ODILE DECQ
Odile Decq set up her own office just after graduating from La Villette in 1978
and from Sciences Politiques Paris in Urban Planning in 1979. International
renown came quickly in 1990 with the Banque Populaire de l’Ouest in Rennes.
She was awarded with a Golden Lion in Venice in 1996.
After the MACRO in Rome, the Opera Garnier’s restaurant in Paris, the FRAC
Museum in Rennes she completed GL Events headquarters in Lyon.
Odile Decq’s work is a complete universe, including urban planning,
architecture, design products and art.
Recently Odile Decq was awarded the Woman in Architecture prize “Prix
Femme Architecte” and the “Médaille de Vermeil et d’Honneur“ from the
French Académie d’Architecture.
In addition to the studio, Odile Decq has been teaching since 1991. She has
been guest teacher in prestigious universities like Columbia in New York,
Bartlett in London, Kunstakademie in Vienna and Düsseldorf. In France
she taught at Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris from 1992 to 2007 and
was head of the school from 2007 to 2012. Her passion for teaching has
brought her in 2014 to create with Matteo Cainer the Confluence: Institute for
Innovation Creative Strategies in Architecture in Lyon which proposes « to
cross prospective and experimental visions, and to question and go beyond
implicit limits of architecture ».
