For two decades, Bordeaux has been rapidly changing. Its historic heritage, refurbished and dusted, is now working along ambitious projects, both in terms of built volumes, architecture and societal experiments. The city can now pride itself on being both a historic city with classical architecture and urban planning, and an open-air construction site where all the current trends in urban design can be found.
Big names in contemporary architecture have built there: Richard Rogers, Jean Nouvel, Lacaton & Vassal, BIG, Herzog & de Meuron, Souto de Moura, Alexandre Chemetoff, MVRDV and soon OMA.
