O autorze

Mark Goulthorpe created the dECOi atelier, based in Paris and Boston, in 1991. The practice’s design calibre was quickly established by winning entries in several international competitions and with awards from various cultural institutions around the world. His collaboration with engineering groups in Europe such as Arup and RFR in Paris extended to collaboration with Foster and Partners to offer creative technical input.
