Franklin Azzi

He studied at the ESA École Spéciale d'Architecture, where he had a significant encounter with Paul Virilio, a French cultural theorist and urbanist.

He then completed other public projects, the restoration of the Alstom halls[2] in Nantes, which now hosts the school of the fr:École supérieure des beaux-arts de Nantes Métropole; the restructuring of the Mame Printing Houses[3] in Tours, a 1950 building by Bernard Zehrfuss and Jean Prouvé; the reconversion of the Tri Postal[4] and the Gare Saint-Sauveur[5] into two cultural centers, in Lille.

In 2013, he worked with the City of Paris on the redevelopment of the Banks of the Seine,[6] turning 2,5 kilometers of embankment into a pedestrian area.

[15] In September 2017, the Nouvelle AOM group won and revealed their rehabilitation project, focusing on redefining the visual identity of the Tower, but also on comfort and energetic performances issues.

Since then, he achieved many projects for Isabel Marant,[19] Christophe Lemaire,[13] John Galliano,[20] H&M[21] or Lacoste.
