Description

A generously illustrated monograph on the acclaimed French architect and engineer Marc Mimram whose original work is influenced by both disciplines. Since his debut as an architect and engineer with a footbridge over a highway in Toulouse, France, Marc Mimram has completed a large number of civil engineering structures and architectural projects in France and around the world. This book highlights Mimram’s distinctive penchant for connecting
architecture with the natural world, as well as his profound
understanding of the relationship between design and
structure. Looking at key themes in Mimram’s work over three
decades, this volume examines works such as the School of
Architecture in Strasbourg and the award-winning Hassan II
Bridge in Morocco to show how the architect’s elegant and
economical designs evolve from an appreciation of the natural
or urban landscape of each project.
