Client: Kaufman and Broad, France

Article Abstract:

Gensler and Associates Architects won the commission for the Atlantique Montparnasse lobby project thorugh a competition sponsored by Kaufman and Broad, France. Kaufman required a design that integrated spaciousness, light and color and had an impact on the public, which French designs lack. Gensler discovered that architecture was separated into design and construction in France and that contractors and subcontractors have greater participation in design-related work and decision-making. However, these posed no problems and design alterations to meet French standards were minimal.
