CSR : PROJECTS INDIA & CAMBODIA AN ETHICAL COMMITMENT
The Easyraideuses run twice in the name of L’Architecture Communicante in Ranakpur, India and in Cambodia.
Easyraideuses is a 100% feminine project which allows women to meet population around the world, practise running and leave a mark of their passage through humanitarian actions for children.
The participants recolted and brought many clothes, toys, that were distributed in different schools, establishments, orphanages and dispensaries.
But this trip also allows to pay for bikes for students who live more than an hour away from their school, but also pays for tables and stools for a class in the countryside. All these purchases have been made in India and Cambodia to promote local markets.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
“For several years now, our projects have been carried out with a constant concern for the protection of the environment: the coverings used are made from recycled and recyclable products, the partitions are made from particle board with natural binders from European eco-managed forests, the visuals are printed with solvent-free inks and the lighting sources used are very low consumption.
The teams are formed according to the needs and the location. We use local service providers in order to minimise the CO2 footprint and to promote the local economy.
For events and exhibition stands, we design the spaces so that they can be stored and reused, according to your request. Today, in addition to our first steps of recycling, use of eco-friendly products, reuse, bio-sourcing, preference for short networks + local production label, we wish to go even further in these steps: we are on the way to the ISO 20121 certification.
ISO20121 is the international standard for sustainable event management. It is used by exhibitors, advertisers, organizers and service providers, and is designed to improve the quality of events, while maximizing their contribution to sustainable development.
Aim : Learn to identify how to reduce waste and carbon emissions, design stakeholder management programmes, set targets and manage the potential of supply chains.
For whom: CSR managers, as well as procurement professionals in charge of planning or running events.”
The duo of leaders
Thibaut Vitasse
Head Designer of l’Architecture Communicante
Thibaut has always been passionate about architecture, art and design, and fell into it at a very young age. Thibaut joined l’Ecole Boulle at the age of 16. At first to work with wood, his heartstrings. One by one, he climbed the ladder of the Parisian school to obtain a CAP (vocational training certificate) in chair carpentry, then the school’s Diplôme des Métiers D’Art, followed by a BTS (technical diploma) in visual expression, with the option of communication space. During this training, he took part in stand projects and designed his first stand for the KRONOSPAN brand at the 1994 BATIMAT trade fair. This was the opportunity to meet Jean-Louis Lureau, the creator of L’Architecture Communicante. To perfect his training, he continued his studies with a Higher Diploma of Applied Art specialising in furniture and product design. At the end of his studies, he became an assistant and then a manager of the design office for cardboard and metal PLV displays at Michel CASTILLON / CARTONNAGE GIL PARIS. After a few years of experience in the world of PLV, he returned to a more architectural world of the stand. He spent a few years working as an interim in well-known agencies, learning and gaining experience. He naturally joined Jean-Louis LUREAU in 2004, who was planning to retire, with the common goal of keeping L’Architecture Communicante alive. Thibaut will take over from Jean-Louis LUREAU in 2005.
Odile Vitasse
Director Designer of l’Architecture Communicante
Working with materials and spaces was also a vocation for Odile from an early age ! At the end of 9th grade (end of middle school in France), Odile joined l’Ecole Boulle to be trained in Arts and Crafts for 3 years. She first obtained the school’s Métiers d’Art diploma in the Tapestry/Decoration workshop, equivalent to the BAC. Then she continued for 2 years with a Diploma of Creation in Arts and Crafts. To this first course, she added a BTS in Advertising and Visual Merchandising from the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry, since renamed LA FABRIQUE. For 10 years, she worked in international structures, starting at CARREFOUR in the decoration department of the textile sector (merchandising, decoration and display). Then the magic happened and she joined the Visual Identity and Decoration Department of DISNEYLAND Paris. She managed, upstream and in the field, according to the seasons, collections and events, the visual merchandising and decoration of the shops in the 1st and 2nd parks, the village, the hotels and the golf course. In 2004, she took charge of the informatization of the merchandising plans for all the shops. In 2007, Odile joined Thibaut in the management of L’Architecture Communicante to put her skills at the service of the agency.
