Dominique Coulon was born in 1961. In 1989 he created his own studio with which, in 1990, he received a special prize for the international competition of The Japan Culture House in Paris. In the following years he received numerous architectural awards and prizes.

Parallel to his architectural practice, he teaches at the Ecole d’Architecture de Strasbourg where he founded the Masters program “Architecture and Complexity”. As a way to find a new dynamic approach to each architectural project, the agency's methodology draws upon the rich exchange of information stemming interdisciplinary work. Complexity thus becomes the catalyst for the architectural project.

In 2008 the agency was named Dominique Coulon & Associés, with Olivier Nicollas and Steve Letho Duclos as partners architects. Benjamin Rocchi became partner architect in 2014.
