Nánar um Pierre David:

Eftir að hafa kennt í átta ár við Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage í Versailles, fór Pierre David að kenna landslags- og arkitektúr við Harvard GSD, Columbia háskóla og Rice háskóla. Hann hefur verið gestaprófessor við margar aðrar bandarískar háskólastofnanir, þar á meðal Berkeley, UWM/Milwaukee og Iowa State University.

Í Frakklandi hefur hann kennt við École d’Architecture de Clermont-Ferrand og í Marseille. Hann hefur einnig gegnt stöðu prófessor við École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Malaquais.

Árið 2003 komst hann í úrslit í hönnunarsamkeppni fyrir minningarreit á staðnum þar sem World Trade Center stóð í New York. Verkefni hans, „Garður ljóssins“ (e. Garden of Light), lenti í öðru sæti af meira en 6.800 innsendum tillögum og vakti mikla athygli í bæði innlendum og alþjóðlegum fjölmiðlum.

Í samstarfi við Roland Castro og City-Linked vann hann einnig að framtíðarverkefninu Evry Métropole 2025 fyrir Evry Centre Essonne borgarsamfélagið. Á allt öðrum skala hannaði hann borgarspa, „Six Senses“, á Place Vendôme í París í samstarfi við Patrick Blanc, sérfræðing í plöntuveggjum.

Hann er höfundur bókar um matjurtagarð konungsins í Versailles sem kom út hjá Editions de la Martinière, Le Potager du Roi, með ljósmyndaranum Gilles Memet. Hann var einnig aðalritstjóri ritsins um hönnun og byggingu Louis Vuitton Foundation eftir Frank Gehry í París.

Frá árinu 2009 hefur hann verið sérfræðingur hjá Þróunaráætlun Sameinuðu þjóðanna fyrir tvær helgustu borgir íslams í Sádi-Arabíu, Mekka og Medína. Stofa hans við Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris Malaquais vinnur ásamt Centre Français de Jérusalem (CNRS), Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris og Bezalel School of Architecture í Jerúsalem að þróun hugmyndar um „þriðja land“ sem staðsett er milli grænu línunnar frá 1948 og aðskilnaðarmúrsins sem byggður var á 2000-áratugnum milli Ísraels og Palestínu.

Í dag heldur hann áfram verkefnum sínum bæði sem einstaklingur og innan hópsins sem hann stofnaði, Lateral Agency.
