Founded in 2007 in Paris by Stephanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot, Bruther works in the fields of architecture, research, education, urbanism and landscape. Bruther aims “to understand and to accept conceptual and constructive needs but also to be able to back down and unexpectedly encounter new experimentation and research areas. Our projects suggest a delicate balance between strategy and form, rigour and freedom, specific and generic, immediacy and evolutivity. Considering the programme in its future, our projects stand for open infrastructures that fit an abundance of context possibilities and a wide malleability of uses”.

Before receiving the Swiss Architectural Award 2020, Bruther was awarded the Prix de l’Equerre d’argent 2016 (for the New Generation Research Centre, Caen), the Gold Award, Best Architects Awards 2016 (for the Cultural and Sports Centre Saint-Blaise, Paris) and nominated in 2015 for the Mies van der Rohe Award (for the Cultural and Sports Centre Saint-Blaise, Paris). Stephanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot have lectured at various architecture schools worldwide, as Associate Professor of Architecture & Design. Alexandre Theriot is currently a Professor in the Department of Architecture, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Switzerland.
