Paris Study Trip 2012

BA(Hons) Interior Architecture & Design students have enjoyed a week long trip to Paris; taking in a range of sites to include the newly refurbished Musee D’Orsay , Jean Nouvel designed Musee Quai de Branly, alongside world class patissiers, French bistros, roald dhal-esque chocolatiers and ice-skating in the Eiffel Tower.

We had the privilege to visit 2 key houses: both masterpieces of twentieth century design. Located an hour out of the city, students enjoyed exploring the weekend Villa Savoye designed by Le Corbusier but the highlight of our week was a guided tour of Pierre Chareau’s brilliant Maison De Verre,. Here, students enjoyed a compelling talk by architectural historian Mary Vaughan of Columbia University where the magical, interior world was brought to life. We returned inspired, informed and a few pounds heavier!
