THANK YOU MR TAILLIBERT: VOLUMES AND LIGHT ACDF ARCHITECTURE Roger Taillibert is an architect.  He has spent most of his career building emblematic buildings, marked by his unconventionality and a deep sense of innovation.  Constantly in the spotlight, Taillibert realizes buildings with flexible forms and intended, certainly, to meet the needs of users, but above all, to create strong emotions. F   or him, architecture must provoke emotion, “A necessity for the human being”.   Because of the innovative nature of the projects he proposes, Roger Taillibert turns out to be a well-publicized, prominent figure.  Behind the scenes of his architectural practice, sheltered from external looks, constraints and criticisms, Taillibert escapes into the study of movements, colors and landscapes that he fixes, this time, on paintings. From his first child drawings to his architectural plans, Roger Taillibert has plunged into free creativity.  His assiduous practice of painting, long hidden, unknown to the public, astonishes by the contrasts of colors and the control of the subjects.
