Dominique Perrault on the French National Library: \u201cThe modern movement always had a very Puritan relationship with the earth. In my project, the idea of the natural level of the earth disappears, and the building blends with nature\u201d<\/p>

Famed contemporary architect Dominique Perrault has left an everlasting mark on the world of architecture and design. From his topological and stylistic inversion techniques, to his ability to replace predictably smooth modern surfaces with something closer to nature that is equally as graceful, Perrault\u2019s works have transformed urban spaces in cities around the world.<\/p>

Born in 1953 in Clermont-Ferrand France, Perrault went on to receive his bachelor\u2019s diploma from France\u2019s famed Ecole des Beaux-Arts and a further degree in Urbanism from the renowned Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees.<\/p>

Perrault vaulted into the global spotlight when he was selected by an international jury to design the French National Library in Paris in 1989. Henceforth, Perrault\u2019s life would never again be the same.<\/p>

Let\u2019s take a closer look at a few projects from the famed architect, including the Samsung C&T built\u00a0Ewha Woman\u2019s University<\/a>\u00a0campus project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201c<\/strong>A square for Paris \u2013 A Library for France,\u201d excerpt from the competition text.<\/p>

Being chosen as the architect to redesign the National Library of France gave Dominique Perrault the perfect opportunity to make an everlasting mark at the beginning of his now illustrious career.<\/p>

To facilitate the smooth convergence of old and new, Perrault put a modern-spin on the age-old Parisian tradition of grandiose public architecture by utilizing chainmail cladding in place of traditional smooth modern surfaces \u2013 a provocative play on the traditional role of great public architecture across Paris.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perrault placed a strong emphasis on the core of the library, which features an elevated esplanade above a tranquil sunken garden. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, the sunken garden offers visitors a space for thoughtful reflection and intellectual exploration; perhaps hinting that the center of human knowledge is nature, not man and his urbanism.<\/p>

Light often plays a central role in his work, and Perrault described his inspiration for light in the National Library of France project here:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Little did the world realize at the time, but Perrault\u2019s touch on the National Library of France would vault him to international recognition, and not long after, Samsung C&T had the pleasure of working with him in Seoul.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perrault set his sights on the Ewha Campus Complex (ECC) project after winning an International Design Competition in February 2004, beating out the likes of famed architect Zaha Hadid, who would later design the Samsung C&T built\u00a0Dongdaemun Design Plaza<\/a>, also in Seoul.<\/p>

In winning the project, Perrault also inherited several design challenges to bring the building to fruition, noting that when he won the competition, the university expected it to resemble a French landscape. To accomplish this seemingly impossible task, given the difficult terrain where the university is situated, Perrault had no option but to dig.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perrault\u2019s beautiful design carved out a chasm in the bedrock, creating a large yet peaceful space in the center of the campus for students to congregate and hold festivals and activities.<\/p>

Keen to ensure a sustainable future for the building, Perrault employed an efficient ventilation and heating\/cooling system that utilizes a low-tech convection current solution. Moreover, he created a 1m wide \u2018thermal labyrinth\u2019 between the soil and the building\u2019s exterior, ensuring that the underground space is cooler than the surface in summer while also warmer in the winter.<\/p>

Subterranean water from the soil is also utilized in the heating\/cooling system, as the pipes installed in the ceilings and walls take advantage of this valuable resource. The water is colder than the surface in summer and warmer than the surface in winter, adding efficiency to floors 1~4, which have this system installed.<\/p>

The famed architect also successfully juxtaposed the old 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century architecture with the modern space by incorporating old bricks into the roof of the new structure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To ensure that ECC maintained sufficient lighting and a comfortable atmosphere for students and visitors, Perrault designed the curtain walls \u2013 which are dug into the side of a mountain \u2013 to let in ample daylight and also provide some degree of natural ventilation.<\/p>

The curtain wall consists of glass and glossy, vertical stainless steel \u2018fins\u2019; this composition smartly reflects natural light throughout the entire day and from various angles, creating what Perrault referred to as a \u2018Waterfall of Lights.\u2019<\/p>

As with many of his projects, Perrault won praise for his ability to smoothly converge old with new, and maintain his emphasis on light, and the importance of the core of his work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For Tower one, \u201cThe idea was to create a very specific urban space with a piazza between the buildings,\u201d explained Perrault, continuing that \u201cWhile one face of the tower refers to the broken monolith, it is also meant to be a liquid fa\u00e7ade evoking the surface of the river.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cWith the second tower,\u201d noted Perrault, \u201cthey wil act as waterfalls on two sides of the public space and will be an amazing entrance gate for the district farther inland\u201d.<\/p>

The two mixed-use landmarks have reinvigorated Vienna\u2019s skyline, while also staying true to the Perrault\u2019s principles of architecture and design by respecting Vienna\u2019s rich architectural history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Originally built at the end of the 19th<\/sup>\u00a0century, the Louvre Post Office occupies a central location at the heart of France\u2019s capital. Despite its well-known fa\u00e7ade, the building owners have embarked upon an ambitious renovation project to modernize the facilities and turn the structure into a mixed-use municipal and commercial building.<\/p>

Perrault was appointed in 2012 to design the project after again winning a competition, and for this design, Perrault went back to the building\u2019s roots. In an effort to restore the historic openings of the building, Perrault will open the four corners of the building to better integrate with the fabric of the local neighborhood and its many pedestrians.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In typical Perrault fashion, the ground-floor will feature a large, centrally located and green courtyard, surrounded by restaurants, bars and other shops. Its rooftop will also feature a large green space with a pergola that will incorporate renewable energy to help the building meet its energy demands.<\/p>

Despite the massive overhaul of the building, it has been designed with a mind to stick to its origins, and amalgamate the modern spaces into the original aura of the old design and architecture. The building is slated to re-open in early 2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perrault\u2019s work seeks not to glorify a structure itself, but rather to explore the drama of emptiness and express the true meaning of the architecture and design. All three of Perrault\u2019s masterpieces detailed in this article express the key themes commonly found in his work: light, an emphasis on the core, and the convergence of old and new.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
