Biography
Portzamparc was born in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in a family of Breton noble descent. and spent her youth there. She followed Frank Schaeffer’s painting atelier where she learned conceptual art. She went to France to complete her study of anthropology, urban sociology and urbanism and she fully committed herself to subject related to urban planning including : New towns, New towns,the Institute of Urban Planning and Development of the Ile-de-France Region, and managed an atelier for town planning in Antony, in the Paris urban district. She developed pioneer research on « The neighborhoods of Antony » and « The redevelopment of suburban neighborhoods » building at the center of her planning policy, the principle of « local life ».
After her admission at the « National list of aptitude for teaching Architecture », she taught at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture de Paris-Val de Seine between 1984 and 1988.
In 1987, Elizabeth de Portzamparc starts her own company and expands her expertise to other creative fields and other scales of architectural projects. The rigor in which she defines her work is found in the purity and the economy of her deign shapes, in the lightening of masses through the use of oblique lines, shifted volumes and tight curves. Her designs always express a strong relationship with the urban surroundings. Her dual design approach, both sociological and architectural, acquired through her various experiences ; combine the sociological, urban and economic requirements of a project with an optimal design. This association is exemplified in all of her projects.
Today, among other realization, major architectural projects have been launched: le Musee de la Romanite in Nimes, some project for cultural facilities, some building for hotels or houses in France, Brazil, Morocco, China and the United States.
Within her project and among the Grand Paris International Atelier, she is pursuing her research, conducted for the last 30 years, on the identity of towns, playing a fundamental role in the reflection and discussion of the metropolis construction. In the same context, she is conducting pioneer research for flexible, sustainable, mixed use or prefabricated housing.
