Bernard Tschumi, an internationally renowned French-Swiss architect, is a major figure in recent history. He first earned his name as a creative thinker, questioning architecture through writing and language. His first reflections, such as the famous Manhattan Transcripts (1976-1981) and Joyce’s Garden (1976), focused on movement, time, and events. He combined them for the first time into a unique project: le Parc de la Villette (1982) in Paris. In 1988, his work was exhibited at the famous MoMA exhibition “Deconstructivism and Architecture”. His work goes beyond simple matters of style, and has gravitated for 40 years between teaching, theoretical writings, and architecture.

For his next project, A+ has encouraged him to address the topic of heritage. This notion echoes in his work through his father-son relationship with the modernist architect Jean Tschumi, as well as in a series of major projects such as the École du Fresnoy (1997), the Acropolis Museum in Athens (2009), and the Alesia Museum and Archeological Park (2012).
