The architect
Born in Florence in 1937, holding a degree from the School of Architecture at Florence's University, Jean-Pierre Buffi arrives in Paris in 1964 and is hired by Jean Prouvé.
Following various jobs, especially at the Paris Urban Center, he completes his first major buidlings in the mid 1970s: the "Casa Lusena" in West Milan, the National School of Arts in Cergy-Pontoise (outskirts of Paris) and the French Cultural Institute in Lisbon, Portugal.
