Perrin's long list of accolades pair with his passion for inventive design approaches, love of surfing, and his kind-hearted nature. A dear friend to many, the Paris-born architect spent his time working in Southern California and France. The founder of Air Architecture, Perrin studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts. With his father being a professor of sculpture, Perrin's interests in art and curation only added to the depth and vision of his multidisciplinary approach to architecture.
