Open house, guided tour, workshop
It's often said that the hardest thing for an architect to do is to build his own house or office... During this exceptional open house, enter the studio home of Dominique Coulon & Associés, winners of the Grande Médaille d'Or d'Architecture 2022. Push open the doors of this 8-storey burnt-wood tower to follow an exhibition-parcours that lifts the veil on the construction site of possibilities, which began long before the machines. Go behind the scenes to discover a profession, an architecture and a vision.

Award
On Wednesday, 7 September 2022, the Académie d’Architecture presented its Prizes and Awards at a ceremony held at its premises in the Place des Vosges in Paris, in the presence of Minister for Culture Rima Abdul Malak. Thirty-one prizewinners, representing the architecture, creative trades and construction sector, received medals awarded by the Académie d’Architecture.
Each year, these Prizes and Awards reward a number of professionals in the sectors of both architecture - including teaching, research, and the rising generation of newly-qualified architects - and construction. This is an opportunity for the Académie d’Architecture to reward the people whose action and teaching raise the profile of architecture and town planning.
The 2022 Médaille d’Or of the Académie d’Architecture was awarded to architect Dominique Coulon, whose ceaseless quest for “the poetry of places and space” through multiple readings produces remarkable and profoundly sensitive work that features both singular research and a meticulous sense of detail.
The Médaille d’Honneur was awarded to architect Patrick Rubin for his commitment to the environmental concerns that have now become omnipresent.
This year’s jury, presided by Christiane Schmuckle-Mollard, convened to award twenty Prix d’Architecture and five Prix du Bâtiment et des Métiers d’Art [construction and creative trades]. Prizes were awarded to three young architects or town planners whose end-of-studies projects were of notable quality.
The Académie d’Architecture took the opportunity to express its warm thanks to its corporate sponsors, including the Ministry of Culture, the MAF, and the Order of Architects, for their trust and support.
