Le village et Son Double offers a look at Dominique Perrault's experience as designer of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Village. Part lecture book, part urban planning manual, the book explores the transformation of a neighborhood into an integral part of Greater Paris, offering a profound reflection on contemporary urban design. This book is perfectly anchored in French and international current affairs. The book explores the vision of renowned French architect Dominique Perrault, who designed an Olympic and Paralympic village at the crossroads of concerns such as legacy, site reversibility and the relationship with the existing territory. He discusses the history of Olympic villages in recent decades, explains the choice of the Paris site, its past, the process of Paris' bid for the 2024 Games, Dominique Perrault's guiding concept for the design of the village, and the project's 12 ambitions. It is a window through which Greater Paris takes shape... Richly illustrated with photographs, graphics and plans, this book is aimed at designers and the general public alike. Its publication, a few months before the start of the Games, amplifies its impact by exploiting current events.

•An impressive rethinking of the core of Paris by star architect Dominique PerraultThe historical centre of Paris, the Ile de la Cité, is notably home to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital, Notre-Dame cathedral, Saint-Chapelle, the Palais de justice law court and the flower market. The core of Paris remains, however, largely unknown. In December 2015, Dominique Perrault, architect of the Bibliothèque nationale de France on the François-Mitterrand and the renovation of the Dufour Pavilion at the Château de Versailles, and Philippe Bélaval, president of the Centre des monuments nationaux, presented a reflection on rethinking the Ile de la Cité with a timeline of 2040. How can this Unesco World Heritage Site, abandoned by Parisians, be modernised and acquire a breath of life and mobility? With its rich collection of archival documents, engravings, maps and photographs, the book highlights the island's various renovation and redevelopment projects imagined throughout history, while questioning its current role. To integrate this exceptional site into the city of tomorrow, Dominique Perrault and Philippe Bélaval have imagined 35 proposals that give the island back a central place, notably thanks to the promotion of its exceptional heritage, a revamping of the circulation between its different centres of gravity and the development of its substrata and its foundations as well as its riverside paths.Text in English and French.

The ultimate monograph on the complete works of Dominique Perrault, the acclaimed architect of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Dominique Perrault was born in 1953 and has won several prizes for his architecture including the Mies van der Rohe Award for European Architecture in 1997. His work is often characterized by an unadorned austerity and transparency combined with the monumental. This can be seen in his Hotel Industriel Berlier and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris. Perrault's intention that the building, the surroundings and nature should form an enduring unity is revealed in his Velodrome and Olympic Swimming Pool in Berlin. The manner in which Perrault uses materials shows his masterly sense for their technical, optical, tactile and psychological qualities. This is the first comprehensive monograph on Dominique Perrault's work to date. It presents 30 buildings and projects in detail, using sketches, plans and photographs, most of which were especially taken for this book. This visual material is complemented by fascinating and informative texts. Each of Perrault's works is interpreted by a well-known international architect, architectural historian or architecture critic, making this a stimulating and invaluable book on Perrault's oeuvre.
