Christian de Portzamparc is a French architect. Born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1944 he studied at the École national supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
“Christian de Portzamparc’s new architecture is of our time, bound neither by classicism nor modernism. His expanded perceptions and ideas seek answers beyond mere style. It is a new architecture characterized by seeing buildings, their functions and the life within them, in new ways that require wide-ranging, but thoughtful exploration for unprecedented solutions.” Pritzker Architecture Prize Jury Citation 1994.
