SYNOPSIS
At under 40, he was the architect behind the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the final of the ‘major projects’ initiated by François Mitterrand. Since then, with projects including the Olympic swimming pool and velodrome in Berlin, the Aplix factory near Nantes and the Mariinsky II in Saint Petersburg, Dominique Perrault – despite advocating the “disappearance of architecture” – has designed and built extensively all over the world.
READ MORE
A proponent of the ‘concept’ and well-versed in manifesto architecture, Perrault excels at playing with masks. In his work, appearance, disappearance, derealisation, dematerialisation, transitions and flashes of brilliance are the very fabric of architecture. An architecture made up of time, space, tension and energy, which this book sets out to decipher and reveal.
