Key projects by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal


Lacaton and Vassal met in the late 1970s at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux, before establishing their Paris-based studio, Lacaton & Vassal, in 1987.
The architects are best known for their positive attitude to renovation, describing demolition as an "act of violence", as well as their numerous social housing projects across France.
