Architects From Reims
An architect is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of buildings. To practice architecture means to provide services in connection with the design of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings that have human occupancy or use as their principal purpose. Etymologically, the term architect derives from the Latin , which derives from the Greek (''-'', chief + , builder), i.e., chief builder. The professional requirements for architects vary from location to location. An architect's decisions affect public safety, and thus the architect must undergo specialised training consisting of advanced education and a ''practicum'' (or internship) for practical experience to earn a license to practice architecture. Practical, technical, and academic requirements for becoming an architect vary by jurisdiction though the formal study of architecture in academic institutions has played a pivotal role in the development of the profession.

The architects organized an exhibition in March 1968 at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris called "Structures Gonflables". Stinco contributed the design for an inflatable mobile exhibition hall in which everyday things would be exhibited, drawing on the work of German structural engineer Frei Otto for the bubble-bas ...
