[[ARCHITECTURE]] [[Amar]] [[Buildings and [[Structures]]]] [[Engineering]] [[Forum]] [[Institute]] [[Nova]] [[studio]] [[wiki-architecture]] # Architecture-Studio Architecture-Studio is a French architecture firm known for the Seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, the Arab World Institute in Paris (together with Jean Nouvel), and the Notre-Dame-de-l'Arche-d'Alliance Church in Paris. Architecture-Studio has been developing over the years and has established an office in Shanghai, and CA'ASI in Venice, Italy. History Architecture-Studio was created in 1973 in Paris. After the 2001 Shanghai world exposition, Architecture-Studio began to grow in China. Philosophy Architecture-Studio defines architecture as "an art that is socially committed and engaged in the construction of mankind's living environment". Architecture-Studio's work is based on group culture, developing a real team work through a collective conception of Architecture; a will to go beyond individual interests in favour of dialogue and debate, thereby transforming all individual knowledge into collective creative potential. Architecture-Studio believes that this also involves being open to encounters that can alter the way of thinking or, at least, inflect it (a book, a film, a man, a mistake on a building site…). This approach is a key to the conception process; a process which is not linear but iterative, not static but dynamic, not only intellectual and abstract but organic and concrete. Associates Carried by this open-minded attitude, Architecture-Studio's team has progressively grown. Martin Robain, the founder, has been joined by: Rodo Tisnado (since 1976); Jean-François Bonne (since 1979); René-Henri Arnaud (since 1989); Alain Bretagnolle (since 1989); Laurent-Marc Fisher (since 1993); Marc Lehmann (since 1998); Roueida Ayache (since 2001); Gaspard Joly (since 2009); Marica Piot (since 2009); Mariano Efron (since 2009); Amar Sabeh El Leil (since 2009); Romain Boursier (since 2018); Widson Monteiro (since 2018) .
