Cyrille Berger is an architect and Laurent P. Berger is a visual artist. They have collaborated together since 2006 on architectural projects under the name Berger&Berger. They offer open-ended layout that may be freely interpreted and are not designed to meet preordained functions, but which tend rather to invent uses for themselves. They are presently preparing Blinder Berg, a temporary opera house for the Opera Festival in Munich, Notus loci, an extension of the Centre International d’Art et du Paysage in Vassivière and Une île paradisiaque est un spectacle artificiel at CentQuatre (Etablissement artistique de la ville de Paris). In January 2008, their project for the Venice Lagoon Park, designed in association with BuildingBuilding, won them the International Ideas Competition organized by the architectural review 2G. In March 2008 Berger&Berger were winners of the Nouveaux Albums des Jeunes Architectes, a prize awarded by the French Ministry of Culture.
