Gaëlle Lauriot- Prévost and Dominique Perrault

Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost and Dominique Perrault
have been key figures in contemporary creation
since 1989. Gaëlle, an interior architect and
designer, joined Perrault’s agency, founded
in 1981, at the inception of the Bibliothèque
nationale de France project. Together, they have
crafted a unique architectural language defined
by innovative concepts like «groundscape,»
which refers to the architecture of underground
spaces, as well as technical advancements;
they were pioneers in the use of metal mesh in
architecture.
Over the past three decades, their collaboration
has led to the creation of iconic buildings,
including the major extension of the European
Court of Justice in Luxembourg, Ewha Women’s
University in Korea, the DC Tower in Austria, the
redesign of the Dufour Pavilion at the Château
de Versailles, and the rehabilitation of the Poste
du Louvre in Paris. For these projects, they
also designed lighting and furniture. Recently
included in the AD100 ranking, Gaëlle Lauriot-
Prévost and Dominique Perrault express their
architectural vision through furniture, objects,
and lighting, always ensuring that the boldness
of their designs serves a functional purpose.
