Office profileRoland Baldi Architects, based in Bolzano/South Tyrol, covers a broad spectrum of projects which vary in scale, context and function - from public and private buildings to commercial buildings, urban planning and interior design. Their architecture is characterised by a great sensitivity for context, functionality and a contemporary design language: simple but different. An essential aspect is to reduce architecture to its very essence and its most simple form, even for the most complex of tasks. The use of pure materials and colours as well as the consideration of local references, results in a clear, high-quality and timeless architecture. In all phases of the project, the office’s approach has as its centrality the user and their needs and expectations. Beyond project-related research and planning, the office participates actively, critically and reflectively in current debates on contemporary architecture, art and design.Some of the most important projects have been the Merano 2000 ropeway, the TechnoAlpin headquarters Bolzano, the Kindergarten Sluderno, the Civil protection centre Ritten, the Mobility centre Collalbo and many others. Many of the implemented projects have been awarded with national and international architecture awards and presented in reputable exhibitions (i.a. Biennale of Architecture São Paulo, Biennale of Architecture Venice, Premio Architettura Città di Oderzo, South Tyrolean Architecture Prize, best architects award, Iconic Awards, Premio Architetto dell'anno, Wood Architecture Prize).

Olivier Leclercq
Architect, urbanist
Vice President of the House of Architecture Ile de France.
I studied architecture at UCL in Tournai (Belgium), at TU Karlsruhe in Germany, and urban planning at ENSA Lille. In parallel, I learned photography at the House of Culture Tournai. In 1997, I worked in London and Warsaw for the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
I worked for two years in Abidjan as an architect, partly for humanitarian projects.
I live and work in the Paris region, associated with Cyrille Hanappe to form AIR architecture office in 2001. We realize mixed urban projects, innovative housing, public buildings and integrate co-design with inhabitants in all our projects.
Since 2016, I am also Secretary General of Actes & Cités, an association for slum clearance and refugee reception.
In parallel, I continue a research at Ecole d’Architecture de La Villette about the valorization of the land by the users expertise in operations of urban prefigurations.

My architectural approach is oriented in the structuring of the form.

Our design approach has followed a similar guideline whether we design a residence, a commercial space or an interior facility. The climatic parameters have always been the starting point. Our philosophy, especially in residential design (primarily in hot and humid Indian conditions), has increasingly been governed by improving the indoor comfort condition through natural means.
