Robert Jourdan (regional curator for Historic Monuments), Yves Cranga (curator), Christophe Curial (conservation officer) and Luc Albouy (architect from Bâtiments de France) also make scientific and technical contributions whenever an appraisal is needed for rehabilitation operations carried out on the site.

 

The Scientific Committee meets at least once a year to approve the work projected in the next period and to review that which has been accomplished. It first met in 2014 to approve the PSC (Projet Scientifique et Culturel), i.e. the blueprint for the transformation and restoration of the site, drawn up by Mediéval for Cap Moderne, the Conservatoire du Littoral and the town of Roquebrune Cap Martin.

 

The Le Corbusier Foundation constitutes a partner of prime importance. This Foundation coordinated the application for the inscription on Unesco’s List of World Heritage Sites of Le Corbusier’s Architectural Work.

 

Other scientists and architects have also made contributions. Among them we should mention the early contributions made by Claude Prelorenzo, Bruno Chiambretto, Pierre-Antoine Gatier, Bénédicte Gandini, Peter Adam, Nerte Fustier-Dautier, Monique Baillon, Jean-Michel Bossu and Eric de Backer.

We must also mention the contributions from university workshops such as that held in 2008-2009 with the participation of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, the Academy of Architecture of Mendrisio and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'architecture of Marseille. A further workshop with the students from University of Texas at Austin led to a reconstruction of the bedroom of E1027 exhibited in Austin, Texas and in Berlin.
