Valode & Pistre Architects

"Valode & Pistre architects is an international architectural design firm having expertise as well in the fields of urban design, interior design and engineer services. Founded in 1980 by the current managing partners and long time friends, Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, the firm entered upon a new phase of its career in 1992, when the architects received the Equerre d'argent prize of the journal Le Moniteur for the L'Oreal corporate headquarters outside Paris. Their predominantly large-scale projects are distinguished by their high degree of diversity. For some years, Valode & Pistre have not only been practicing in France, their native country, but also in Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Russia, Mexico, China, and elsewhere." "The firm's philosophy is built around progressively acquired principles distilled from specific project experience. For Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, an architectural project is a social act for both client and user, an act based upon original research and reflection, an act of creation in response to a specific program and site."--BOOK JACKET.
