IBOS VITART.: Architecture and the City. Works and Projects 1990-2013

Ibos-Vitart stands among the most amazing architecture offices in France and among the few who have gained a well followed reception internationally. Jean-Marc Ibos and Myrto Vitart have started their career working with Jean Nouvel, being in charge with some of his key projects. Soon after they left Nouvel, their first major work, the extension and remodeling of Lille Fine Art Museum, won the l'Equerre d'argent, a prestigious award in France. Their design is the result of a deliberately restrained attitude. It is rooted in their profound consciousness of the responsibility of the architect in society. Delivering lasting buildings that value and enrich a place while serving present and future users and inhabitants is their goal. This book documents 15 Projects extensively - designed by Ruedi Baur.
