TVK conducts strategic research on the major themes conditioning the development of the planet. It crosses essential topics, sometimes neglected in the contemporary city; such as the potential of architecture in locations determined by other factors, the role of large modern infrastructures, the status of monumentality, or the environmental condition in the metropolitan context. Pierre Alain Trévelo and Antoine Viger-Kohler teach in architecture schools where they are also invited as guest critics and lecture extensively in France and abroad.
