A new relationship with procurement

Engineer and architect, Jacques Ferrier has created many public infrastructures, cultural buildings, offices, university buildings, often by way of public and private procurement. For the past few years, he has focused on conducting his practice in parallel with his research activities, as can be seen in his “Concept Office” and “Hypergreen” projects. In a world where sustainable development has become one of today’s major challenges for our societies, architecture must adapt to these changes. Jacques Ferrier is a French architect and urban planner.  Philippe Chiambaretta graduated from the École des Ponts et Chaussées of Paris and MIT in Boston.
