LEADING ARCHITECTS: JEAN-MICHEL WILMOTTE

Jean-Michel Wilmotte and his collaborators are leading more than 100 projects in 27 different countries, from the biggest to the smallest, from the most spectacular to the most ordinary, with the same fervour from the initial sketch to completion. This practice has recently completed the Russian Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural Centre in Paris (France), the headquarters of L'Oreal Group in Clichy (France), the headquarters of Unilever group in Rueil-Malmaison (France), the Centre for Arts of the International School of Geneva (Switzerland), the Allees Richaud &Allees Foch high-end residential buildings in Versailles (France), the Cultural Centre of Daejeon (South Korea), the 36,200-seat Allianz Riviera Stadium in Nice (France), the London headquarters of Google and JCDecaux (United Kingdom), the Ferrari Sporting Management Centre (Formula 1) in Maranello (Italy), a Convention and Exhibition Centre in Sao Paulo (Brazil), and an ecological park in Baku (Azerbaijan) for the 2015 European Games. In these projects, which are both innovative and sustainable, the design always takes into account landscaping, lighting, materials, and finishes, while being respectful of the local and historic context of the site. This new title, as part of IMAGES' renowned Leading Architects Series, delves into the extraordinary work of this firm and the process of its innovative and creative team. Showcasing projects throughout the book with rich, full-colour images, detailed plans, and informative texts, this monograph is a must-have for any professional design collection.
