Manuelle Gautrand established her architectural practice in 1991, and has since produced a significant body of work. The firm spans a range of commission types, from domestic housing through to institutional, cultural, industrial and infrastructure projects. Sophistication of design, originality of intent and judicious choice of materials mark the work of Manuelle Gautrand Architects. The modern treatment of program, form and materials provides a refreshing excursion into the possibilities that a creative team of architects can achieve at the turn of the twenty-first century, and is all the more true given that many of the firm's projects have been realised on sites with historic fabrics. This NeoArchitects monograph examines seventeen remarkable projects, built and unbuilt, providing an insight into the workings of a modern European practice.
