Dans le paysage architectural actuel, Alain Sarfati se distingue très nettement. Sa botte secrète est la maîtrise des contraintes. Il défriche de nouvelles idées, brouille les cartes en permanence. Chantre de la diversité, il ne se laisse pas enfermer dans une tendance. Sa liberté déroute, son style est foisonnant, son architecture découle d’une réflexion, elle est éclectique, sans limites formelles. Sa vision est globale, il s’intéresse autant aux lieux, qu’aux paysages, qu’aux bâtiments. Sa rigueur n’exclut pas l’ouverture sur le rêve. De là, les multiples références à la nature qui jalonnent son œuvre. Tout autant conceptuel que contextuel, Sarfati adore revisiter, il sait prendre ce qu’il y a de meilleur. Il apporte sa patte, son grain de sel, comme il sait si bien le faire en cuisine : il invente, réinvente et considère que la saveur de l’architecture est une somme de subtilités.

Alain Sarfati is one of the leading figures in modern-day architecture. He excels in working imaginatively within strict constraints – the secret of his success. He breaks new ground, dazzling us with his dexterity again and again. He exalts diversity, never allows himself to be confined to any one trend. His freedom of expression catches us off guard, his style is bursting with creativity, and his architectural designs flow from deep reflection, are eclectic, observing no formal limits. His vision is all-encompassing: he is as interested in places as in landscapes or buildings; nevertheless his self-discipline still leaves room for fantasy. This shows in the many references to nature that mark out his work. With an approach that is both conceptual and contextual, Sarfati loves to revisit and review, extracting the best. To his designs he brings his personal flair, adds his special mix, much as he does when he cooks: he invents, reinvents, and believes the savor of the architecture to be the sum of its delicacie
