Architect and urban planner, Dominique Perrault gained an international recognition with the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This project marked the starting point of many other commissions, such as the velodrome and Olympic swimming pool in Berlin, the Ewha women’s university in Seoul, the athletes’ village for the Paris 2024 Games and the current transformation of the former Invalides air terminal into the future school-museum of the Giacometti Foundation.
Honorary professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, he is also the laureate of the Praemium Imperiale award and a member of the Institut.
