Overview

All of Perrault's major accomplishments are illustrated and discussed here including the Paris National Library, the Aplix Factory and the expansion underway of the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg. The acclaimed French architect Dominique Perrault erupted into the European architectural scene in the early 90s, winning the competition for the Paris National Library - and then the French National Prize for Architecture in 1996, followed by the Mies van der Rohe Prize in 1997. Perrault has developed a revolutionary design production balanced between a sophisticated rationalism and an elegant use of technology as seen in the Berlin Velodrome and in the Mediateque of Venissieux. This richly-illustrated and informative volume examines the complete work of Perrault and concludes with an interview with the French master. Moving from Perrault's early international projects, Maria Vittoria Capitanucci reviews his creative production, focusing her essay on the recent works and dividing these into thematic sections: Architecture and Contemporary Public Space - Five Projects, Boxes, Late Nineties - Competitions and Design Experiments, Urban renewal.
