Ideal Schol

The Ideal School exhibition brings together architectural and artistic approaches to explore different school forms across history and territories, and support active pedagogies for the future.

The Pavillon de l'Arsenal and Magasins Généraux are joining forces to present school models from Greater Paris and around the world, analyze their remarkable features and imagine other ways of envisioning the school. In association with architectural firm Atelier Senzu and a dozen artists, the exhibition will offer a spatial and sensitive experimentation of a school both dreamt and desirable, from a child's point of view.  Each artistic creation, nurtured upstream by encounters with local schoolchildren, will find an architectural response developed with Atelier Senzu. This ongoing dialogue between architecture, art and mediation will form the basis of a new educational imagination for the schools of today and tomorrow.

Opening: 25.6.2025, 6 pm
