Mathieu Mercuriali is an architect DPLG, urban planner, doctor of architecture from EPFL, full Professor of Architecture and Urban Design École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Val de Seine and researcher in the EVCAU and LIAT laboratories.
He has over twenty years’ experience as a project architect, design and construction project manager, in various internationally renowned architectural firms in France and the Netherlands (Patrick Berger and Jacques Anziutti, Nouvelle AOM, OMA, TVK). Since 2010, he has been a researcher and teacher at EPFL Lausanne, ENSA Paris-Malaquais, Versailles, Strasbourg and now ENSA Paris-Val-de-Seine.
He is particularly interested in large-scale projects, where infrastructure and urban planning meet and interact with their environments. Since his thesis, which led to the book Concevoir à grande échelle (Editions B42, 2018), his research has focused on the impact of infrastructure on living environments. He establishes a form of historical, theoretical and critical dialogue between the obsolescence of infrastructures and the resilience of living environments, taking in particular the figure of the horse as a mediator of the human-nature relationship.
