Complete Renovation of Room XX at the Palais des Nations in Geneva with Integration of a Major Artwork by Artist Miguel Barceló

This room has since been officially named the "Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Room" and hosts, among other events, meetings of the United Nations Human Rights Council.

To integrate a major artwork into this room, we undertook the following steps:

Conducted an assessment of the existing dome

Developed a preliminary technical and financial feasibility study

Performed a materials study in collaboration with the artist

Planned the tendering process, supervised, and oversaw the execution of the works
