Author Description

This monograph collects, for the first time, the main architectural production since its creation in 2001 by the French studio ANMA, based in Paris and directed by Nicolas Michelin. With a work based mainly on architectural competitions won, this office has been positioned in the French landscape as an essential reference of the current architecture of the city, highlighting its transformation and urban renewal. The publication collects and develops 22 selected projects, among which the recently completed and brand new Ministry of Defense in Paris, works of urban restructuring and housing as the "Bassin à Flot" of Bordeaux or the rehabilitation of the National Library of Strasbourg stand out with its imposing staircase. Each work is approached on the basis of its "8 themes" explained in the prologue, and marks the repertoire of solutions and a unique way to approach a project whether it is a new plant, rehabilitation or urban planning. Bilingual edition: Spanish & English
