Garcia has also amassed a portfolio that epitomizes classic French design. He refurbished 35 rooms at the Louvre and several private residences at Versailles over the course of the last ten years, lavishly recreating the interiors of 17th-century buildings. He is said to be an obsessive antique collector who buys at least one thing every day.

Garcia certainly has room for his ever-expanding collection given that he converted a medieval Sicilian monastery into his own personal retreat. Since then, the AD100 Hall of Fame designer has written two books about his one-of-a-kind residence: Jacques Garcia: A Sicilian Dream: Villa Elena and Jacques Garcia: Twenty Years of Passion: Chateau du Champ de Bataille. He definitely deserves his spot on the Hall of Fame AD100.

His capacity to scale up these concepts may be shown in two recent projects: The concrete panels that cover the V&A Dundee museum in Scotland’s coastal city give it the appearance of being formed like a line of ships or even a sheer cliff face. The 68,000-seat National Japan Stadium for the 2020 Summer Olympics, which is covered with a series of eaves constructed of wood from each of the nation’s prefectures, is his greatest achievement to date. His first residential skyscraper in the United States and a Miami apartment that Aman built recently were both inspired by the city’s art deco past.
