Guillaume Claudel

I enrolled on the Master’s in Wood, Construction and Architecture at ENSTIB after doing a Master’s in civil engineering at the Vandoeuvre Faculty of Science (University of Lorraine). Before that, from 2007 to 2009, I was a carpentry apprentice with the Compagnons du Devoir, then I did a preparatory class for Maths, Physics and Engineering Science. I got a job right away, in the company I did my internship in, CALQ agency in Paris, and I’m still there.
The ENSTIB course corresponded perfectly to my professional plans, as there’s a close collaboration between architects and engineers. This is precisely what I do today as a site supervisor for an architect’s agency. Project management is like being a conductor: I make sure the different parties talk to each so that work on the site can go ahead properly – like musicians playing together.
Some of my best memories of my time at ENSTIB are projects in the hall: Felix’s pedal-canoe, the customised van the technical degree in furniture students made – all night till dawn the day before I left…
