SYNOPSIS
This book offers a fresh perspective on the work of architect Dominique Perrault, best known for designing the Bibliothèque nationale de France, a major project commissioned by François Mitterrand.
READ MORE
Through a selection of smaller-scale projects — a restoration, a greenhouse, an exhibition stand, a metro station entrance, a residential building, and even his own home — the book explores a more intimate aspect of his work.
This diversity of typologies provides the architect with an opportunity to reflect on issues of scale, form, space and materials, and to examine the notion of transparency and the conceptual complexity of contemporary architecture.
