EXHIBITION PLACES AND CONNECTIONS

La Fenêtre, Art Center, offers a visual stroll through the significant places and connections of this adventure, illustrating various themes: material, light, landscape, inhabiting, rehabilitating, the common threads of the mastery of the work.

The Atelier was founded by Emmanuel NEBOUT in 1981 in Montpellier, three years after obtaining his degree. Joined in 1984 by Laurence Javal, his partner and wife, they have patiently forged their experience and expertise through attention to the relationships between "knowledge" and "doing" as much as to those granted "to things and people".

Thus, illuminated by the assessment of the "thirty glorious years", the Meadows report, the works of Henri Dumont, Pierre Sansot, and Edgar Morin, knowing-how and knowing-what have become, from the very beginning, the key words of the Atelier.

This stance brings together in the project, designers, intellectuals, and artists, cultivates complicities, establishes the transversality of collaborations, and reflects the academic training of Emmanuel and Laurence, DPLG architects, holders of DEA in Geography and Urban Sociology. It allows the Atelier to assert the social and cultural role of the architect and naturally involves them in environmental and territorial issues. It leads to addressing, in its situation, each program without preconceived notions, in order to anchor the project in its soil with precision.

Since its inception, the Atelier has accessed commissions through public competitions. It has thus delivered, in the greater south and beyond, numerous educational, sports, and cultural facilities, reflecting its consideration of environmental challenges, context, materials, and local know-how. It also engages in various public space development and urban renewal projects.

In practice, the Atelier brings together about ten architects of varying ages and skills, in its premises located in the historic center of Montpellier.
