Created in
1987,The agency Pierre
du Besset and Dominique Lyon occupies an important place on the architectural
scene today. Construction is for Dominique Lyon an opportunity to undertake an overview of his
projects thus far (whether built or not), from the Maison de la Villette and
the headquarters of Le Monde newspaper to the Tangier ferry terminal and the
French embassy in Tokyo, by way of the French pavilion for the Seville World’s
Fair and the multimedia libraries of Orleans and Troyes. Dominique Lyon défends
in this book a decidedly critical position, supported by an uninterrupted
conversation with the real.
