Valérie Lechêne
New York City
Born in Paris, I moved to Beijing at 8 years old - the same age at which Rem Koolhaas moved to Jakarta. I spent my teens in Montreal and Washington, DC, where I attended the French International School and hung out in the halls of various embassies and the World Bank.
After completing my undergraduate degree in Architecture, History and Philosophy at McGill University, I joined the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam at 22 years old - the same age at which Bjarke Ingels first walked through OMA's door.
I am currently looking for short term opportunities until beginning my Master of Architecture studies at Columbia University's GSAPP (Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Perservation).
