DESIGN AND ENGINEERING STUDIES & PRODUCTION

ATELIERS PUZZLE provides ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES for cultural and artistic projects.

 

From primary sketches to execution studies, we assist the creators at each step of their creation: site location, feasibility study, technical elaboration, and production phasing. Our team draws on its understanding of the artistic project and its context to find a reliable and appropriate technical solution.

Each creation is a unique prototype that requires a rigorous analysis of the regulatory framework, the different construction options, the on-site assembly constraints and an awareness of safety and durability issues.

 

ATELIERS PUZZLE also acts as an ART FABRICATOR with a specific construction insurance, which allows us to support our entrusted creation’s full realization.

 

Our team ensures the continuity and consistency of all the stages of the project: on-site surveys, technical design, structural studies and calculations, prototypes, workshop fabrication, transport logistics, set-up teams and site management. The artist and the client then have a single contact, who guarantees the fluidity of exchanges and the quality of the result.
