During the last two decades Perrault has developed a complex architecture that is divided between the monumental image and the yearn to disappear within immediate surroundings; between Cartesian rigor and poetic emotion; and between geometric abstraction and the materiality of territory. This fitting tribute to the architect takes the form of a three part survey. The first, contains three essays exploring specific aspects of the architect’s oeuvre; the second, a survey of ten significant architectural works; and thirdly, another survey, this time of five different projects undertaken since 2000. Sympathetic in its approach, this survey is illustrated throughout with photographs, sketches and technical drawings
