12 12 LE LOUVRE SITE: Paris YEAR : 2016 Tactile Studio developed a complete tactile circuit including orientation plans for the recently renovated and fully renewed Pavillon d Horloge at the Louvre. 13 tactile stations offer detailed explanations to the various construction phases and modifications of the Louvre through time. The visitor will discover the building s architecture styles, from its beginnings as a royal fortress in the 13th century untill the last renovations in modern and contemporary time. Each tactile station first offers a global view of the Louvre in order to locate the part of a specific period that will then be shown along its specific architectural elements. A third zoom into detail explains decorative elements special to its time. Tactile Studio also translated various findings from archaeological excavations into tangible objects, like a helmet of King Henri III with his motto and his sign - the winged dear - inscriped.

25 25 FOUNDATION LOUIS VUITTON SITE: Neuilly Sur Seine YEAR: 2014 Interior: 3 tactile architecture models Exterior : 4 orientation plans and bas-reliefs The Louis Vuitton Foundation wished to have their museum building accessible to the great public - in particular to the visually impaired. The famous building by american architect Frank Gehry takes the form of a sailboat s sails inflated by wind. Among the many particularities of the architecture is the near impossibility to dissociate visually the exterior envelope of the building and its exterior volumes. Tactile Studio therefore conceived a tool for visitors to discover the building in a progressive manner: first, a model shows the building as a whole, then the building without its envelope of sails, and, finally, the building in transverse section. This project was realised in partnership with Mathilde Jolivet Martin, an accessibility consultant.

31 31 PAVILLON DES ARTS DE L ISLAM SITE : Paris YEAR : 2012 In 2012 the Louvre opened a new exhibition space, nestled between the restored facades of the Cour Visconti. Led by Rudy Ricciotti and Mario Bellini, the project was the museum s greatest architectural work since the Grand Louvre. The exhibition spaces provides an overview of artistic creation from the dawn of Islam in the 7th century to the early 19th century, encompassing architectural elements, stone and ivory objects, metalwork, glasswork, ceramics, textiles and carpets, manuscripts and so on. Tactile Studio realised nine tactile stations that were permanently installed juxtaposing the real artefacts and the tangible object with its explanations in Braille. This project gives a fine exemple of our aim to synthesize accessibility solutions into the scenographic realm of your exhibition in such a way that it comes up with an exciting staging.

39 39 LE GRAND THÉÂTRE DE BORDEAUX CLIENT: Opéra National de Bordeaux SITE: Bordeaux YEAR : 2011 The Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, by french architect Victor Louis ( ), was conceived as a temple of the Arts and Light, with a neo-classical facade. Tactile Studio was asked to develop a tactile model, offering a mediation tool for the blind and visually impaired. The model comes in a complete 3D version as well as in transverse section, offering an insight into the various dance halls, foyers, stairways, sceneries. One of the challenges in this project was the 3D modeling with only original drawings as templates to work from. Some rooms had to be newly interpreted from the drawings.

40 40 CHÂTEAU D AZAY-LE-RIDEAU CLIENT: RMN SITE: Azay-le-Rideau YEAR: 2014 The construction of the Château d Azay-le-Rideau, set on an island in the middle of the river Indre, started under the reign of Francis I of France in the 16th century. Its successive owners brought changes and renovations to the initial building, like a renaissance-style north façade, an english-style garden, a salon decorated in 19th-century style, a water mirror to the south façade completed in the 20th century Tactile Studio wished to explain this architectural complexity. First of all, a set of models show the castle in its environment, then the building itself, and finally zoom effects point out on the emblematic architectural elements of the castle s periods. The tactile station, in Corian and in acrylic resin, assembles the plan, a transverse section and a bas-relief. They help to understand the organisation of the central stairway, with the carved ceilings, the banister integrated in the wall and the different positions of the windows. The pediment in the Renaisse-style is extremely rich and detailed. We isolated four decorative elements, that repeatedly appear on the façade : the conch, the I of Francis I, a salamander and an ermine, reproduced at half-scale.

47 47 CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES SITE : Versailles YEAR: 2013 The Salle des États Généraux, the hall of Estates-General, where the National Assembly met in the 18th century, is the starting point for group visits, and also serves to the exhibition of the architectural model designed and made by Tactile Studio. The board is of 1.8 metres long and shows the architecture of the castle and his position in the park. The big architectural model provides a better understanding of the size, the proportions and the volumes of the building, of its positioning in the heart of the gardens and of the elements that constitute the façade, thanks to a set of backlighted relief images. The tactile plan explains in detail some architectural elements, typical for the different construction periods, such as the bas-relief of the brick façades from the reign of Louis XIII or these same elements in the neo-classical style built during the reign of Louis XIV.

50 50 ARÈNES DE NÎMES SITE: Nîmes YEAR : 2016 The arena of Nîmes, dating from Roman times, were reproduced as a tactile model of one metre diameter, with a sectional view detailing the bleachers plan. The goal was to make everybody understand the complex organisation of the construction and in particular its dual circulation system, allowing spectators to join one of the four zones of the bleachers. Twenty-four thousand people could attend performances and shows on the oval ring. Tactile Studio reproduced also the velum system, drawn from the exterior of the arena, used to protect visitors from the blazing sun.

55 55 MUSÉE DE L HOMME SITE : Paris YEAR : 2015 Engaging the senses for discovering a museum that is interesting not only to the blind but to all visitors. The museum choose to offer 21 stations along which one may discover the history of a family, representative model for the a human lifespan. A series of busts, from grandson to grandfather, explain the genetic heritage we inherit and with which comes physical ressemblence and signs of aging. The tactile discovery of the busts is helped by an audio comment; texts in Braille and in big letters add further information. Four tactile stations explain the development of the human skull. Others display (original) findings of the first tools used by men (sickle, arrows, lance), joined by an explication how to use correctly this tool. At the end of the exhibition a series of cartographs bring close the subject of globalisation and human migration in centuries.

63 63 MUSÉE DU QUAI BRANLY SITE: Paris YEAR : 2013 Three objects on altuglas were conceived to facilitate understanding of the museum building and its integration into the urban fabric. A site plan gives information about the immediate environment of the museum Quai Branly. An monochrome architectural model presents the building, its grass-covered façades and its garden. It allows particularly to understand that the form of the building itself embraces the space available between the surrounding buildings and at the same time fully respecting the urban planning and building standards. The location of the openings and of the windows was designed by taking into account those of the neighborhood. A last tactile display shows a sectional view of the building and reveals the differences of the levels and the layout of the rooms around the big central ramp.

66 66 MUSÉE COGNACQ-JAY SITE: Paris YEAR : 2015 With the exposition Thé, Café ou Chocolat? (2015) the museum Cognacq-Jay traced the beginning and the rapid success of cultivating «exotic» drinks among the nobel of 18th-century society. Our conceived objects mark the course of the exhibition. A tactile information sheet describes the canvases and engravings exhibited. Among the paintings translated into relief were plates from the 17th and 18th century that show porcelain dishes produced at the famous Sèvres manufactury. Our 3D reproductions were lacquered to evoke the cool surface of porcelan. The wooden handle remained the same in the tangible reproduction.

68 68 MUSÉE MAURICE DENIS, EXPOSITION TEMPORAIRE SITE: Paris YEAR: 2013 The museum Maurice Denis, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, organised in 2013 the exhibition The Universes of Georges Lacombe (Nov 13, 2012 Feb 17, 2013). Tactile Studio was chosen to realise a relief interpretation of three paintings and of one bust. In the course of the exhibition another two permanent tactile stations offered a multisensual access to the works displayed. The use of 3D Scan, modelling and digital editing offered the most accurate replica of a bust from Maurice Denis. A wooden sample gives an impression of the originally warm and sensitive material. The series of tactile painting explained the different approach to the subject wave by the contemporary artists Lacombe, Denis and Hokusaï. Thus, Lame Violette (1896/97) by Lacombe, Les bateaux roses (1893) and Kanagawa (ca. 1830) were newly interpreted. Information came also in audio files, carefully conceived in order to accompany the tactile lecture.

73 73 MUSÉE DES BEAUX-ARTS DE POITIERS SITE: Poitiers YEAR : 2015 The painting The Death of Hyacinthus was completed by french artist Jean Broc in It presently belongs in the collection of Poitiers and is often displayed at the Musée Sainte-Croix. The painting displays Apollo, recognizable by his red cape and lyre, cradling Hyacinth as he stumbles. Beside Apollo s feet is the discus which caused Hyacinth s death. The Zephyrus, or west wind, blows Apollo s cape. Around the figure s feet are scattered flowers. In the background is a small grouping of trees, and a body of water (either a lake or river) and a mountain. To interpret the work into a relief, the most important details were be to singled out. Thus, Hyacinthus and Apollo s bodies constitute the center of the painting, captured in a smoothly raised line drawing.this applied to other details like the gown, flying with the wind or the discuss, hardly visible in the original because of ageing processes.

76 76 MUSÉE D ART MODERNE SITE: Paris YEAR: 2014 The departement for cultural mediation of the Museum of Modern Art of the city of Paris was looking for new ways of access to the famous wall painting «The Danse» (1909) by french painter Henri Matisse. Tactile Studio invented a puzzle: The original composition displays in what seems a simple apparition various intertwined female bodies, dancing expressively in front of a geometrically-abstract background and forming a rhythmic wave. Matisse used a new technique in his preliminary studies when he cut the paper into pieces, colored those and the rearranged them. Tactile took this as exemple for the first puzzle, where visitors are invited to bring into position the different colors. The second puzzle brings the painting into relief. In the original some parts of the woman bodies were not finished but Tactile Studi decided to not follow for the better comprehension on the relief. Audio files commenting the work guide the visitor in his tactile play.

80 80 PANTHÉON CLIENT : Centre des Monuments Nationaux SITE: Paris YEAR: 2015 In 2015, France honoured four members of the French Resistance with a ceremony at the Pantheon mausoleum in Paris. Germaine Tillion, Genevieve de Gaulle-Anthonioz, Pierre Brossolette and Jean Zay were conducted into Phanteon, accompanied by the exhibition «A Life in Resistance» May 8, Jan. 10, 2016). Tactile Studio was asked to conceive the four portraits in form of raised line drawings in black and white and in the form of bas-reliefs of several centimeter height difference. An audio file accompanied the tactile lecture. For the medal-shaped bas-reliefs only pictures had served as a model. Today, the portraits still accompany the graves of the four heros.

85 85 MUSÉE DES CONFLUENCES SITE: Lyon YEAR : 2011 The Koban necropolis was discovered in the 16th century in the Caucasus and contains hundreds of individual graves, bounded by large slabs or rubble stones. One of these graves, the number 9, is exhibited in the collection of the Musée des Confluences in Lyon. For the exhibition Désirs d éternité (2010) the museum wished for a mediation device to the blind and visually impaired. Tactile Studio invented a multimedia solution, with audio guide, facsimiles and tactile images The desk (1,20 m long) is alluminated in the dark, which has an artistical effect while being helpful for the visual impaired readers. It shows the dead body in his particular position in the grave: On the side, in a crookedly posture. Two different levels of the relief guide the finger to understand which are parts of the body and wich are the surrounding objects in the grave, like a valuable bracelet that was given to the dead. For the audio guide, spoken by an actor in a husky, «murderous» voice, Tactile Studio even composed music that was inspired by the Iron Age.

88 88 TEMPLE DE MERCURE SITE : Puy-de-dôme YEAR : 2011 The relics of the temple for Mercury on top of the volcano Puy-de-Dôme close to Clermont-Ferrand are among the best known roman archeological sites in France. The visitor s information center explains findings from excavations in 1875 and in the beginning of the 20th century. Tactile Studio realised a figur of mercury as well as two tactile models of the ancient sanctuary. They serve to better comprehend the site - how it looked like originally and how it will look again after planned reconstruction work. A dotted path mirrors the perspective of the pilgram who climbs up to the temple. Different textures and colours differentiate the ancient remains and the planned reconstruction work. Plants and architecture also differentiate by colour.

92 92 MUSÉE DU QUAI BRANLY SITE : Paris YEAR : 2012 The tactile book (edition of 500) illustrates the museum collection s most famous oeuvres, accompanied by descriptions on CD. Tactile Studio delivered graphics that served as model for the blind embossing. In contrast to other exhibitionbound tactile graphic projects this book was conceived for private reading, at home, with time to discover and enjoy the beauty of each relief. We hope that readers will take their time to learn about the details of the museum s masterpieces. The blind embossing was handed out on paper of high quality to ensure the understanding of the rich details. Tactile Studio first produced the templates in bas-relief. They would then be handed over to the Atelier André (Paris), a specialist in the traditional craftmanship of blind embossing. Because of the subjects presented - disconnected from western conventional visual imaginary - we had to consider difficulties and missinterpretations. The tactile images were in parts simplified and with a zoom on particular details. Nonetheless the book is very complex and the audio file on CD guides the reading. Test results from blind and visual impaired readers were very positiv.

Le visiteur est invité à découvrir le tableau à l aide d un dispositif multisensoriel disposé sur une station face à l œuvre. Tactile Studio a pris le parti de centrer sa représentation tactile sur les personnages principaux, le peintre entouré d un modèle nu et d un enfant, puis sur les deux groupes qui entourent, à droite et à gauche, le chevalet de l artiste. Chaque ensemble est figuré par des reliefs différents. Les rayures du pantalon de Gustave Courbet, soulignés dans le commentaire audio, sont mises en valeur sur le tableau tactile. En clin d œil pour les visiteurs, la silhouette du personnage de Jeanne Duval, maîtresse de Baudelaire qui figurait sur une première version de «L atelier du peintre» et avait été ensuite effacée à la demande du poète, est imprimé sur la représentation tactile dans une texture à peine perceptible.

It is here that a sample of the collection is put together for better understanding. Tactile Studio was asked to conceive a tactile book for the blind and visually impaired visitors. In 2015 the Petite Galerie s exhibition «Founding Myths. From Hercules to Darth Vader» (Okt. 12, July 4, 2016) illustrated how artists around the world have reanimated old myths in painting, sculpture, cinema, music and more. The tactile book is sublte, gentle to touch and durable, thanks to tearproof material used.

110 110 MUSÉE DES BEAUX ARTS DE NANTES CLIENT : Musée des Beaux Arts de Nantes VILLE : Nantes ANNÉE : 2017 Ces reproductions de tableaux conservés au Musée des Beaux Arts de Nantes, ont été pensées et réalisées pour les visiteurs malvoyants. La mal-voyance se caractérise par la diversité de ses symptômes : altération de la vision centrale et / ou périphérique, par des taches lumineuses, des taches sombres, une vision floue ou encore une hypersensibilité lumineuse. Ces reproductions d œuvres à forts contrastes ont pour vocation de permettre à la personne malvoyante d apprécier l image sans éblouissement (la présentation sur tablette numérique permet aussi d adapter l intensité lumineuse), tout en détachant les éléments importants pour la compréhension de l œuvre. Cependant nous ne cherchons pas à réinventer l œuvre en détaillant des endroits qui sont volontairement laissés flous ou sombres par l artiste. Nous cherchons à traduire par la stylisation le sens global de l œuvre, en interprétant les couleurs et les traits pour la rendre lisible et générique. De fait, l ensemble de des reproductions trouvent une cohérence qui les rend facilement intelligibles pour les personnes atteintes de mal-voyance.

115 115 MUSÉE DU LOUVRE LENS SITE : Lens YEAR : 2014 ARCHITECT : Sanaa Discreet and elegantly, twelve orientation plans and tactile stations fit into the spirit of the museum s architecture. Only three stations were installed inside, the nine others guide the visitors through the museum s parc, explaining the allocation of the halls and the particular curves of the architecture in the Galerie du Temps. Conceived in PMMA with coulours in polurethan and embossement in resin, these tactile stations have excellent resistance qualities, being highly asthetically at the same time. The panoply of (discrete) coulours, help the visitor to distinguish the different parts of the building. The tactile plans were realised in partnership with the architects Sanaa from Japan and have been appreciated from all visitor groupes. A paper version of the plans followed some times later.

118 118 ORIENTATION PLAN «TO-GO» FOR SNCF STATION CLIENT : SNCF SITE : PARIS YEAR : The accessibility departement of the french railway company SNCF experimented the use of a handy tactile plan in several train stations in France. Tactile Studio worked on this project in collaboration with the Fédération des Aveugles de France and Michel Bris, honorary professor at the INS HEA. The team developed a system of tactile pictograms indicating sites within the station. Zooming in on particular elements offered the mental locating between station and the surroundings.

120 120 ROYAL FORTRESS OF CHINON SITE : Chinon YEAR : 2014 Visitors of the fortress terrain are greeted at the entrance by a tactile orientation plan, made entirely of the stone-like material Corian. The plan addresses both sighted and non-sighted visitors, explaining the site and architecture details. It was a particularly interesting task to manufacture the plan in multiple colours - using traditional techniques from the marquetry craft to work on the Corian. This material s resistance is similar to stone, containing 70% bauxite, aluminium oxide and acrylic resin. It is naturally antibacterial and therefore a valuable material for plans in use outside. It is a gentle material, soft to touch and intensely colourful. However it is hard to manufacture.

Tactile Studio invented an orientation plan that perfectly fits into this paradise of nature, calm and enough space for children to play. Fabricated in wood and plexiglas, the plan also offers an audio device that works only with a dynamo and a crank handle. The materials in use apply to ecological principles. Plants can rank along the wired table feets of untreated wood.

132 132 MUSÉE DU LOUVRE LENS SITE : Lens YEAR : 2014 The tactile booklet, conceived and edited by the Museum Louvre Lens tells us about the developement of writing in centuries. Beside new ways of access to knowledge this booklet wants to make the discovery of the exhibited objects more joyful and funny. Each object is translated into a tactile high-relief or gravure printing according to the form of the ancient writing: high-reliefs for egyptian hyroglyphes, gravure printing for greek and arabic texts for example. Next to this, a photograph displays the original. The reliefs underline the structure of the writing, the density and spaces between signs as well as traces of abrasion where the document was hold in hands for reading. The contrasts between high-relief and gravure printing highlights the difference between writings in letters and writings in images.

154 154 OFFICE NATIONAL DES FORÊTS SITE : Île-de-France YEAR : 2010/13 Over the course of several years, Tactile Studio realised 10 discovery trails for the senses in the forests of the Île-de-France and in Normandy. They offer information on flora and fauna, the hiking trails and the architecture of chateâus like the chateâu of Rambouillet. Playfully, plants, flowers or insects can be discovered at tactile stations, an audio devise lets you listen to birdsong. The boards were produced in PMMA, a perfect weather-proof material.

156 156 MUSEUM NATIONAL D HISTOIRE NATURELLE SITE : Paris YEAR : 2011 The first entier cycle of tactile stations that was entrusted to the expertise of Tactile Studio, this project had us realise tactile boards after illustrations from the INJA (Institut National des jeunes Aveugles). Innovative Material like Corian were used for the first time. In total, Tactile Studio handed over to the museum two tactile orientation plans, 13 boards accompanying the hyperrealistic sculptures, a play, a tactile globe, two big information boards and 4 other boards for explanations and indications. The globe with the different climatic zones of our earth particularly posed some intensive phases of reflexion on our designers since we had to find ways to make comprehensibles for the blind tactile land masses around a curve.

160 160 TOUR EIFFEL CLIENT : SEITE SITE : Paris YEAR : 2014 Tactile Studio participated in the renovation of the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, a project carried out by the architecture agency Moati-Rivière. Six monumental signs of 2.5 metres long were conceived and manufactured to describe all the work accomplished by the famed French engineer Gustave Eiffel : the numerous patents deposited, the locations of his other architectural works of art, the several copies of Gustave Eiffel s originals in the world. With over 12 million visitors per year, one of the major challenges of this project lied in the solidity of the tactiles stations.

Beyond its exterior envelope, corresponding to a private hotel of the 18th century, it was essential for us to underline the beauty of the interiors and the particularity of the half-levels. We invented a model that has removable levels, each floor being translated into a relief, with tactile inscriptions and contrasting colours, indications on stairways and doors. The model is very useful for the non-sighted and the sighted visitors alike, to better understand the structure of the building. Beautiful decorative elements like wall hangings were also translated into tactile images.

Nous avons été choisi en tant que mandataire d un groupement composé de Corinne Durand, mouliste, la société SNBR et l Office de la Pierre Dure (Florence, Italie). Le projet nous a permis de mettre en place une chaîne de production numérique afin de dupliquer les œuvres présentes dans le musée : scanner 3D des œuvres puis usinages numériques des masters. Ces derniers ont ensuite été moulés pour être tirés en résine chargée de marbre ou en bronze. Des dispositifs périphériques au œuvre permettaient de découvrir les outils et les méthodes des sculpteurs. Une attention particulière a été donnée sur les mobiliers et la signalétique tactile (braille et grands caractères). Nous avons travaillé, avec un immense plaisir, les chefs d œuvre de Houdon, un des plus grands sculpteurs classiques français, notamment sur le Voltaire Assis dont une des copies est à l Opéra Garnier. Nos œuvres ont côtoyé celles du Louvre, département des moulages. À terme, l exposition sera itinérante. Un projet réalisé avec Isabelle Raymondo, scénographe et le Bureau du Sérif.
