Guillaume André

Partner, Principal Architect

 

Born in 1973, he graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Versailles. After a number of creations for private commissions and collaborations in the field of landscaping, notably alongside Pascal Cribier, he joined the Marc Mimram Agency in 2003. Also mentioned within the framework of Europan 8 on the Stavanger site in Norway, he was soon put in charge of major urban planning and architecture projects, becoming a Marc Mimram partner in 2016. Within the agency, his work has involved numerous building projects in both the submission and research phases. To cite a few examples: aquatic infrastructure, including those of Ulis and Morlaix; the headquarters of the Banque Postale, Lyon; the National Archives of Pierrefitte-sur-Seine; the Carreau des Halles, Paris; the extension of the French Open; the Stade de l’Arena 92; the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris; or the office building complex for Entrepôts Macdonald in Paris.

He contributed to the Conseil Scientifique de l’Atelier du Grand Paris alongside Yves Lion and François Leclercq, on metropolitan subjects pertaining to infrastructure. As an extension of his focus on infrastructure, he recently successively delivered the new TGV station, Montpellier Sud de France, and the “Panorama” housing complex, a bridge-building spanning railway tracks in the heart of the ZAC Seine Rive Gauche.

Currently in charge of ambitious operations such as the creation of the Vinci Headquarters in Nanterre alongside Jean-Paul Viguier & Associés and the construction of the Campus AgroParisTech on the Plateau de Saclay, he also helms some of the agency’s major projects and, in this capacity, recently contributed to the success of the consultations for the École de Design de Nantes and Hangar 105 in Rouen.

Fully engaged in the agency’s approach, associating engineering and architecture, with design placed in service to the project, to a particular perspective and specific style, he participates in the deployment of expertise and the transmission of knowledge within the agency and beyond, actively contributing to the development of the agency’s activity in favour of increasingly singular new projects.
