D-ARCH, Chair of Alexandre Theriot
D-ARCH is a leading research and teaching institution dedicated to the advancement of architectural design at the building, urban, landscape and territorial scales. Architectural design is fundamentally holistic in that it utilises a broad epistemological and technical apparatus to give shape to cultural, ecological, environmental, social and economic needs. And, by constitution, architectural design is concerned both with the analysis of the past and the making of the future at every scale, from the local to the global.
