TC CUADERNOS 136/137: Dominique Perrault. Architecture 2008-2018

For the second time, after the issue 77/78, Dominique Perrault, returns to form part of the monographs of TC Cuadernos with this double isue of more than 400 pages.

We present a selection of the most recent major works, some recently completed as the Palacio de Congresos de León and widely documented as always with photographs, drawings and details; realizations where it approaches hyperdensity and proximity as concepts that should be key for the city of the future.

A city that Dominique Perrault understands as a fabric with three dimensions where the subsoil becomes a fundamental issue capable of extracting the potential of the city that is below allowing a more intensive and rational use of space.

It also addresses the value of heritage and the need for its intervention as work material and claims the authenticity of materials such as concrete or metal, while incorporating solutions and technologies from the industrial field to architectural uses.

Recently awarded with the Praemium Imperiale of Japan, since he made the National Library of France National Library of France, Dominique Perrault has continued a career of important achievements as the Olympic Velodrome in Berlin, the expansion of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg , the Olympic Tennis Stadium in Madrid, the EWHA Women’s University in Seoul and the Fukoku Tower in Osaka. More than 700 projects devised of them have been carried out around 100, they turn it into one of the most outstanding studies of the French and European contemporary panorama.
