Jacques Ferrier is one of the most popular and richest Architect who was born on February 16, 1959 in Limoux, Limoux, France. The Sensual City was the subject of a symposium organized at the Collège de France in September 2009. Internationally recognized personalities – architects, urban planners, scientists, philosophers, sociologists and artists – crossed their eyes on the theme of sensuality linked to architecture and city planning.
The Sensual City is a project that answers the urgent question of what urban planning should be both today and tomorrow. The urban culture developed in the 20th century is steadily expanding and over half the world’s population now lives in cities, a proportion that is continually increasing and causing functional problems on an unprecedented scale. It is a situation that threatens our planet’s resources, as well as the way we live together in cities. In the western world, there is a need to go beyond the traditional model of the historical urban model –European and American- , take a fresh look not only at the city core, but also at the suburbs, the infrastructure, the transportation systems… and accept that they represent a fully-fledged contemporary urban landscape. Throughout the world and on all continents, giant cities with over ten million inhabitants are taking form. In the 21st century, hundreds of millions of people will find themselves living in an exclusively urban environment, an artificial universe in which technology will be omnipresent.
Following his architectural training at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville and the École Centrale de Paris, he created his own architecture firm, Jacques Ferrier Architecture, in Paris in 1993. His portfolio of work includes cultural and leisure facilities (such as the France Pavilion for Expo 2010 Shanghai and water park Aqualagon in Villages Nature Paris), showcase buildings (such as the head office of Champagnes Piper & Charles Heidsieck in Reims, the head office of publishers Hachette Livre in Vanves near Paris and the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse), public buildings (notably the Collège de France in Paris, the headquarters of Métropole Rouen Normandie and the French International School of Beijing).
Jacques Ferrier is the author of a number of works and articles on the subject of architecture. His architectural work has been the subject of many publications, especially The Architecture of Jacques Ferrier (Thames&Hudson, London. He has been the recipient of a number of prizes and awards in France and abroad, including LEAF and BEX awards in London, Architizer A+Award in New-York, and Highly Commended mention at the WAF 2016 in Berlin.
