Professor at EPFL (CH), director and manager of his own office, Jo Taillieu plays many roles yet he is first and foremost an architect. After working with different international architecture firms, Jo Taillieu founded his eponymous office in 2004, which he has been leading since. The practice evolved in 2009 into a collaboration with Jan De Vylder and Inge Vinck, with whom he led the office architecten de vylder vinck taillieu (advvt) for a decade. In 2018, advvt won the Silver Lion for Promising Young Participant at the 16th Biennale of Venice and was one of the five finalists for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2019.
Next to the joint projects at architecten de vylder vinck taillieu, in 2019 the focus shifted back to its initial commitment, jo taillieu architecten (jta).
Knowledge of the practice, from conception to execution, is one of the strengths of the office. The genuine effort to execute a design and its realisation remains the fundamental concern. In this respect, jo taillieu architecten always strives for the ‘logic of construction’.
