CAHIER DE
CHARGE
" L'architecte est la personne qui
s'engage aupres de chacun, particulier ou collectivite, pour concevoir,
amenager, rehabiliter, transformer ou preserver les espaces publics
et prives. Faire appel a un architecte, c'est beneficier de l'imagination,
de l'experience et de la technicite d'un profesionnel competent, attentif
aux besoins de tous et capable de les concretiser. Son conseil est
la garantie que la vie dans nos maisons, nos immeubles, nos quartiers,
nos villes et nos paysages seront concu pour l'homme. L'architecte
est un acteur indispensable de notre cadre de vie.
Imaginez un pays ou les avions ne seront pas pilotes par de pilotes
de lignes. Imaginez un pays ou la sante publique se ferait sans les
medecins. Comment imaginer un pays sans penser a son architecture!
La premiere personne qui construit votre quotidien cest votre architecte."
