Jean-Philippe Poirée-Ville is an architect and landscape designer, following in the footsteps of Paul Virilio. He takes as concrete data the change in the world’s light, which is becoming electronic, and the acceleration of time, among other philosophical upheavals. In nature, he designs and builds an imaginary world of dialogue and respect for living things, based on a form of architectural calligraphy. In particular, he creates gardens in the sky with his invention, vegetated lianas.
His work has been exhibited at the Chaumont-sur-Loire garden festival, INRA, the Château de Versailles, the EDF Foundation, the city of Strasbourg... He collaborates as much with major architectural agencies as with artists of all disciplines, dancers, singers and film-makers.
