Eco-Design with Atelier21
Atelier21 has been conducting collaborative research since 2015 on inventions and patents related to the energy transition.
A true repository of knowledge and a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art energy technologies and practices, this retroprospective methodology addresses cross-cutting issues of knowledge and innovation.
As part of efforts to advance collaborative research in paleo-energy, Atelier21 is developing a prototype for the Museum of Renewable Energy in Paris.
It will be open to the public in the coming months so that it can welcome a diverse range of visitors, including international visitors.
The partnership with the Académie Charpentier aims to connect its students with the professional world, where needs and constraints are clearly identified.
Limited resources, the public interest, and the creation of the commons—that is, shared and open knowledge—are at the heart of the paleo-energy project and the project to create, develop, and design the museum/workshop.
- Analysis and understanding of existing technology museums focused on renewable energy,
- Competitive benchmark,
- Logo and graphic variations, from the website to the museum’s signage,
- Organization of spaces and traffic patterns in interior and exterior areas,
- General principles of implementation,
- Museum layout and design of display materials and furniture.
The project's constraints are environmental impacts, low costs, and the reproducibility of the system for the Arts et Métiers in Conakry.
There will be a particular focus on low-tech solutions. The project will be prototyped on-site with students, guided by the fab managers from Atelier21.
