Aline Asmar d’Amman is the founder of Culture in Architecture, an agency based in Paris and Beirut (her birthplace) that’s seeks to build bridges between cultures while connecting the past and present.
“Approaching each project with an evocative and narrative force, I construct an intricate dialogue between the raw and the precious, heritage and modernity, poetry and materiality,” the architect tells Verve.
Culture in Architecture has overseen several iconic design projects, including the renovation of the decor of Le Jules Verne, the Eiffel Tower’s legendary eatery, and the ongoing renovation of Venice’s historic Palazzo Dona Giovannelli, future home to the Orient Express Hotel. The architect has also previously collaborated with Karl Lagerfeld on the decoration of Les Grands Appartements at Hotel de Crillon.
“My work ranges from interior design to artistic direction and scenography across luxury hospitality, private residential and various design commissions,” adds Aline. “I’m committed to the transfer of knowledge and to fostering cultural conversations.”
