&ldquo;The philosophy behind this project destined for the Chanel&nbsp;M&eacute;tiers d&#39;Art is founded on a narrative, that of the relationship between the technical and scholarly complexity of fashion&rsquo;s craftsmen, their remarkable virtuosity in the service of creation and beauty, and the extreme technological nature of my constructions. It is a mutual eulogy to complexity &ndash; that of a building set to achieve an unparalleled level &ndash; and of the relationship to knowledge.&rdquo;

&ndash; Rudy Ricciotti
