VIGUIER architecture urbanisme paysage

VIGUIER is an international architecture and city or street furniture for public as well as private purposes. The firm employs 150 people from 15 countries led by Jean-Paul Viguier. Many of their iconic works have gained international recognition, such as : the French pavilion at the Seville World Fair (1992), the France Télévisions headquarters (1998) – the first ever American modern art museum built by a French architect, the Maroc Telecom tower in Toulouse (2014)… These productions will soon be followed by Banque de France's fiduciary hub in La Courneuve an office tower in Casablanca, the IoT Valley in Toulouse. Placing the architect in a constant contextual movement, many of Jean-Paul Viguier's works are part of a reflection on the connection to ancient constructions such as: the Reims library (2002) facing the Notre-Dame de Reims cathedral, the Natural History Museum in Toulouse (2003) and more recently the Canadian Embassy in Paris and the remodeling of the flagship store of one of the most notorious French couture brand.
