Atelier des Enfants, Centre Pompidou Kids Workshop
Paris
"I wanted to give
children the immediate impression on entering the ?Ateliers' of
an area without limits or constraints. I wanted them to feel like
they were on a huge white sheet that needed to be filled. In all of
my first sketches, I had an image of a skate-park in my mind for
children-artists: an object-space which is experienced like a game. A
far cry from the school universe. Floors and walls blend into one
here and everything can be filled. Here, everything necessary to
create is accessible but nothing is visible. Here the areas are so
open that everything needs to be invented..." ML
