Agence Pierre-Louis Faloci
Paris, France

Pierre-Louis Faloci (Nice, 1949) lives and works in Paris, where in 1977 opened his own studio.
Since the project for the Museum of Celtic Civilization (Mont Beuvray, 1995), he has concentrated mainly on the design of museums and exhibition spaces that enhance pre-existing features as well as the natural landscape.
Some examples are the Art and History Museum (Rochefort, 2007), the conversion of the chapel of the Rodin Museum into service facilities (Paris, 2007) and his most important work, the Centre Européen de Résistant Déporté e Musée KL-Natzweiler, a memorial built on the remains of the Nazi concentration camp of Struthof, in Alsace (2007-2008).
In the urban sphere, mention should be made of the requalification of the whole centre of Meudon-la-Forêt (2002), including the city hall, multimedia centre, exhibition spaces, police station and covered market, as the redesign of the main piazza and construction of a car park under it.
Faloci's work brings together the themes of architecture, landscape, urban planning and museography, interpreted according to a linguistic approach made up of vertical walls, extensive horizontal surfaces that become projecting or suspended slabs, sharp volumes and large glassed openings.
