Marc Mimram Architecture & Associés and Marc Mimram Ingénierie undertake a wide range of architecture and engineering projects in Europe and beyond. The firm tackles all kinds of emblematic projects: bridges, infrastructures, offices and housing, cultural and educational facilities and sports facilities.
The firm’s designs have attracted much praise and won many awards including the Équerre d’Argent for the Solférino footbridge and Simonne-Mathieu tennis court and the Aga-Kahn Prize for the Hassan II Bridge in Rabat.
Established in 1992, the firm is located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris in converted workshops. In 2016, the architects and project managers Guillaume André and Martin Fougeras Lavergnolle went into partnership with Marc Mimram to ensure the continuity and growth of the practice. In 2021, Jacques Durst took over the bridge design unit, alongside Marc Mimram and his partners.
The team, made up of architects and engineers, is especially skilled at designing complex structures and envelopes whose development relies on mastery of both complementary disciplines. Whether it be for buildings, bridges or roofs, our structural work is designed to be both liberating and bold, providing optimum user comfort and helping to shape the identity of the city.
What sets the firm apart is thus its twofold expertise: that of architectural design that tells a story and conveys intentions relating to use, form and materials; and that of engineering and construction, where mastery of complex technical subjects is required. Here, the two come together to form a single approach, a single attitude serving each project.
Mimram Architecture et Ingénierie is committed to an environment-friendly approach based on calculations supplied by the engineering department and detailed research on the use and optimisation of resources. We explore how materials can be used together and complement one another, with frugality as a founding principle.
The way Marc Mimram Architecture et Ingénierie selects materials and designs spaces is intended to produce architecture that is sustainable, robust and reversible. The firm’s research into architecture and construction entails seeking optimal structures and developing prefabricated components and high-performance, fit-for-purpose envelopes that take full account of orientations, modes of use and climate conditions.
More generally, economy of materials and means, a reasoned approach to carbon footprints, intensifying modes of occupation and promoting mixed use, density and intensity are fundamental to any intervention affecting the city and the landscape. This is how we can “build the city on itself”, help to tame the urban landscape, and provide caring solutions for urban living.
