We honor Richard Meier for his single-minded pursuit of the essence of modern architecture. He has broadened its range of forms to make it responsive to the expectations of our time.
In his search for clarity and his experiments in balancing light and space, he has created structures which are personal, vigorous, original.
What he has achieved is only prologue to the compelling new experiences we anticipate from his drawing board.

Comme de nombreux sièges de chaîne de télévision, le vaisseau de "Canal+" se pose le long de la Seine et en l'occurrence au bord du parc André Citroën. L'oeuvre française de Meier reprend le vocabulaire classique de l'architecte : blancheur, modularité, plasticité, ...
Les services administratifs se trouvent dans la partie vitrée donnant sur la Seine. Un grand atrium marquant l'entrée les sépare du bâtiment de production opaque donnant sur la rue des Cévennes
