As part of the FA Lecture Series of CEPT University, Faculty of Architecture is organizing a lecture on "Architecture Thinking” by Odile Decq-the lecture will be held on Wednesday, 9th November 2016 at Auditorium, CEPT University.

Odile Decq is a French architect and landscape designer. International renown came in 1990, with her first major commission: La Banque Populaire de l’Ouest in Rennes. Since then, Odile Decq has been faithful to her fighting attitude while diversifying and radicalising her research.

Her early and unusual career was acknowledged in 1996 by the Golden Lion of Architecture at the Venice Biennale. Other than just a style, an attitude or a process, Odile Decq’s work materialises a complete universe that embraces urban planning, architecture, design and art. Her multidisciplinary approach was recently recognised in 2016 with the Jane Drew Prize and with the Prix Femme Architecte in 2013.

Among her most recent projects there are: Le Cargo [Paris, 2016]; La tour Saint-Ange [France, 2015]; Fangshan Museum [Nanjing, 2015]; GL Events Headquarters [Lyon, 2014]; MACRO [Rome, 2010]; FRAC Bretagne [Rennes, 2012] and Phantom, Opera Garnier’s restaurant [Paris, 2011].

Odile Decq has been teaching architecture for the past 25 years, a commitment ratified by the opening in 2014 of her own school in Lyon, France.
