| Summary: | Shortly after the end of World War II, the French State created an administration under the authority of the Ministry of Education, which undertook the construction of educational facilities for schoolchildren and students of all levels. Between 1950 and 1970, this administration (the DESUS for Direction de l’Équipement scolaire universitaire et sportif) commissioned numerous architects for the realisation of new educational buildings. Amongst them was Jean-Claude Dondel (1904-1989), who designed several schools throughout France. These buildings are all characterised by the desire to see the 1% devoted to artistic decoration properly integrated into the architecture. To understand the history of this collaboration between architects and artists, as well understanding the works of art from the outset of their creation, various sources can be used. The archives left by Jean-Claude Dondel’s are particularly useful for the exploration of this issue. |
