Confluence Institute For Innovation & Creative Strategies In Architecture, Lyon, France By Odile Decq, 2015
I resigned and I decided the same day as my resignation to establish a new school, because I said, OK, I didn't went too far away, too far, and I want to now go in what I believe. And so I worked with some friends from this former school for two years. We did a lot of meetings to establish a school of architecture, and at the very beginning we were thinking, I was also thinking, because I was really thinking about that, about establishing a school of architecture. But step by step, by reading, by travelling, going everywhere, having a lot of lectures everywhere in the world, as I do for twenty years, more than twenty years now, but discussing with people saying, OK, I want to establish a new school of architecture, and discussing with all the people around the world about that, I discovered that many people wanted to change and make evolving the studies in architecture. Many people were dreaming about that, but nobody did it. So I was thinking, I have to understand what is not so efficient today in studies in architecture.
