| in 1991 mark goulthorpe established the decoi atelier to undertake a series of architectural competitions, largely theoretically based. these resulted in numerous accolades around the world, which quickly established a reputation for thoughtful and elegant design work suggestive of new possibilities for architecture and architectural praxis. significantly, such work was presented under the rubric decoi, which was intended to allow for possibility of collaborative practice, and which has latterly become essential to a digitally-networked creative enterprise. decoi has received awards from the royal academy in london, the french ministry of culture and the architectural league of new york, and has represented france at the venice biennale and the united nations. based in paris, decoi has developed a supple working practice to be able to bring its design skill to bear effectively in an international arena. |
