Bruther is a French architectural studio based in Paris. They are part of a generation of
European architects who started their practice within this rugged landscape. Stéphanie Bru and
Alexandre Theriot opened their office in 2007 at the very beginning of what capitalists call a
crisis and Marxists might define as new round of primitive accumulation and dispossession.
Having grown up and trained during the heyday of the French welfare state and inspired by the
optimism of the early European Union Bru and Theriot are well aware of the pressure that the
political shift to the right social inequality and insecurity about the future of Europe are
exerting on public institutions.
