Dominique Perrault

This text is written by Ilka and Andreas Ruby. As the architect, Dominique Perrault describes it - "a meta-building is a structure that exceeds the customary dimensions of a building to encompass a landscape or a city, both physically and conceptually. A meta-building is to a conventional building rather what an art installation is to a painting...A meta-building transforms a place, without causing the original to disappear."
