May 19th 2010: conference at the Cité de l’Architecture (Paris)
The aim of this conference was to present the actions of the Foundation
of Emergency Architects as well as to thank the private donors who help
us to carry out these projects.
Francis Rambert, director of the French Institute of Architecture was in
charge of the welcoming the guests and the introduction.
Running for the Foundation:
 On the 11th April 2010, a team of 7 students from the EDHEC business school rallied to the support of Emergency Architects, having decided to run the Paris marathon under the foundation’s name.
This race was a success on all levels because the whole team managed to finish the race with times which varied from 3h20 to 4h23 and this enabled them to collect 2,431 Euros thanks to the website aiderdonner.com.
Emergency Architects warmly thanks the sportsman for their support and their stamina!
