Annuel Optimiste d’Architecture 2011

French Touch

In 2012, the Optimistic Annual of Architecture celebrates its fifth anniversary. Five years already…

It was in 2007 that we launched this collection, and each year, we have chosen around sixty remarkable projects completed in France: a total of 292 projects by 132 architects. All of this is starting to build momentum and take on meaning.

By selecting these projects, our goal was to gradually create a library of projects as various architectural approaches, which would reveal recurring traits, new design trends, and allow us to assess the constants, evolutions, and movements within the small world of French architecture. Another key aim was to highlight emerging talents and prepare the next generation.Verum ad istam omnem orationem brevis est defensio. Nam quoad aetas M. Caeli dare potuit isti suspicioni locum, fuit primum ipsius pudore, deinde etiam patris diligentia disciplinaque munita. Qui ut huic virilem togam deditšnihil dicam hoc loco de me; tantum sit, quantum vos existimatis; hoc dicam, hunc a patre continuo ad me esse deductum; nemo hunc M. Caelium in illo aetatis flore vidit nisi aut cum patre aut mecum aut in M. Crassi castissima domo, cum artibus honestissimis erudiretur.
