See also: Perrault
Dominique Perrault , born in 1953, is a French Architecte and town planner. It acquired very young person an international repute by gaining the contest of the Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand of Paris in 1989, then that of the Cycle-racing track and the Olympic Swimming pool in Berlin in 1992.
Among the great projects in progress, one counts the Court of justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg, the Olympic center of tennis in Madrid, the University campus of female university EWHA in Seoul, and two scrapes-ciels in the new district of businesses of Vienna.
But Dominique Perrault also likes himself to explore the nonmonumental projects, on varied scales, by different programs, in various sites. Thus, in Kolonihaven in Denmark, by posing a fence of glass around a tree, he questions the territory and nature; in Zirl and Wattens in Austria, it builds two small supermarkets for Mpreis; and today, the small house of the park Priory Park in Reigate close to London east in building site.
The architecture of Dominique Perrault " reveal the vacuum, the distance, silence, the secret" (Brigitte David in Dominique Perrault , Selected Pieces , Direction & Tonka, 2002). For him, " what is interesting is to create places not bâtiments" , and with this intention, it gives the illusion of the disappearance of architecture through plays of lights and shades, of dematerialization, enigmas.
