WRITTEN IN FRENCH
Winner of the Grand Prix national de l'architecture in 2022, Philippe Prost has been developing with his studio, for almost thirty years, an architectural reflection based on the close links between memory and creation. Passionate about military architecture, he began with interventions on the citadel of Belle-Île-en-Mer (1992-2006), built by Vauban.
Transformation is at the heart of his approach which combines contemporary work, research and teaching. By choosing as its line "no creation without memory", his Studio works on all scales across the ages, from the medieval period with the castle of Caen (2020-2025) to the Trente Glorieuses with the Vauban port of Antibes revisited by Guillaume Gillet (2016-2025) via the Grand Siècle with the Hôtel de la Monnaie (2009-2017), the stables of the castle of Versailles (2023-2026). And when the challenge is to confront contemporary history, he designs the Ring of Memory at Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (2011-2014) in the landscape of the plains of Artois, an elliptical monument which brings together 600,000 names fallen on the field of honour.
Exhibition at la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine from 18 October 2024 to 23 March 2025.
