S7#28 🇺🇸🇬🇧 "Thinking About the City from the Ground Up"

Épisode de Com d'Archi par DEPONDT Anne-Charlotte · 12 mai 2026 · 13 min

Dear listeners, I’m very happy to share this English adaptation of my original French conversation with Dominique Perrault.

This shorter format offers an introduction to the architect’s trajectory, his reflections on public commissions, the concept of Groundscape, and the profound transformations currently reshaping architecture and cities.

Throughout the episode, Dominique Perrault describes architecture not as the production of isolated objects, but as a way of reading, understanding and transforming what already exists. A practice grounded in territory, critical thinking and the reality of the built world.

Rarely interviewed in such a personal and reflective register, he shares a dense, thoughtful and remarkably contemporary perspective on architecture, public space and political vision.

This text is read by Esther.

I hope you enjoy listening.
