabuses are in step with what the market expects, and the skills you gain open up a real career, including internationally, for motivated profiles.
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 try to design everyday objects methodically across every possible sector (sport, medical, luxury, craft, industrial production runs, and so on). What we really want to pass on to students is the passion and the curiosity of building, and of trying to think before putting an idea forward and then constructing it on solid foundations". " In this section we try to find the designer that students want to become. »
« What is great about ESDAC is that the teachers 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, and he always gave me the keys never to get stuck in my ideas. That is also what we lack as students, between having too little and taking on too much, so while we are still studying we can let go, open up the possibilities of the building and improve our knowledge, our technique and that urge to put a viable project before our examining panels. It is genuine hands-on experience and I wish it on every interior architecture or Design d'Espace student. »
« My aim is to give students a concrete picture of what the profession expects. Professionals know precisely what they are looking for, and it is essential that students have that moment of clarity: understanding how to develop a project accurately and in a structured way.
I place great importance on dialogue, offering different approaches to broaden their range of skills and open up as many opportunities as possible. The strength of our teaching also lies in the fact that most of our lecturers are working professionals: we know in practical terms where to guide students so they become the designers they want to be. »
