SYNOPSIS
Dominique Perrault is fascinated by the interplay between built space and empty space. For him, architecture always involves taking into account the absence of structures. One of the fundamental ideas behind his design for the Bibliothèque nationale de France is therefore the positioning of the four large towers: they define a vast space consisting solely of air and sky.
EN SAVOIR PLUS
In today’s urban landscape, which leaves virtually no open spaces for people, Perrault seeks to restore this quality of life through his architecture. This catalogue from the Lucerne Architecture Gallery documents his urban planning projects for Caen, Nantes, Bordeaux, Tremblay and the port of Yokohama, as well as more recent projects.
