Ecole Ducasse Paris

With 5,000 m 2 of space dedicated to taste, this new facility for teaching, transmitting and promoting French gastronomic know-how, embodies a large-scale project in an area of great potential in Greater Paris – Meudon-la-Foret – 10 km southwest of the capital. The building is inspired by nature. The office of Arte Charpentier designed a composition of architectural volumes articulated around four blocks, echoing the four elements – water, fire, earth and air – closely linked to the act of eating, and linked together by a void, the fifth element; a veritable double-height interior street that allows users to circulate fluidly and access the four distinct volumes.
