It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Pascal Riffaud, a talented architect and professor at the École supérieure des beaux-arts in Angers.
Architect graduated by the government at the Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Nantes in 1997, Pascal Riffaud was one of the founding members of the agency BLOCK ARCHITECTS. He was a laureate of the 2002 session of the Albums des jeunes architectes et paysagistes (AJAP) and had presented his work at the International Biennial of Architecture in Venice 2008.
Its investment in experimental and research fields linking architecture and arts, especially music, as well as his professionalism have marked his singular commitment to discipline as evidenced by the many tributes that accompanied his untimely passing away at the age of 48.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
