Wednesday, April 6, 2022 - 5.30 pm
Barclay & Crousse is an architecture office founded in 1994 in Paris. Since 2006, the studio is based in Lima, Peru pursuing its activity in France with the Parisian studio Atelier Nord-Sud. Barclay & Crousse manages a wide range of programs and focuses both on the relationship to place and human well-being, through pertinence in usage and taking care of time, space, and light as central in our approach to architecture. The projects are considered as being part of a design laboratory that explores the bonds between landscape, climate and architecture, in order to challenge those notions of technology, usage, and quality of life that, from the specific conditions of developing countries, can inform and be pertinent in global context.
The transatlantic experience has been recognized by the 2018 Mies Crown Hall of the Americas Award and the first Oscar Niemeyer Prize, among other international awards. Their work has been acknowledged by the International Committee of Architectural Critics (CICA) with the 2013 Latin America Prize and the Peruvian Architecture National Prize in 2014 and 2018.
The office's projects have been exhibited and published worldwide. Three monographic books have been published: "Landscapes of Intimacy", by Arquine and IIT (2020), "Learning Landscapes" (2018) and "Segnali di Vita tra due Deserti" (2011) both by Italian editor Lettera Ventidue. Barclay & Crousse participated at the main exhibition at the 16th Venice Biennale, 2018.
