Past Present Future II: Odile Decq

Odile Decq founded Studio Odile Decq in Paris soon after graduating from college, without working for another architect. In the "Past" clip she recounts these early years, in the 1970s and 80s, when sexism was rampant in the profession. For "Present," she speaks about her workflow, how she detests repetition and embraces diversity of tasks from day to day. And thinking to the "Future," Decq hopes new generations will invent concepts and forms that architects today cannot envision. Watch the interviews below or on Itinerant Office's Vimeo page.
