Morceaux Choisis
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Alliance Française de Singapour in Sarkies Road, Morceaux Choisis – Chosen Pieces showcases works by one of France’s most famous architects, Dominique PERRAULT. Morceaux Choisis displays ten projects, transmitting Perrault’s artistic values and process which consist sobriety, cleaness, and spatial approaches.
The award-winning architect designed the world famous National Library in France, where he was awarded the Mies van des Rohe Prize in 1997 and honourably, the façade of the Alliance Française right here in Singapore.
In addition, he gives numerous lectures and participates in juries and seminars. He also teaches at several universities, among them the E.T.H. in Zürich, Switzerland. Perrault is Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, member of the Architect Academy, honourable member of the German Association of Architects (BDA) and of the British Institute of Royal Architect.
Initiated in 2002 by Association Française d’Action Artistique (AFAA) and Direction de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine (DAPA) in France, this exhibition has been travelling through major cities in Europe and Singapore is its first stop in Asia.
Morceaux Choisis is supported by the AFAA, Ministère des Affaires Etrangères and French Embassy of Singapore.
This exhibition is also brought to you by ‘French Affair with Singapore’, a celebration of all things French from 12th October to 25th November in Singapore. The Alliance Française takes an active part in organising a number of cultural events during the festival.
