Mr. Thierry Melot graduated from the Central School of Fine Arts in Paris in 1970. He is an exporter of architectural design and urban planning concepts in France, and his projects cover various aspects of architecture, neighborhoods, cities, and regions. The art and sculpture of Sub-Saharan Africa provided him with the initial inspiration and insight for his career. In his designs, Thierry Melot attempts to combine the fundamental principles of modernity with the identity-related requirements of the people in newly independent countries. As an architect, Thierry Melot has always sought to achieve a subtle balance between rationality with construction functions and expressiveness with sensitivity. After achieving significant academic and temporal accomplishments in Africa, he returned to France to participate in numerous European architectural and urban practices, continuously exporting French concepts to the Middle East and Asia-Pacific through the co-founded Afex (French Overseas Architects Association). His major representative works include: planning for the new capital of Senegal, renovation planning for the old town center of Lyon, renovation planning for the La Défense CBD, the Châtillon High School in France, urban design for the Hengqin New Area in Zhuhai, and architectural design for the urban complex in the Binhu New Area of Hefei.
