Jean-Louis Cohen
Jean-Louis Cohen was born in 1949 in Paris. Trained as an architect at the Unit Pdagogique n 6, in Paris, he took a Ph.D. in History at the cole des Hautes tudes en Sciences Sociales in 1985 and received an Habilitation diriger des recherches from the same institution in 1992. Since 1993 he holds the Sheldon H. Solow Chair for the History of Architecture at New York Universitys Institute of Fine Arts, where he teaches graduate and Ph.D. students. Jean-Louis Cohens research activity has been chiefly focused on Twentieth century architecture and urban design. He has studied in particular German and Soviet architectural cultures, colonial planning in North Africa and interpreted extensively Le Corbusiers work and Paris planning history. From 1997 to 2003, the French Minister of Culture appointed him to create the Cit de larchitecture, a museum, research and exhibition center opened in 2007 in the Paris Palais de Chaillot. During this period, he directed the Institut franais darchitecture and the Muse des Monuments Franais, the two main components of the Cit. He has been a curator for numerous exhibitions, including Paris-Moscou (1979) and the centennial show Laventure Le Corbusier (1987), both at the Centre Georges Pompidou. He has also conceived at the Canadian Center for Architecture Scenes of the World to Come (1995). Other exhibitions include 1997 Les Annes 30, at the Muse des Monuments Franais in Paris (1997), Casablanca, naissance dune ville moderne en sol africain, at th Fondation Electra (1999), Alger, paysage urbain et architecture, at the Institut franais darchitecture (2003) and The Lost Vanguard, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (2007).

The work of Katharina Knapkiewicz and Alexander Fickert is characterized by its absence of ideology and thus its relaxed treatment of the inheritance of modernist housing typologies. It is not the neutral domestic space that is being offered in their work, but a form of space that awakens the users undiscovered potential for inhabitation. At the centre of this work stands the imagination of a type of architectural space in which, similar to the English landscape garden, a balance is sought between the perception of the moving subject and a subtle and highly differentiated geometric order.

Tom Heatherwick
Heatherwicks approach to architecture is unusual, as on the one hand crafted materials are emphasized, while on the other hand prototyping and production processes are valued. Beyond this, Heatherwick evidently has the gift of enthusing people and the ability to use the various talents of his numerous collaborators to bring things to life. Thomas Heatherwick is an Honorary Fellow of the RIBA and a Senior Fellow at the Royal College of Art. He is the recipient of honorary doctorates from four British universities Sheffield Hallam, Brighton, Dundee and Manchester Metropolitan. He has won the Prince Philip Designers Prize and in 2006, was the youngest practitioner to be appointed a Royal Designer for Industry. He has served on numerous judging and advisory panels and has given lectures, tutorials and talks at the Bartlett School of Architecture, Londons Victoria and Albert Museum and Yale University.
