testimony
Mathilde, 29 years old
Graduate of Ponts et Chaussées« The Ergapolis challenge was my first inter-disciplinary exchange. With Architects, Engineers, Urbanists, and City planners, we had to define a common language to understand each other. It was an amazing experience, by challenging mutually our own knowledge and assumptions we developed together the best possible projects.»
