Bernard Cache is one of those pioneer architects of «non-standard» architecture, being also the one who introduced the term. As a student of Giles Deleuze, he translated his philosophical discourse into architectural discourse. His recent inquiry can be summed up, in his own words, to the question and investigation of «reestablishing a link between antiquity and the contemporary world». He is a contemporary «homo universalis of the renaissance» with studies covering a broad epistemological spectrum. They begin with mathematics (Mathématiques Supérieures Ecole Ste Geneviève, 1976) and also include economics (Ecole Supérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales, 1985) and philosophy (Diploma of Institut Polytechnique de Philosophie de Paris under the supervision of Deleuze, 1983). Architecture is of course the centrepoint of his studies in core level (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, 1976-1983) and also in doctoral level (PhD with «Vitruvius’ De Architectura» as a subject, 2009). His contribution to architectural theory focuses on the interdisciplinary exploration of geometry based on examples from art history (Albrecht Dürer) and architecture (Vitruvius). By going through ancient Greek philosophical thought, he transforms Euclidean geometry to topology. His contribution to architectural practice includes the experimental exploration and design of digital software and procedures for the “Non- Standard production of architectural components”. After his 10 year long research in imaging and communications technology, Cache together with Patrick Beauce founded Objectile, a Digital Architecture Laboratory for the design of software such as «TopSolid CAD/CAM». Cache has also founded the «Digital Production Workshop» at the Escuela Superior d’Arqitetura in Barcelona. Many of Objectile’s projects have been published and exhibited worldwide. Cache has been a visiting professor in a series of architectural schools throughout Europe and North America: Toronto (University of Toronto), Los Angeles (UCLA), Barcelona (Universidad Internacional de Catalu_a), Rotterdam (Berlage), Torino (Politecnico di Torino), Grenoble. He has also taught Information Economics at the Université de Paris V and Human Sciences at the ESSEC (Ecole Supérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales) in Paris. Born in Saint Quentin, France in 1958, he is now a practising architect in Paris. Bernard Cache Cache Bernard
