Christian Biecher architecte

Origami, a playful world on the knife-edge of modernist precision and clear-cut folds; a world in which Christian Biecher has immersed himself with a single-mindedness not all that distant from obstinacy. His interest in folds can be seen in his renovation project for the Budapest stock exchange, the buildings he has designed in Prague, the Fauchon gourmet food shop in Paris and in Beijing, the proposal for a school complex in the form of a facetted shell and the reception building on Place des Fetes in Paris, the Nissen corner building in Kyoto, the white mesh inspired by a traditional kimono motif for Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong, or the Sora community centre in Shiki, in Japan.
