LAUNCH OF THE MONOGRAPHY “DOMINIQUE PERRAULT” BY GALLIMARD draft
Architecture creates empty spaces, time turns them into places, and people turn them into stories. New monograph by Dominique Perrault, architect of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, urban planner, artist, member of the Académie des beaux-arts, and winner of the Praemium Imperiale. Architecture and its representations abound in this work, whose generous iconography reads like an illustrated encyclopedia. It is about a thought process, an architecture that does not hide its attraction to contemporary art, through the medium of fiction: a series of sidesteps that lead to four chapters which, like reasoned concepts, establish attitudes and their consequences in architecture.
