Éric Lapierre of Eric Lapierre Architecture and Thomas Raynaud of BuildingBuilding belong to a new generation of architects that has returned to core questions of the discipline by reemphasizing the intellectual potency of form. They take up a traditional historical lineage that championed architecture's inherent autonomy — a break from decades of architectural discourse dominated by sociology and technology.
The presentation will be in English.
