Description

HEC Paris's campus near Versailles has undergone significant transformation since its redesign in 2012. This book documents the evolution of the model, featuring one hundred illustrations and twenty newly commissioned photographs by award-winning French photographer Cyrille Weiner.

The project involved a careful balance between preservation and renovation, with architects Martin Duplantier and David Chipperfield overseeing the restoration of many existing buildings and designing an entirely new building and surrounding park. The result is a campus that reflects the school's global character and its focus on open communication and exchange.

Through essays and an interview with Martin Duplantier, the book explores the interplay between preservation and renovation, demonstrating how this exemplary contemporary redesign can serve as a model for similar planning projects.
