Perrault found national reknown in the 1980’s when he won the competition to design the French Nation Library. His design for the library is breathtaking and illustrative of his immense capabilities. Even more-so, the library is an excellent representation of what seems to be his vision: designing modern architecture that always looks forward, and uses cutting edge technologies along with a desire to implement the surrounding areas into the design of the building and using geometric symmetry to draw the line of sight where he desires notice. Perrault has an ability to find a truly new way to look upon generic buildings. His company takes on challenging projects and plants its flag at the forefront of modern architecture.
