"Design X Design : Roundtable - The landscape of Pascal Cribier" at Alliance Francaise, 72, Lodhi Estate > 6:30pm on 29th September 2011
Time : 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Alliance Française de Delhi in association with the French Embassy in India and Studio IF will present one of France’s greatest landscape architects, Pascal Cribier, in the Design x Design forum.
French architecture is unparalleled in the world with its unique style leading to French architects being
solicited the world over for their talent, creativity and professionalism. One of their assets is a genuine
concern for urban development and an undeniable expertise in the subject. Sharing and exchanging ideas are
constants in the history of French culture and architecture.
Chaque lieu peut devenir le plus bel endroit du monde.
Every place in the world can become the most beautiful.

Born in 1953 in Normandy, landscape architect since 1982 when he discovered the universe of tree nurseries, Pascal is more often afield than in his atelier. Pascal Cribier studied at the University of Vincennes and moved on to studying fine arts at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts (ENSBA) in Paris prior to obtaining a degree in architecture in 1978. He soon discovered the world of plants and decided to become a landscape architect. Along with Louis Benech and François Roubaud, Cribier is responsible for the renovation of the Tuileries gardens and also created the garden of the Vivendi de Méry-sur-Oise and Ircam in Paris, Donjon de Vez in l’Oise and the parc des Hauteurs in Lyon. Besides, he conceived his own garden lab on the Normany cost where he has been engaged in frenzied activity for more than twenty years.
For Cribier, a garden is neither pastiche nor décor. He pays great attention to the formal and aesthetic aspects of a garden, invisible to the eyes of ramblers – issues of maintenance and upkeep, soil quality, water and light qualities and the potential of the space. From these constraints is born innovation and an adaption to an exacting environment. And if biodiversity is a land of plenty for the eyes and the senses, if the beauty of
nature subjugates, if the colours, odours and forms answer each other, this nature is questioning us.
