Jacques Ferrier is an architect and urban planner.

Biography

Following his architectural training at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville and the École Centrale de Paris, Jacques Ferrier created his own architecture firm in Paris in 1993 and has since worked both in France and on the international stage. His portfolio of work includes cultural facilities (such as the French Pavilion for Expo 2010 Shanghai and the Sailing Museum in Lorient in Brittany), headquarters (such as the headquarters of Champagnes Piper-Heidsieck & Charles Heidsieck in Reims, the head quarters of publishers Hachette Livre in Vanves, near Paris and the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse), public buildings (notably the Collège de France in Paris, the Research Center of Humanities and Social Sciences in Nantes, the Beijing International French School) and research centres, as well as urban development projects that chime with the ethos and philosophy of the agency: to create architecture and cities that contribute to a sustainable society.

With projects such as Belle Méditerranée, Concept Office and Hypergreen, in partnership with famous industrials, Jacques Ferrier has also undertaken innovative research activities. His humanistic vision for tomorrow’s cities finds its full expression in the concept of the Sensual City – an urban proposal developed for the French Pavilion in Shanghai – which seeks to answer the question of what urban design and planning should today be, and which is to be continued through his mission as consultant for the design and architecture of the Grand Paris Express rapid transit. In 2010, Jacques Ferrier and Pauline Marchetti created, in collaboration with the philosopher Philippe Simay, the Sensual City Studio, a research laboratory devoted to a forward-looking, humanistic and sensitive approach to the city and architecture.

Publications

Jacques Ferrier is the author of a number of works and articles on the subject of architecture. His architectural work has been the subject of many publications in France and abroad.

Recognition

He has been made both a Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite and a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
