France
After he graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Bretagne in 2008, Jean-Benoît Vétillard was a project manager for several french and italian architectural practices: Block Architecture, Salottobuono, Projectiles, Atelier Ciguë and Berger&Berger.
In 2014 he founded Jean-Benoît Vétillard – Architecture. He has taken on different aspects of his work, from developing installations as well as on private projects and public facilities on a large-scale, openly mixing art, design, and architecture, without preconceived hierarchy.
He has been teaching at the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris (Atelier des Extrapolations Métropolitaines) and he is currently teaching the Representation and Visual Culture at the École de la Ville et des Territoires de Paris-Est.
He is the recipient of the Albums des Jeunes Architectes et Paysagistes 2018 award, a biennial competition organised by the French Ministry of Culture, which distinguishes young architects for the quality of their projects, the relevance of their architectural, urban and landscape proposals and the coherence of their approach.
In 2019, The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies have awarded Jean-Benoît Vétillard with the prestigious EUROPE 40 UNER 40 architecture and design award.
