Challenge

To read movement as a language, as a source of emotion, and to create living architecture that transforms the way we view our towns. Through street shows and urban renovation, the city is being reinvented, allowing the La Machine team to let their artistic imagination run wilde.

Solution

Set up a comprehensive and efficient digital chain, from a wooden 1:10 scale model and a 3D scan, all the way to the finishing touches before creation is showcased in the streets. SOLIDWORKS® by Dassault Systèmes is present at every step of a project development cycle.

Results

Enormous creations are made possible thanks to the functional scope of SOLIDWORKS and the 30 staff members in the design office.

It might seem difficult for a non-profit organization to have the same technological tools as industrial manufacturers do. That would have been the case if not for the initiative of VISIATIV. They listened to what we do and gave us access to SOLIDWORKS’ cutting-edge technologies.
