In the Proust’s short questionnaire style, AA questions architects about their profession, their projects, their vision of the future. Today, we meet the founders of the french office Studio Muoto, who will present their work at Le Pavillon de l’Arsenal during a lecture entitled An archaic modernity, on Wednesday, February 14th at 7 pm.
