Dominique Perrault : Inspiration and Process in architecture
Moleskine SpA 
Edited by Francesca Serrazanetti, Matteo Schubert 
Texts by Rafaël Magrou, Gilles de Bure 
Interview with Dominique Perrault
 Dominique Perrault's "notebook" shows a collection of materials realized
 by the DPA office on the occasion of two international competitions for
 museum buildings. An opportunity to demonstrate how even unrealized 
projects are a great opportunity for experimentation, these courses of 
research are told through sketches, models, notes and diagrams. The 
books' structure - as in the whole Inspiration and Process in 
Architecture series - is organized in two sections: "Writings", which 
include critical essays and an interview with the architect, and 
"Drawings", which include images taken from personal notebooks and 
design materials specially extracted from their drawers, made with all 
kinds of artistic media, mostly manual, but not excluding a few forays 
into digital.
