Many of their iconic works have gained international recognition, such as : the French pavilion at the Seville World Fair (1992), the France Télévisions headquarters (1998) and the Parc André-Citroën (2000) in Paris, the Coeur-Défense twin towers (2001), the Sofitel Water Tower in Chicago (2002), the McNay Museum of Modern Art in San Antonio, TX (2008) – the first ever American modern art museum built by a French architect, the Maroc Telecom tower in Rabat (2012), the SFR campus in Saint-Denis (2013), the Majunga Tower in La Défense (2014), the Oncopole and the Institut universitaire du cancer in Toulouse (2014)…These productions will soon be followed by the Europea quarter in Brussels – the remodeled site of the 1958 World Fair, the Vinci headquarters in Nanterre, the Banque de France's fiduciary hub in La Courneuve, an office tower in Casablanca, the IoT Valley in Toulouse, and Hyperion, the highest housing tower build in wood (57 meters) in Bordeaux.Placing the architect in a constant contextual movement, many of Jean-Paul Viguier's works are part of a reflection on the connection to ancient constructions such as: the Reims library (2002) facing the Notre-Dame de Reims cathedral, the Natural History Museum in Toulouse (2008) and more recently the Canadian Embassy in Paris and the remodeling of the flagship store of one of the most notorious French couture brand.
