Jerome Brunet Eric Saunier Architects

The recent work of French architects Jerome Brunet and Eric Saunier is extensively documented in this publication. Two of the most distinctive architects on the lively architectural scene in France are Jerome Brunet and Eric Saunier. Sophisticated, and refined by abstraction and minimal art, their architectural language is free from the vagaries of passing trends. Their designs have a distinctly urban feel even in projects for sites outside of the centre as with the Concert Hall and School of Music in Chalon-sur-Saone, or the recently completed rehabilitation clinic for children in Palavas-les-Flots, and thus they take a stand in the current debate about the town centre and the periphery. With their building for the Banque de France in Montpellier or the residential building near the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, they have confirmed their position at the apex of contextual architecture.
