Alexandre Chemetoff was born in 1950 in Paris. He has chosen to practice his work with an open and free way, rejecting the limit and the boundaries between disciplines: a polytechnic art that deals with everything adopting a relative attitude. Alexandre Chemetoff conceived the practice of his subject as a commitment in world. The program is a raised question, the site a place of resources and the project is a way to change the rules of the game. In 1983 he founded the Bureau des Paysages, a structure with architects, landscape architects and urban planners. In 2008 creates Alexandre Chemetoff & associés.
