Lacaton & Vassal Compensates Nantes Architecture School for Construction Defects
Architecture firm Lacaton & Vassal has provided compensation to the Nantes School of Architecture (ENSA Nantes) for significant construction flaws in the building they designed. The structure, delivered in 2009, suffered from poor construction quality that led to serious malfunctions in the subsequent years. These issues included water infiltration, defective blinds, and deteriorated joinery. The compensation addresses the functional failures that emerged after the project's completion.
