An architect and urban planner, Dominique Perrault was commissioned in 1989 to build the Bibliothèque nationale de France, a building that is now part of the architectural history of the 20th century. He has completed many innovative, large-scale projects, including the velodrome and Olympic swimming pool in Berlin (1999), the Campus Complex Center at Ewha Women's University in Seoul (2008), the last two extensions to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg (2019), and is currently transforming the former air terminal at Les Invalides into the future museum-school of the Giacometti Foundation. Dominique Perrault sees architecture as a discipline intrinsically linked to urban planning, and has worked on the urban future of the Ile de la Cité in Paris, developed the Athletes' Village for the Paris 2024 Games, and is currently designing a major intermodal transit centre for the city of Seoul called Lightwalk. An honorary professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, he is also winner of the Praemium Imperiale prize and a member of the Institut.

Between 2024 and 2028, numerous projects designed by Dominique Perrault will be delivered in France and abroad: the Villejuif Gustave Roussy train station, the To Lyon tower in Lyon, the extension to the Esplanade-Coupole on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, the extension to the ‘Caja Magica’ for the Mutua Madird Open and several residential and office towers in Seoul.
