Even though his viaducts for the TGV Atlantic line and several innovative projects rapidly brought him national recognition, Jean-Yves Barrier managed to avoid involvement in fashions and trends. Barrier approaches each project with a fresh eye, and tries to come up with a powerful idea that is then expressed spontaneously in his sketches.
Attempting to pin down Jean-Yves Barrier and classify his work is a tricky, and perhaps not altogether useful, business, for his whole career has been conducted outside of established doctrines and architectural fashions. Painting and theatre were his first loves, and although he long flirted with architecture and urbanism, his finally going professional happened almost by accident. The unanticipated success of his first two buildings launched a career that has since proved rich and prolific.
