Alexandre Autin lives in Nîmes, France. His practice is dedicated to the restoration of historical monuments and gardens.
He holds a degree in architecture from the École Spéciale d’Architecture, Paris (1988), a degree in historic monuments restoration from the École de Chaillot, Paris (2015) and a degree in historic gardens restoration from the École Nationale d’Architecture, Versailles (2021).
He joined the archeological campaign for antiques survey at Terme di Elagabalo with La Sapienza Università, Roma in 2013. Before he established his own practice, Alexandre Autin worked on significant projects at the US Department of Energy in Berkeley, California and with architect Renzo Piano in Genoa, Italy.
