Bernard Desmoulin graduated in 1981, and studied beneath the glass dome of the Grand Palais, before working in diverse firms in Paris and New York. In 1984, he got admitted for a two years residency in the prestigious Villa Medicis in Roma. Awarded as one of the best young architects after he returned, he won the architecture and landscape contest with the construction of the Frejus’ Necropolis, and created his firm in 1990.
Among his achievements are various public amenities, often dedicated to culture and expressing a contemporary bias in some remarkable places (Villa Medicis, Rodin Museum, Louvre Palace, Zone Rosa in Mexico, Cluny’s abbey, Château de Versailles…)
His work embraces architecture, landscape and museography. Bernard Desmoulin participates in diverse consultations (Jean-Paul Gautier’s head office, French Ambassy in Tokyo, restructuration of the Picasso Museum in Paris, Albert Kahn Museum in Boulogne…), and conceives the scenography for some international conferences, in collaboration with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Honored with the Equerre d’Argent Prize in 2009 for the conception of the Leo Delibes Conservatory in Clichy (near Paris), he also won the Silver medal of the Architecture Academy in 2000.

Lastly, Bernard Desmoulin is a professor at the National Architecture School of Paris Val de Seine, and a consultant architect for the State.
