Arthur Rosenblatt Memorial Lecture: Odile Decq
AIA New York l Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Pl, New York, NY 10012
The AIANY Cultural Facilities Committee presents its annual lecture on excellence in museum design, this year featuring Odile Decq of Studio Odile Decq.
Odile Decq is a French architect and urban planner. International renown came in 1990 with her first major commission: La Banque Populaire de l’Ouest in Rennes, France. Since then, she has been faithful to her fighting attitude while diversifying and radicalizing her research. Being awarded The Golden Lion of Architecture during the Venice Biennale in 1996 acknowledged her early and unusual career. Other than just a style, an attitude or a process, Odile Decq’s work materializes a complete universe that embraces urban planning, architecture, design and art. Her multidisciplinary approach was recently recognized with the Jane Drew Prize in 2016, and she was honored with Architizer’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 for her pioneering work, but also her engagement and contribution to the debate on architecture.
