Damien Villiere: Up, Up and Away

"Villière is known in European advertising circles as the go-to guy for spectacular events, a specialty he first learned through working with Bault (Euro RSCG Creative Director). They even employ Paris landmarks to ensure their happenings make a suitably grand impression: the Eiffel Tower for the Rugby World Cup, the Assemblée Nationale for the anniversary of D-Day, the Champs Elysées for the launch of Citroen’s new showroom."

Dave Chisholm, 2008 Architects Jury Winner

Dave Chisholm graduated with Honors from the architecture school at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He currently owns and operates a graphic & web design company, Crescendo Multimedia.

Dave’s first ‘real’ project, a luxury sea view residence, is currently under construction in Wellington, and several others are still in the design phase, including a waterfront residence in Sydney.

By his own admission, Artlantis has played an invaluable role in nearly every project he’s designed in the last 5 years, especially his winning entry in the 2008 Architects Jury competition. Congratulations, Dave, and keep up the good work!
