Lecture's IaaC - IaaC Lecture Series > Rudy Ricciotti

Rudy Ricciotti was born in 1952 in Algiers. He studied in Marseilles (degree in architecture) and Geneva (engineering degree) before opening his own architectural office in Bandol (Bouches-du-Rhône) in 1980. His early works are characterized by a radical, carefree approach, displaying a variety of forms and full of energy. Since the beginning of 1990s, Ricciotti has been influenced by the Arte Povera and his buildings have become more austere and functional, making use of minimalist and \"low-tech\" solutions. With the opening of the concert hall in Potsdam, and the construction of a footbridge in Seoul (\"Footbridge of Peace\", 2002), Ricciotti received international recognition. He won the National Grand Prize in Architecture in 2005. His current projects include the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, the Department of Islamic Art in Louvre Museum, the Rivesaltes Memorial, the Palace of Festivals in Venice…
