Patrick Berger on Architecture, Time, and Discretion

Berger has designed a Parisian building on Rue Quincampoix, a fine arts school in Rennes, a theater in Blois, and the public space of Parc Citroën. He elaborates on the invisibility of the Rue Quincampoix building, his proposal for a future École des beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris, and his choice of wood and copper for the Blois theater project.
