The work of this European architectural design firm is an important addition to The Images Publishing Group's Master Architects series. For the firm's founders and principals, Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, each project they embark on is a social act for both client and user, an act based upon original research and reflection, an act of creation in response to a specific program and site. This philosophy and the firm's exacting requirements for quality in design and construction have ensured that Valode & Pistre's work has been in constant demand around the world. This monograph (the first of the firm's work in the English language) bears testament to the firm's international renown, detailing major works that include commercial, retail, industrial and cultural projects.
